Using the auto-scroll panel to create Closed Captioning may help meet some of these guidelines. We often receive requests from organizations who are trying to make their e-Learning courses more handicap accessible (ADA 508, WCAG, CDPA, etc.).When will you use this?Īn auto-scrolling panel is a simple, yet elegant solution, but what’s it solving? Other than it being a cool looking option, when would you use this? Here are a couple of cases to consider: story to see the three different auto-scrolling panel techniques mentioned in this blog entry.
You can also add a trigger to move the box again when the animation completes.ĭownload our sample. Need a horizontal scrolling panel?įor a ticker-type motion (think MSNBC), you can move your text box in a horizontal direction. The Relative Start Point allows you to trigger the same motion path multiple times. Now you could use cue points in your timeline to determine when to trigger the motion path. Or, you could use a shorter motion path (for example, the same height as your scrolling panel) and then set the path options to a Relative Start Point. You can easily adjust the duration to match the pace of your narration. Now, let’s think about some other options… Need to synchronize your scrolling panel with your audio? This may present a challenge to those of you who always color inside the lines, but try it anyway…be a rebel! “Where the sidewalk ends…” ~Shel Silverstein A more elegant solution is to drag the size of your panel wide enough so that the scroll bar extends beyond the edge of your canvas. One option is to cover it up, but that might be challenging if you have a textured or picture background. Tip: Since this will be an “auto scrolling” panel, you may not need or want to see the built-in scroll bar. For example, you can change the timing of the animation to start at a cue point or a specific time in the timeline. Tip: Move the motion path end point to where you can see the bottom of the text box at the bottom of the scrolling panel.ħ. Note: 59 seconds is the maximum length of duration for an animation in Storyline. (Don’t you hate it when it does that in movies?) Adjust Duration so that the text is not moving too fast. Change the Path Options to the following:Ĭ. Add a Line Motion Path to the text box (not to the scrolling panel).ĥ. Move the text box into the scrolling panel.Ĥ. Insert a text box (above or below the scrolling panel) and populate it with text.ģ. Tip: Keep in mind that the scrolling panel may cover your content, so you’ll want to make sure it’s out of the way.Ģ. Let’s jump right into how to build the auto-scrolling panel, and then we’ll look at some possible use cases. This is a great question! We liked this question so much, in fact, that we’ve now added the solution to our workshop materials. I love the scrolling panel in Storyline…Is there a way to make it automatically scroll?
