Flash movie in new window??

Hi Sheila,

I don't know Articulate well enough to jump in with an answer, but perhaps if you describe the steps you've taken we could tease out the answer. So, I just did it successfully and my steps were:

In PowerPoint:

1. Create slide three with 2 images. Save the document if it hasn't been previously saved.
2. Duplicate slide three to make slides four and five.
3. Go back to slide three, click on one of the images (I did the one on the left, but obviously it doesn't matter!), right-click, and choose Hyperlink from the shortcut menu.
4. In the Hyperlink dialog box, on the left, select link to place in this document and click on slide 4, and click OK.
5. Go back to slide three, click the other image, right-click, choose Hyperllink from the shorcut menu, but this time click to link to slide 5, and OK to close the dialog box.
6. Click on slide 4 in PowerPoint's navigation pane (on the left).
7. Click the Articulate tab.
8. From the Insert group, select Flash movie, navigate to and insert the desired movie.
9. I save frequently, but would do it again here.
10. From the Articulate tab, select Preview, range of slides, and preview for now just slides 3 and 4.

Is that what you did? Also, I don't know if it matters, but is your movie an .mp4 or .flv?

Hi Sheila.

It sounds like you may be experiencing issues due to viewing the content offline. If you can test it on a web server you are likely going to have better results. One way to do this fairly easily is to use Dropbox. Here's a screencast outlining the process:

Rebecca,

Thanks for taking the time to do that!  Your steps were essentially the same as mine, so that was good to know, that I wasn’t just totally missing something.

Justin,

Thanks for the tip, that totally worked.  I always seem to forget that I need to test on a server if I publish to LMS settings!
