HTML5 Loading problem

Jan 23, 2014

Hello,

When I launch my story.html5 file the first time after I've published it things aren't loading correctly. All I get is the frame that the content is supposed to play in. However I can see where my buttons for navigation are because my cursor changes to the hand icon. When I click one of these invisible buttons the course starts working just fine. If I close out the course and relaunch the course, even if I choose to not pick up where I left off then everything works great. Its just the first time I launch the course after I publish it. I've included a short video explaining my problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there Arron and welcome to the community!

Thanks for sharing the video :)

Right off the bat, I noticed you're viewing the HTML5 output files locally. That may be the problem. 

If you're viewing your published files locally, this may be the problem. If you view a published Storyline presentation 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 the article below for more information:

If you do not have access to a web server or LMS for testing, you could try using SCORM Cloud.

Another option would be to use our Tempshare server. Just keep in mind that this server is only available for testing content - it is not officially supported by Articulate and all content will be removed automatically after 10 days.

You're always welcome to try out Articulate Online, as well - it's available for a free 30 day trial.

Let me know if that helps! :)
