I want to design an electronic magazine using storyline because I have something like a competition so I want to know how can I run storyline automatically when I send it to those who are going to choose the best magazine????? Thanks. Waiting for you help
In terms of running Storyline automatically, are you referring to advancing the slides automatically you can set the slides to advance automatically instead of by user. This is a setting within your slide properties.
I don't ask about running slides automatically. When I publish storyline , there are alot of files inside the folder so when I send my magazine , that I used storyline to design it , to those who are going to choose the best magazine they will not be able to know which file to open so I want to put it on a CD and I want storyline to run automatically when they insert the CD . I hope I could help you to understand my problem. Thanks and waiting for your help.
You'll need all the files that are included in the published output on your CD for users to be able to play the content. The Launch_story.exe file is the file that should be used to run your course, and there's also an autorun.inf file in CD-published output that lets your course automatically launch when it's burned to a CD and played on a Windows PC.
If your course doesn't autorun as expected, make sure the published output is burned to the root of the CD, not a folder on the CD.
If your course still won't autoplay, see these Microsoft articles for solutions:

By the way, if you are still looking for some inspiration, there was an eLearning challenge recently about designing e-magazines. See here: https://community.articulate.com/articles/interactive-magazines-elearning
