Browser right-click interferes wtih software demo
Apr 19, 2014

I am using Storyline to for a software demo, using the Record Screen feature. Part of my software demo includes using the right-click to open context menus. This works great when I preview the slides.
My problem is that when I publish, the browser (Firefox) has its own right-click menu when someone clicks on a Flash object. So the trigger never fires in the published course. Instead a menu pops up from the browser when I right-click.
I've attached a .story showing the problem Preview works great. Is there a work-around to get a right-click to work in a published course?

I assume you are testing this locally? I noticed too that when you run a web-published project locally, right-clicks do not work in Firefox and Chrome. However, when you upload your published content to a server it will work. See here, your file running on my server; the right-click works for me in IE11,FF26 and Chrome34.
Thank you! Testing this now...
Yes, my right-click works perfectly when loaded to dropbox. Thanks, Michael.
Hi Guys,
I know this thread is bit old but I'm having the same issue even with the 'Demo-story' file above.
I noticed that the demo file is in Storyline 1, has anyone found a suitable fix for this in Storyline 2?
Many thanks in advance,
Paul
Hi Paul!
Are you publishing the content as indicated above? Have you tried to open/upgrade the file in Storyline 2? Any content from Storyline 1 can be opened in Storyline 2.
I have found one small hack for this. Edit your HTML5 story file and add : oncontextmenu="return false" in the body tag. Launch and check.
Thanks for sharing Sanket - this thread is a bit dated, but it could certainly help someone that runs across it in the future.
