I have uploaded aritculate engage content to a folder and have linked
to the engage.swf file using the 'moodle media' button in the text
editor. The swf loads fine but just runs the progress bar' - no external
content is added. My guess is that the engage.swf uses a relative link
to the content but that Moodle requires absolute.
As far as I am aware engage does not allow the user to put in absolute links - does anyone have any other suggestions??
It does sound as if it may be an issue on the Moodle end. Have you had a chance to review this handy article on troubleshooting Articulate/LMS issues?:
You might want to try running a test with Scorm Cloud (found under subheading #3) to determine whether it's an issue with your LMS or with the content.
yeah - relative files across general links in Moodle 2.x won't work unless they are within a SCORM package or a "folder" using the add resource -> folder option.
(they did work in 1.9 but due to changes in the file api won't work in 2.x)
Are you suggesting that it can work by using the add resources -> folder option. I am not sure how this would work as I think this is how I already have it set up
I'm having problems with something similar but for a full package not just a quiz (I'm using 2.0 something). I basically want to have a button image (not the dull hyperlink which is automatically created) which links to the player.html file but it was doing the exact same thing. (Note: I also want it opening full screen in a new window).
It's a bit complicated but here is what I did.
Add a New File
Go to Add a Resource --> File
Give name/ description etc
Upload zip file
Unzip file and navigate to player.html (in your case engage.swf)
Set as main file
I don't think it matters how you set the display as all you want is the link but I chose pop-ups
Save and return to course
Get the link
Click the new file link (the one automatically created by Moodle when adding new files)
Copy the URL
Add link to different Section
Go to the section where you want to add the link
Click the Add Link icon (not media)
Copy the URL
I put target as new window and added a title
Insert link
Save and return to course.
It's working a treat for me (but won't work if you want to track with SCORM as far as I can see). Hopefully this will help even if you are doing something slightly different.
Let me know if I haven't explained something properly.

ah - that's right - the resource -> folder does some weird stuff.
use add a resource -> file instead
- it allows you to add multiple files - not just a single file - including folders etc...
that probably needs some renaming/improvement I think......
