I've seen a bunch of posts on this, all mention renaming the index.html, however when I try uploading it says "content type not supported". I even tried uploading individual .SWF files (which load fine in a regular browser), but they're just blank inside the pods.
I'm not familiar with Adobe Connect pods, but are you uploading the entire contents of the published output folder or just looking to use one file? The entire contents and structure of the published output folder will need to be posted to your web server or LMS - and hopefully others who utilize the Adobe Connect Pods will be able to chime in here with some additional ideas.
I've tried both: I've taken the entire published folder (zipped with the index file renamed as per other Storyline post recommendations) - this yields the error message "content type not supported". My understanding is that these pods are supposed to be able to support SCORM packages. When you load Adobe Connect, there's actually a box that starts with an Adobe Captivate pre-loader progress bar which is used to display tooltips and other introductory information, so I'm sure any other type of SCORM package should also work.
When I try uploading only "story.swf", I just get a blank slide with a spinning timer.
You may want to reach out to them and see if they allow other SCORM types that are not created within Adobe. Storyline will need all the files to play successfully so you're experience with the story.swf file only is to be expected.
Alexander - Because you are trying to load the project into pods, it sounds as though you are trying to play your project during an Adobe meeting, is that right? Unfortunately, my understanding is that you can only load your storyline projects into adobe to be tracked (as an LMS), but not during a live meeting. See this article for an explanation.
Sorry! I have tried the same thing myself and was disappointed in Connect's limitation.
The articule mentions that it can't won't because it involves loading multiple files at a time (the zipped SCORM package). However, a web browser is able to play individual .SWF files (eg. story.swf); shouldn't the pods be able to at least play those?
