When trying to view my published course, I get a Java Script error: Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. I've worked with my tech support for hours on this issue to no avail. We've changed the global settings, but this did not work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to show a preview of the course to the SMEs tomorrow.
I think we can help since this is a common Flash issue.
How will you show your course to your SME? Will it be published to a web server or will your SME open the files locally from the desktop?
The Flash error is related to Flash security settings on your desktop. If you want to resolve the security issues, you can follow these steps listed on Adobe's site:
4) Select the folder you want to use for your published course
If you're publishing your course to a web site or server, you don't need to worry about modifying the settings since the error you're seeing will only appear when you run from your local computer and not a web server.
Let me know how you plan on sharing your files and we'll help you resolve this.
Thanks for the speedy response. I'll share the files on the server to avoid any problems. I couldn't seem to resolve the Flash security issue from my desktop. I'll get back to you if I continue to have this issue. Thanks again.
I republished the course thinking that something may have gone awry during publishing. I've also tried your suggestion again about the Flash security settings, but it still does not work from my desktop. Tech support also cannot get the file to work when they changed the security settings.
I've attached the file for your review. Maybe you can shed some light on what is happening.
I was able to apply the settings and bypass the security warning (see attached). I only tried in Firefox, but the process should work the same for other browsers.
What browser are you using?
At this point, I think it might be best to submit a support ticket so we can take a closer look.
