Storyline for Mac - ITS TIME
Hi Articulate! While I appreciate the ability to download a Parallels system to run Storyline on my Mac, the Parallels system takes up ~180GB of space on my computer. Also Parallels costs $99.99/yr. ITS TIME to create a Mac-native storyline app. Many designers and creatives use Mac for the enhanced UX for art creation, and I'm tired of moving files around constantly to make room for a program that essentially takes up ~180GB. So that's an extra $99.99/yr plus the need for external harddrives to run what should be a 1GB program with solely its own subscription costs. Anyone else curious as to why Articulate hasn't made a Mac-friendly Storyline app yet? Would love to generate some discussion and get a fire lit under Articulate...Especially since iSpring, Elucidat, Captivate, and Camtasia are all Mac-friendly already...seems like Articulate might lose a good amount of customers if they dont get Mac friendly!Drawing Annotation on Storyline Slide
Demo: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/518383b2-1161-408d-b9f5-adb9a6f57a11/review Inspired by code discussed on: https://img.ly/blog/how-to-draw-on-an-image-with-javascript/ Using Charts in your Storyline | Articulate - Community About This is a brief example of using an HTML canvas element to enable annotation on a Storyline slide. The example displays an image on a slide, sets a few variables, and the accessibility tags of a some slide objects. It then triggers a JavaScript trigger to create a canvas over the image, and then watches the mouse buttons and movement to allow drawing on the canvas. How it works A canvas element is created, filled with the specified base image, and inserted below a small rectangle (canvasAnchor) that is the same width as and placed directly above the image. Another rectangle (canvasClickArea) overlays and is sized to match the image. This is the area that allows drawing on the canvas (where the mouse is watched). Brush width and color can be controlled. The drawing can be cleared. It also resizes with the slide. To improve The events to watch the mouse and clear button should be better handled to allow removal when a new canvas is created. A mechanism to allow a blank base (clear) should be reinstated. Right now it just relies on the use of the initial image from the slide. Both options have their uses. Since the canvas is a raster image, resizing to very small and then very large results in poor image quality. The image can be extracted from the canvas. This could be saved or printed. More drawing options are available with the canvas element. Credit: X-ray images from https://learningradiology.com/Export/Import Resources from Player
I'd like to make a request/suggestion for Storyline 360. I would really like a feature that would export a resource list from an existing project to import into a new project. My use case - I am building a course that is modular and need the same Glossary & Resource entries. You now have the Glossary export/import (yeah!) -- now, how about Resources? Would be very grateful! Lynn Puhr, GE HealthcareFeature Request: Motion Path Reverse Option
If you've used motion paths, you've probably been frustrated by the need to have separate paths to move an object back and forth. Wouldn't it be great if the Move trigger let you choose between moving in the original direction of the path or simply reversing that direction!?! I envision the Trigger Wizard for this feature looking something like this: I've submitted an official feature request. You can do that, too, by going here: https://articulate.com/support/contact/feature-requestJump to Slide [%%variable%%] AND Jump to Slide [the_one_before_this_one]
I've read questions from as far back as "the beginning" of Storyline that STILL have not been resolved. Can any of you please help me find a reasonable answer to these 2 questions? It has been nearly a DECADE, and we still cannot do 2 (simple) things that LOTS of us need. 1) Jump to a slide which is contained in a variable (If I put a 7 into a variable, then a trigger jumps to slide 7. If I put a 4 instead; it jumps to slide 4. Really useful.) Set destinationSlide to value7 Jump to slide %%destinationSlide%% 2)Go to the slide just before this one. From slide 7, I need to go to 6, to 8, or back to the slide I came from. SOLVED. From slide 2,you jump to slide 7, from there: ^ BACK(goes Back to slide you came from: slide 2) < PREV(goes to slide Previous to 7: slide 6) > NEXT(goes to slide Next after 7: slide 8) Why has Storyline not been able to "solve" this problem in almost a decade, when all it takes (instead of repeatedly telling people that "previous" works like "back")is to simply create a "back" that works like "back" and let "previous" and "next" be the matched pair that they are in the rest of the digital world? Sure, ALL existing projects will have to be modified. SO, just create a (FREE) utility that goes through each project and replaces any existing "Jump to Previous" actions into "Jump Back" actions. OR, set a boolean preference, that can be toggled to the "old, problematic, frustrating way" or to the "new, logical, useful way" See? It CAN be fixed. PLEASE??? Thanks for listening.TIP: Let the user choose their path
The attached file demonstrates how to let users choose a unique path through a course based on their role or othercircumstances. It includes two methods: How to navigate when the user can only select 1 option. How to navigate when the user could select more than 1 option. Notes The built-in Menu isnot shown in the demo file. That's because Storyline can't rebuild the menu based on which path is selected. Both methods use trigger conditions and variables. It’s worth the effort to learn about those, because they provide the real power in Storyline. Here’s more information: This post provides an overview of variables. It also links to numerous resources. The Value of Variables | Articulate - Community The User Guide articles about triggers include some about conditions.
