Proud owner of a Storyline License. Thanks for the great product, Articulate !Anyway, I just uploaded a test/course to my server. When I try to view the course (Chrome on my Laptop) the URL reads (coursename).ioslaunch.html (see image below) and the course won't open. Seems like it's looking for the player. I published the course for html5 and mobile. Any ideas?

Hi Al,
Are you linking to the story.html file when you view the course? If so, do you have a link that I can test?
Al. Brian is saying you need to link to the story.html not the individual launchers. this will decide which version is loaded. If you have flash, then it will always choose flash (best) the Ipad Ipad followed by html5.
They have optimised it for chrome and iOS but I dont believe the iOS launcher will ever work in chrome
Hi Al,
There's three ways to publish a Storyline project: Flash, HTML5 and iOS
Hope that helps!
In summary, you should always link to the story.html file. This file automagically handles the redirection to the correct file. For more information, see the link below:

Automagically even!
That would be them unicorn horns
OK. So here's what's happening. I had my client upload a test file to a site on their server. There's no log in. When I click on the link to the course on their server (my laptop, Chrome and IE) I get the same screen as the pic I inserted above. When I test the link on my iPad the player fires up and everything works. I've created a course for this client before (in Lectora; I'll never open that tool again!) and it works on the iPad and in IE, Chrome etc no problem. Same server. I'm assuming the player needs to link to the .story file . . . so why won't the course open in Chrome as well?
Hi Al,
Do you have a link to the content that I can test?
My client is asking for the original.story file to be sent along with the zip. I 'm not sure what that is or what they are asking me for. I asked if it was a separate file and she said yes.
Hi Doreen
the file that you open and edit in Storyline before you publish is called the source file and has an extention of .story.
Hi Doreen! Looks like Wendy has you covered here.
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Thanks Wendy and Leslie! I figured it out after several tutorials and calls. I had sent my files to a folder instead of the "My Articulate Projects"
I appreciate you getting back to me. I felt so clueless and was stressing out. Good to know there's help in the land of learning and I am not alone!
Ah, glad you were able to find what you needed and thanks for popping in with an update :)
You are certainly not along here and you know just where to find us.
