Morph Animation Not Working with Background Image
Hi everyone, I’m working on a small animation in Storyline that relies on the Morph transition between slides. The concept is to create a carousel of numbers representing a year, where Morph handles the smooth transition. Here’s what I’ve done so far: Each digit of the year is displayed using a text box that contains the numbers 0–9 arranged vertically. To show only the intended year, I added shapes that mask the top and bottom parts of these text boxes. To make these masking shapes blend in, I applied the same image as the slide background to them. However, this workaround does not work properly with the Morph transition—the animation doesn’t behave as expected. I’ve attached my file so you can take a closer look. Any ideas on why this happens or suggestions for a better approach would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.Horizontal Scrolling Bar 2025 New Method
We have been waiting for 1,5 decade for a Horizontal scrolling bar. 😆 While we wait, here's a new method that doesn't involve grouping, rotating and all that janky jazz. All you gotta do, is execute this JavaScript on a trigger when timeline starts. const square1 = object('5cIKSnWwBvM'); update(() => { square1.x = getVar('Slider1'); }); The object can be a picture, shape or a Group of many things. After this, create a Slider. Set a positive start number and a negative End number - that makes sure the scrolling bar scroll the right way (create a text box with the Slider variable in it, to fine-tune the numbers you use, it will make sense what I mean when you open the example project). I have added some shapes to create the illusion of it being inside a scrolling panel. Check the attached Storyline file for the codes and a visual example. Up next for me is to style the scrolling bar and make a custom background for it, so it looks like a real panel. Enjoy.Introducing AI Chat + JavaScript Entrance Animations
Now you can chat with AI to generate simple JavaScript animations for your slide, making it easier to bring your ideas to life. Update to the latest version to give it a try and let us know what you think! To help you get started, we have a video walkthrough, a tutorial course, and documentation to learn more about how it works, see sample prompts, and animation examples that can all be found here. Why JavaScript? This update is our first step in helping authors experiment and push creative boundaries. Based on your feedback, we’re already working on support for built-in animations—and we’ll be sharing a preview soon! We’re also exploring more ways AI can handle tedious tasks for you, so let us know what you’d like AI Assistant to be able to do for you! Try It Out! Use AI Chat to make an object fly in from the right side of the screen after one second. Feel free to get creative—frisbee flying across a park? Plane flying across a cloudy sky? Sky's the limit (see what we did there?)! Share your example in the comments below!Viewing Articulate 360 Content in SharePoint Online
Enabling Custom Scripts in SharePoint Online Custom scripts are now disabled in SharePoint Online for security reasons by default. As a result, Articulate content with the story.html file renamed to story.aspx in the published output that previously worked with SharePoint Online might not work anymore. If you don't need to track learners' progress or results, check out these free or low-cost options for web hosting. If you need to use SharePoint Online, your SharePoint admin may be able to resolve this issue by following the steps below. (Note that we don't provide support for either workaround.) As of July 10, 2024, SharePoint users will find that they are required to reenable the Custom Scripts feature every 24 hours, reverting the Custom Scripts setting to its default and disabled state. Please see Microsoft’s article on Custom Script settings for more information. Enabling Custom Script via the SharePoint Admin Center If you don't need instant access, follow these steps. Go to the SharePoint admin center and sign in with your credentials. In the sidebar to the left of the page, click Settings. (If you're using the Modern admin center, click the classic settings page hyperlink at the bottom of the Settings page.) Scroll to the Custom Script section, then select the options to Allow users to run custom script on personal sites and Allow users to run custom script on self-service created sites. Click OK to save your changes. Note that this change may take up to 24 hours to appear. Enabling Custom Script in SharePoint Online via PowerShell For instant access, follow these steps. Open Windows PowerShell with admin privileges, then run Install-Module -Name PnP.PowerShell Connect-PnPOnline -Url <url> -PnPManagementShell (replace <url> with your SharePoint URL, which will then generate a code for you to insert in your SharePoint admin center.) Run these commands in PowerShell: (replace the URL after -Url in the first command with the link to your static site collection, such as https://companyabc.sharepoint.com/sites/StaticSite). (If you need help creating a SharePoint site, refer to this article from Microsoft.) Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://yourorg.sharepoint.com/sites/StaticSite $site = Get-PnPSite Set-PnPSite -Identity $site.URL -NoScriptSite $false Your SharePoint site is almost ready to host HTML files! We just need to prepare the Articulate published output for upload. Here's how. In SharePoint, choose where you will locate this project. You can create a new folder or use the Documents location created by default with all SharePoint sites. Rename all the files with a .html extension in your unzipped published output folder to .aspx (keep the same file name). To do this, right-click the file, choose Rename, and then replace .html with .aspx. (Most projects only need to rename the analytics-frame.html and story.html files. Finally, upload the published output to your SharePoint site, then click story.aspx to launch your Articulate course. This change should take effect immediately.changing the slide numbers within a scene
Hello: I just know this is covered somewhere, but I can't find it. :-( I want to change the slide numbering progression in my scene. Right now (see attached png), the first slide is 2.1, which is fine. But the second slide in the sequence is 2.10. The order in which those slides appear is correct, but I want 2.10 to be 2.2. Then 2.2 would be 2.3. 2.15 would be 2.4. 2.11 would be 2.5. Beginning with what is now 2.3, it doesn't matter, because it's all branched. How do I do this? Thanks.TIP: Acknowledgment statements for compliance
Have you ever needed users to complete a course by agreeing to an acknowledgment statement? Such acknowledgments may be required for compliance purposes. The attached Storyline file demonstrates two ways to require agreeing to an acknowledgment statement: Using a T/F Graded Question Using custom buttons Note: Either method could be published to Review 360 and then inserted into Rise as a Storyline block.Jumping to topics in a gated module
Hi, I have a Storyline360 module uploaded to an LMS for a client. The course is gated (seekbar is locked until after slide completion and menu is Restricted). The completion score to the LMS is based on passing an assessment at the end. The client would like for their learners to be able to go back to the module after completing it and jump around between menu topics. Right now, when I re-open the course, I am prompted to Resume or Restart. Resume brings me to last page (a certificate) and Restarts starts it over, with the restrictions turned on. How can I set this up in Storyline to allow for this? Can I? Thank you!! MicheleRestore Previous Version of SL File
Hi Everyone! I have been working on a Storyline file for a few weeks now, and have published the file and saved it many times. Each day, I update the file to "Name date" such as "PD Loop 3.2" which was the most recent version on March 2nd. The review link I have shows all the previous versions and published edits. Today when I opened the file, a VERY old version of the file opened up. I have no idea how this could have happened, given that I have published and saved and updated the file many times over the past several days. Can anyone help in how to restore a file?Opening Projects Created in older versions of Storyline
Has anyone else come across an issue with opening a "story" that was created in a previous version of storyline? I downloaded the newest version, as per the prompt that appeared when I opened Articulate, and I can't open any of my previous projects to edit them!
