Embedding story.html into another HTML file via iframe (jumping)

Hi Kevin,

I have the same experience.  Steve Flowers suggested an iFrame, but iFrames didn't solve the problem for me either.  (Here's my post:  http://community.articulate.com/forums/p/18776/104982.aspx#104982 )

It would wonderful if anyone had some insight on this one.

Any one got a URL that shows this?  Just curious . . .

Sorry--it's proprietary, so no.  Kevin, can you please send one to Gerry if you have one?

Hi Gerry & Karen,

I recorded a Screenr for the Articulate support folks last week that showed how IE jumps the page down to bring focus to the iframed Storyline content.

The support person was able to replicate the issue. So they said they were going to look into it further and get back to me. 

Gerry, I'll send you a PM of the Screenr, since it is focused on content that hasn't been released yet. 

Thanks!    Have a client who may need this in the future.

Received word that they weren't able to find a solution and have passed it along to the quality assurance team.  My guess is there is something in the story.js file that tells IE to reposition the content when the page loads. 

Thank you for pursuing it, Kevin.

We received the following from Articulate support regarding what can be done to prevent IE from jumping the page down to a Storyline object that has been embedded in a longer HTML page with an iFrame.  We have commented out the code mentioned below in the story.js file, and tested in multiple browsers, with successful results.

--------------

This is caused by code to make keyboard commands function properly without needing to click on the swf. To disable this feature, you can comment out the following code in story.js: 

case "BW_RestoreFocus": 
var oPlayer = GetPlayer(); 
try 
{ 
oPlayer.tabIndex = 0; 
oPlayer.focus(); 
} 
catch (e) 
{ 
} 
break;" 

Hi,

Does anyone know if there are plans to incorporate this as part of the product?  Or do I still need to go through and edit every story.js file which is embedded via iFrame?

Thanks,

Karen

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but the code has changed to this is in the story.js file. The section of code to now comment out is as follows:

function SetPlayerFocus()
{
 var oPlayer = GetPlayer();

 try
 {
  oPlayer.tabIndex = 1;
  oPlayer.focus();
 }
 catch (e)
 {
 }
}

Thanks, hope someone finds this helpful

Thanks Kevin for sharing the code update - I'm certain it'll help others as they stumble across this thread especially as it's not something that our team can offer support around.
