"File Not Found" when I try to open publish/ zipped webfile

Nov 18, 2019

Hi there, 

I have made a Storyline file that is 95 slides long. When I publish it to Web, as I have to other files, it is too big to "email". I worked around it by saving the ZIP file to a shared drive at work, which also worked with other files... and sending instructions to a colleague for example to extract + open the story.html file
 BUT this particular 95 slide file (it is a branching e-learning course, with a try mode as the second half) each time says "File not Found" when trying to double click the Story.html file.

If anyone can give me any ideas as to why, or point me in the direction of how to resolve it, that would be great! 
I suspect it is due to file size, so of that is right, the second fold of this question is what can I cut out to most effectively reduce the file size; i.e video (most likely), then what??

Hi Tim,

You'll always want to make sure you’re viewing the course from your LMS and not on your local hard drive. Security restrictions from your computer, web browser, Flash Player, and network can interfere with the published output when it's viewed locally.
