When I publish to HTML5, the result still includes a flash file. Isn't all the talk about HTML5 centered around the "obsolescence" of Flash? I thought publishing to HTML5 would give me groovy canvases, etc. I guess my question is: If publishing to HTML5 still means I have to have and use an SWF ... what's the point?
Storyline content will still include the flash files, and based on how your users are accessing the course - Storyline will determine which version to show them. If you'd prefer to ensure that they access the HTML5 version you can point directly to the story_html5.html file within your published output - and you'll just want to remind users to access the course through a supported HTML5 browser.
I know Flash can export as HTML5/JS ... is there any way to import that into Storyline? I desperately want to use some animation, etc. that is beyond Storyline's capabilities that is tiny in file size, includes transparency, etc.
Any suggestions for getting Flash content into Storyline?
At first, I rejected the "Web Object" route because I thought it was just a link to a file stored elsewhere, but, if I'm understanding this correctly, this method embeds all that HTML5/JS stuff into the Storyline project so when I publish for LMS, it's all still in one package? If so, that would really rock. I'll start experimenting while I wait for your confirmation--thanks!
I tried using "Web Object" and, after it failed (worked fine locally, but not on the LMS), did some more Googling. It seems that "Inserting a Web Object" doesn't embed the content but just links to it so the HTML/JS has to be uploaded to the server/LMS separately. Am I correct?
I haven't heard that the web object would have to be uploaded to the same server/LMS - but it does need to exist somewhere on a web accessible site. Have you just linked to it locally?

HI Jay and welcome to Heroes!

Hope that helps!

I don't know if that would work for you, but you could try displaying an HTML5/JS based animation inside a Storyline webobject.
Hi Jay! Looks like Michael has popped in to assist and hopefully others will be able to share their suggestions as well.
