New articulate flipbook, stairstep and Carousel not working

Hi Chandrani and welcome to Heroes,

When you create a new interaction in Engage, you should see a "Community Interactions" tab on the left.  After you click that tab, you should see a drop-down box with your installed interactions.  Let me know if you still don't see them.

Hi Brian,

Thans very much for the quick reply.

Your screenshots in your reply have helped very much.

Thanks a ton! I am now busy putting the new interactivies in my course!

Cheers!

Hi,

I have a licensed copy of Articulate 09.  I have dowloaded all the the three new interactions (flipbook, stairs and flashcards).  I built a new interaction in the flipbook.  However when I go the ppt file and try to add that interaction from the Articulate>Engage Interaction, I do not see anything..nothing happens.  Pls advise.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Anu

Hi Anu & welcome to Heroes,

Can you please clarify the issue that you're having?  When you click on the Engage interaction button, do you get a pop up window with the option to "Create New" or "Add Existing" interactions?  If nothing at all happens, then it sounds like you need to install Visual Basic for Applications per the method described in the link below:

Thanks Brian.  It is working now..

Hi Anu,

Thanks for letting me know that you were able to resolve the issue!

Is there somewhere that describes in detail what the Flipbook interaction is capable of/how it works?  There does not seem to be any documentation....unless I am just looking in the wrong places!

Hi Scott!

The Flipbook interaction allows users to step through a series of related content pages in the metaphor of a book or instruction manual. You can download and install it directly into Engage in a few easy steps... and it's free! Once installed, you'll see for yourself how easy it is to use:

I have Flipbook installed and functioning.  What I do not have is documentation for the Interaction.  What can be done with it?

So questions like:

    Can the stage be resized?  What is the size of the default output (meaning dimensions)?  If I am placing this interaction somewhere, what size will it be?  Critical item.  Since I am loading text from a document (it would be nice to have Flipbook builder open a doc inline!!), I can't get things lined up not knowing what I have as a stage.  Can't resize the stage it seems like.  Plz help!!

   This is a cool interaction, but I don't see a batch load function (or is everything loaded manually)?  This could be a great way to look at user manuals, magazines, newsletters, e-zine, etc.  For my company, the user guides and documentation roll-outs are critical.  But manually loading?

Great potential for a real eLearning home run!  I can't recommend buying huge volumes of this product unless there is a payoff.  Right now, it looks very BETA. I could be wrong, so please chime in if so.  I want this to work!  Believe me.

Thank you.

Does anyone know if you are able to add a custom background to the flipbook interaction in Articulate '09?  I have a picture of a notebook that i would like to add as the background to the pages in flipbook.

Thanks.

Sorry Kochelle, I'm not aware of any way to add your custom notebook to the background of the Flipbook interaction. The community interactions tend to be more limited than the Articulate-produced interactions. 

Hello!

I downloaded the flipbook interaction, and it says I installed it correctly. However, it does not display when I open Engage and click New. I am wondering if I have installed it in the wrong location. I am working on a Windows 8 machine. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks so much!

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes, Carol!

After you download the .artkpkg file, just double-click it to install.

Next time you open Engage to create a new interaction, choose Community Interactions and then select Flipbook. 

It should look like this:

I hope this helps! Let us know if you're still unable to find the interaction.

Thanks!

Thanks so much, Christine. I missed the drop-down menu and didn't realize it was beneath Flashcards. Thank you for your help!

Good morning Carol,

You're very welcome! :) Happy I could help.

Have a great day!

Christine
