Pause/Resume Timeline triggers cause Screen Reader to start over at the beginning of the slide focus order
I am using the Pause Timeline and Resume Timeline feature in Storyline 360 for layers in which I want the base layer build to be paused while a layer is active (until it is closed).
In these case...
Hello C Green,
Happy to help!
We'll need to look at your project file to see how it's currently configured. Once we have a copy, we'll test it using popular screen readers to observe the reported behavior. Would you be willing to share a copy of your project file here or privately by opening a support case for testing? We'll delete it when we're done!
Unfortunately I'm not at liberty to share these files.
Further research suggests to me that the behavior is the result of having set the slide to 'Reset to initial' when revisited, rather than to 'Resume saved state'. We did this to enable the 'replay' button to actually replay the slide from the beginning if selected (which seems like what a replay should do no matter what that setting is, but anyway).
I wasn't considering a timeline 'pause/resume' to be a 'revisit' either so I didn't suspect that until doing some additional digging. I have changed the setting back to 'Resume saved' and added some conditional logic to adjust for the replay issue and hope that addresses the issue.
We are awaiting further testing confirmation that it worked from our compliance team. If it didn't I may be back for more advice.
Thanks!
CGreen
