Free Form Drag and Drop not working in HTML5

Dec 26, 2012

I've been working on a course that uses simple free form Drag and Drop and Pick One interactions. And they don't play in HTML5.

Am I missing something... I've installed Update 2 and recreated each interaction just in case.

Good morning Andrew,

How are you viewing the HTML 5 content (browser, iPad, etc.)? Are you uploading the project to a web server or LMS before testing the content? If you view published Storyline content on your local hard drive or send it to someone else to view on their local hard drive, you'll encounter security restrictions from the computer, web browser, Flash Player, and network that'll cause various features of your content to fail.

To properly test your published content and share it with others, upload it to the environment for which it was published. Please review this article for details.
I've uploaded the course to Articulate Online for testing (I can remove this when we're done, if you'd like). You can see the content here
Let me know what environment you're using the view the content and I'll see if I experience the same problem.
Thanks Andrew!

Hi Andrew!

Thanks for getting back to me! With interactive content like your drag and drop free form, you may not be able to run it on Android. 

Here's some additional information:

Storyline content may work on some Android devices. However, Articulate does not officially support Android devices or browsers. Click here to review the system requirements for authoring and viewing Storyline content.

If you'd like to see official support for a particular mobile device, please submit a feature request to our product development team for review.
You might also want to check out this chart on comparing HTML5, Flash and Articulate Mobile Player output. 
There may be some alternatives you can try, however. You might want to take a look around the forums and see if any of the other community members have found a way to get this type of interaction to work on Android devices. 
Thanks again Andrew,
Christine
