Can anyone tell me why, when I publish an SL3 file to CD format, I sometimes get the Flash version output files, which includes the story.html and story_flash.html files? I can then immediately publish again, not changing anything, and I get the HTML5 output files (with story.html and story_html5.html files instead).
Yes...very odd. I have the latest update. I've been testing this on several files and it's definitely happening consistently (Flash output one time. HTML5 another time.).
I can send you an example file. Can I send that to you directly? The material isn't sensitive but it would probably be best not to post it publicly.
Hi there, Doug! I saw the same thing with your test file. It looks like you've upgraded this file from Storyline 2. Right now, we have an issue where upgrading a file from Storyline 2 to Storyline 3 will include Flash output on the first publish if you haven't saved your project immediately after the upgrade. Upon publishing again, with only changing the title of the output, the HTML5 output will display.
I saved my upgraded file, reopened it, and when I published it with the slightly different title in the publishing window, I got HTML5 output consistently going forward. I hope that workaround helps!
We do have this logged as a bug, so I'll tag this discussion to be updated with any changes. I'm sorry for the confusion!

Hi Doug,
That's definitely odd - and not something I have replicated yet in my own instance of Storyline 3. Are you using Update 4 of Storyline 3?
Could you share a copy of this file so that I could test that out?

Hi Doug,
Absolutely. You can upload it to me here. Once I have that I can respond to you via email as well and share my test results.

Thanks, Crystal! That's so good to know. Now I have a solution going forward. I'll keep my eyes open for the bug fix too.
Appreciate all your help!
