RIVE animations in Storyline
I was curious if anyone has used RIVE for interactive elements in Storyline. I know they can be imbedded in the JavaScript, but I was wondering if you could use the listeners for interactivity within a Storyline project. Any guidance would be appreciated. I'm not sure if I'm barking up the wrong tree or not.Exporting Storyline variables to Google Sheets
Hello everyone, I have no programming background and would appreciate some help. I am trying to export variables from Storyline to a Google Sheet. The course is published on the reach 360 platform. I used the following code for the ExcuteJavascript trigger: console.log("JavaScript from Trigger is running!"); var player = GetPlayer(); $(document).ready(function() { $.ajax({ url: "https://script.google.com/macros/s/.../exec", type: "POST", dataType: "json", contentType: "application/json", data: JSON.stringify({ "FullName": player.GetVar("FullName"), "Quiz1.ScorePercent": player.GetVar("Quiz1.ScorePercent"), "Quiz2.ScorePercent": player.GetVar("Quiz2.ScorePercent"), "Quiz3.ScorePercent": player.GetVar("Quiz3.ScorePercent"), "Quiz4.ScorePercent": player.GetVar("Quiz4.ScorePercent"), "Quiz5.ScorePercent": player.GetVar("Quiz5.ScorePercent"), "Quiz6.ScorePercent": player.GetVar("Quiz6.ScorePercent"), "Quiz7.ScorePercent": player.GetVar("Quiz7.ScorePercent"), "Quiz8.ScorePercent": player.GetVar("Quiz8.ScorePercent"), "Quiz9.ScorePercent": player.GetVar("Quiz9.ScorePercent"), "Quiz10.ScorePercent": player.GetVar("Quiz10.ScorePercent"), "Quiz11.ScorePercent": player.GetVar("Quiz11.ScorePercent"), "Quiz12.ScorePercent": player.GetVar("Quiz12.ScorePercent") }), success: function(data) { console.log("Data sent successfully:", data); }, error: function(error) { console.error("Error sending data:", error); } }); }); return false; I receive the following response in the console: Javascript from Trigger is running! and immediately after that the error: actionator::exeJavaScript - $ is not defined I read the thread: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/exporting-variables-into-a-google-spreadsheet But because the course is published on the reach 360 platform, I have no idea how to get to the files: story.html and story_html5.html to add the missing JQUERY library as explained in the thread in the link. I would appreciate any help. What can I do?How To Embed An ElevenLabs Conversational AI Widget Into SL360 Using JS!

Hi everyone, I'm currently experimenting with creating a floating animation for a button using javascript. The goal is that when learners hover over the button, it will float up slightly, and when the mouse leaves, the button will bounce back to its original position. Here’s the JavaScript code I’m using: let button = document.querySelector("[data-model-id='60P0mJeyWGh']"); button.addEventListener("mouseover", () => { gsap.to(button, { y: -0.5, // Moves the button up by 0.5 pixels (subtle effect) duration: 1, // Animation duration ease: "power1.inOut", // Smooth easing yoyo: true, // Makes it come back to the original position repeat: 1, // Repeats once to go up and back down }); }); button.addEventListener("mouseout", () => { gsap.from(button, { // Uses gsap.from to return to the original position y: 0, // Moves back to the original position duration: 1, // Duration for the return animation ease: "power1.inOut", // Smooth easing }); }); However, when I implement this in Storyline, the button moves WAY more than 0.5 pixels and, after several hover events, ends up moving all the way to the top of the slide. Can anyone review my code and see if there might be an issue? I’m not sure why this is happening. I have also attached the Storyline file in case it would be helpful for review. Thank you!Dynamic border radius experiment
This was just a little experiment to see if I could manipulate the border radius of shapes on the slide numerically using JavaScript, and the answer is yes. Not sure of any use case, but I've always wanted to be able to control the border radius numerically in Storyline as border radius is not maintained when resizing shapes. I'm not sure if this could help as there is no easy way of targeting specific shapes in a slide without knowing their unique ID. It was a bit of fun anyway. If anybody would like to play or expand on this, go for it. What I've found so far, is it will only support solid or no outlines on shapes. When you start using other styles (dot, dash) an image is used by Storyline to achieve this. window.updateCornerRadius = function(targets, radius) { targets.forEach(function(target){ const path = document.querySelector(`[data-dv_ref="ref-${target}"] path`); if (!path) { console.error(`SVG target ${target} not found.`); return; } // Extract the bounding box of the current path const bbox = path.getBBox(); const x = bbox.x; const y = bbox.y; const width = bbox.width; const height = bbox.height; // Ensure radius doesn't exceed half the width or height radius = Math.min(radius, width / 2, height / 2); // Construct a new path data string with the updated corner radius const newPathData = ` M ${x + radius},${y} H ${x + width - radius} A ${radius},${radius} 0 0 1 ${x + width},${y + radius} V ${y + height - radius} A ${radius},${radius} 0 0 1 ${x + width - radius},${y + height} H ${x + radius} A ${radius},${radius} 0 0 1 ${x},${y + height - radius} V ${y + radius} A ${radius},${radius} 0 0 1 ${x + radius},${y} Z `; // Update the path's "d" attribute path.setAttribute("d", newPathData); }); } An example of this being called. I'm using a variable, borderRadius, change trigger. const borderRadius = getVar("borderRadius"); window.updateCornerRadius(['12','15','18','21'], borderRadius);Always on top
I just set myself the challenge of having elements that are "always on top". I've worked on a handful of courses in the past, that had an irregular shaped header graphic (sometimes with drop shadow), where it would have been great to be able to set some elements in the Master Template to appears always on top of other elements within the module. For those courses, I had to create a slice of the header (the irregular shaped part) and paste on each slide, where the header appeared over another element on the slide. I have had some success, and of course it is a JavaScript implementation. This is very much an ALPHA release. Here's the implementation if interested in having a play with it or extending it. I'm sure there will be some elements, that I haven't played with, that may need some extra logic in the JS. For each element you would like to appear always on top, add the string "{AOT}" in the "Alternative text" field. If the element is decorative, you can just add "{AOT}". This will be taken care of during processing (removed, and set to aria-hidden=true). If the element is non-decorative, for example an exit button, you would just add "{AOT}Exit" to the alternative text. This would also be process, and "{AOT}" removed and "Exit" retained in the ALT text. Add the following script to the "timeline starts" on the SLIDE MASTER. This ensures that the script will process on every slide. const init = () => { // inititial value for z-index let z = 999; // get all elements with data-acc-text attribute starting with "{AOT}" const elements = document.querySelectorAll('[data-acc-text^="{AOT}"]'); // loop through each element elements.forEach(element => { // get the modelId and accText from the element's dataset const { modelId, accText } = element.dataset; // get the root element with the same modelId const rootElement = document.querySelector(`[data-model-id="${modelId}"]`); // set the z-index of the root element (incrementing by 1 each time) rootElement.style.zIndex = z++; // get the alternative text by removing "{AOT}" from accText and trimming the result const alt = String(accText).replace('{AOT}', '').trim(); // get the alt element with the id "acc-${modelId}" const altElement = document.getElementById(`acc-${modelId}`); // set the alternative text to the element's dataset element.dataset.accText = alt; // re-write the inner text of the alt element altElement.innerText = alt; // if the alternative text is empty (decorative), set the aria-hidden attribute to true and the z-index to -1 if (!alt) { altElement.setAttribute('aria-hidden', 'true'); altElement.style.zIndex = '-1'; } else { if (altElement.hasAttribute('aria-label')) altElement.setAttribute('aria-label', alt); } }); }; requestAnimationFrame(() => { init(); }); I've also including a very simple example file. This just demonstrates that the designated "Always on top" elements will appear over the image on the slide.New Tutorial! Better Organise Unruly Navigation Menus With Custom Line Separators and JS

How to implementing 180-Degree Slider Control
I want to connect a slider to the 360-degree image, enabling the user to control the horizontal movement, similar to how the 'A' and 'D' keys work. I'm unsure which method would result in smoother interaction, so I'd appreciate your recommendation on the best approach. Please refer to the attached image. Additionally, instead of rotating the image a full 360 degrees, I only want to rotate it 180 degrees using the slider. The process I’m describing differs from typical object rotation in product viewers (e.g., rotating a device with a dial). My image is equirectangular, commonly used for 360-degree panoramic views, and I only want to control 180 degrees of its movement through the slider. Based on the instructions provided, the image can be rotated and moved using the keyboard keys (W, A, S, D), but I’d like to replicate this interaction using a slider instead of keyboard input. I also came across a discussion here where someone mentioned difficulties with students using Chromebooks being unable to rotate 360-degree pictures on their touchscreens. They were seeking an alternative method, such as using a slider, to rotate the image. I’m facing a similar challenge, and I’d appreciate any guidance on how to best implement this functionality.
