Complex task build with SL2 not working propperly with html5 when published with SL3

Jun 19, 2018

I have build a complex task where learners position injection points and then choose the number of units they want to apply. Therefore you first have to drag the injection points (lower left corner) to the face and then press the Syringe to add Units.

The task is not working with html5 and I can't see why.

Hi there, Martin! Really sorry you're having trouble with the HTML5 output. I published your file to Web using the latest version of Storyline 3:

Here's a quick Peek of what I saw in Chrome. I started with the HTML5 output, where I didn't see the syringe icon appear after dragging the hand icon and finished with the Flash one, where I saw both icons and could continue on.

Really bizarre! I'd like to get another look on this and have shared my notes with our Support Engineers. They'll be in touch shortly – I'll also follow along and share all updates here, as needed!

Hi Katie,

thanks for your qick answer. I solved the problem.

When I first created the task in SL2, i set the trigger "User clicks..." to show the syringe. That work very well for flash but not for html5.

For Flash it seems to make no difference whether you press and then release the mouse button on an object or you click and then drag the object. Flash obviously accrepts the event of releasing the mouse button as "click", no matter wht you did wit the object before.

HTML5 seems to distinguish between Clicking an object (press and the release the mouse button) and dragging an object (1. press the mouse button, 2. move the mouse, 3. release the mouse button).

I added the trigger "Object dropped on..." and now it works as it should.
