Embedded videos and Web objects
Sep 11, 2013
Hi,
I have a weird problem with my storyline file. The file just has 3 slides, with one slide having a embedded youtube video in it. I have followed the same procedure as mentioned in the tutorial for embedding videos. When I preview the scene (say scene A), I can see the video playing but after I publish it, nothing appears on that particular slide.
I then opened a new storyfile and created one slide with the same embedded video and published it but got the same results. The video slide was blank.
The weird part is when I inserted the scene A in another storyfile that already had some scenes with embedded video, it worked just fine in the published version.
I am wondering now why my video refuses to play in its original file nor in a new storyfile.

Are you testing locally?, ideally you would publish to CD and the video should be visible, cross domain security will prevent embedded videos playing.
Thank you Phil for the quick response. Yes, I was testing it locally on the browser. Like I said it worked fine in one storyfile but not in the other file. My wonder is if it worked in one file why didnt it work in the other file.
Hi Sajna,
Viewing published content locally can cause unusual issues - and it's not necessarily the same each time. It's always best to test your published content within it's intended environment.
Thank you Ashley. I wasn't aware of Tempshare. It worked perfectly on tempshare.
One of my favorite ways to test. Glad you liked it too!
