Over the weekend, I posted a throwback screencast, Adding Values Using Variables in Articulate Storyline, and one viewer commented saying this was all well and good, but how to we prevent continual calculation when the user click Calculate more than once. Today’s screencast seeks to answer that question.

In this particular example, the best approaches would be to add another variable, and then some triggers to change states to either Disabled or Hidden. If you were tracking clicks, you could add a variable, and then use subtract variable functionality, but for this particular example, that solution wouldn’t work well due to the data entry field. If you want to see what I’m talking about, check out the screencast below!

Hey folks! What are you doing on this lovely Friday evening? I’m recording screencasts! Today I recreated a gate screen I had previously created for an E-Learning Heroes Challenge, and I did it from scratch, so you get to hear all of ramblings that pop out of my mouth during the course of a normal interaction buildout.

I’ll apologize in advance for 1 – my scatterbrained thoughts and 2 – the bone you can hear my dog gnawing on. If you’re interested in seeing how I created this gate screen, check out the demo below!

Today’s post illustrates a quick example of how to use motion paths in Articulate Storyline 2 or 360. This example uses only one motion path; perhaps tomorrow we’ll use multiple motion paths and create a traffic accident on our quiet street…you’ll have to stay tuned to see what we do tomorrow!

Today I’m talking data loss…something most of us have likely experienced, and something I know I have certainly cried over.

Storyline 2 and Storyline 360 have an AutoRecovery function (sorry Storyline 1 users), and it has saved my butt on many an occasion. By default, the functionality is turned on/selected, but it’s always a good best practice to quickly check the Storyline Options when you begin a new project, and adjust the save time to your liking.
