Hi heroes - I've just published a course to play on an ipad that utilizes lightbox slides. The lightbox opens but then the sound is delayed as well as some animations. Also, each slide layer within the the slide is shortened so you don't hear the end of the layer. Any thoughts on how I can fix this?
Are you viewing Flash (Articulate Mobile Player) or HTML5 (Safari) output on the iPad? Also, when you view the course on a desktop, do you see the same behavior?
What version of Storyline are you using to publish? To find this information click on Help >> About Articulate Storyline. If you're not already running Update 5, please download the update, install, and republish your project.
If you still have trouble, please share the URL for your published project and possibly the .story file. We could take a look and see what's going on.
Hi, yes I'm running on th emost recent update. And yes, these slides do work properly on the computer (except that the navigation controls don't show on the PC). This is being viewed and has been published as HTML5 and it lives in our LMS.
If I can't find a fix to this, I will just have them jump to the slides. I really liked the look of the lightbox, though. It's so disappointing when cool features are so hard to re-create in HTML5. I wish Articulate would step it's game up in this area!
Hi Carrie! This thread is a bit dated. Can you share what you are having difficulty with so that we can better understand and answer your question appropriately.
Experiencing delay in lightbox slide content (text/images) appearing/playing (audio) on PC. This was developed using Storyline 1. This occurs when the course is reviewed on Review My eLearning platform. Any guidance?
Hi Victoria! Do you experience the same behavior when you view your content in it's published environment? I'm not familiar with that platform to know expected behavior.
Depending on how you are publishing, you can test your web content on Tempshare or your LMS content on SCORM Cloud if needed.
We would want to take a look at your .story file to assist of course.
Hi Leslie - thanks for your reply. To load a course for review in RME it is published to SCORM.
I also asked our contractors who also use RME for reviewing courses. One of then indicated there is a potential for network lag time, especially if it's a very big course.
We're asking the stakeholders to consider splitting this course into two modules because it's a lot of information to absorb in one sitting to begin with, while hoping this will also help with this lightbox delay issue by decreasing the size of the file.
I'll test it in SCORM Cloud to see if it acts the same there. Thanks!

To add to Christine's invaluable advice, you can recreate a lightbox somehow by using layers as an alternative.
Hope this helps,
Alex

Hi Lauren,
I completely agree - I love lightboxes! Alex's idea may be pretty perfect for you, if that's the case.
In the meantime, you're always welcome to share the file if you'd like us to check it out.
Best of luck!
Christine
Has this been resolved with the new update?

Perfect. Thanks for the explanation of the platform and let me know if you need me to take a look after checking in SCORM Cloud.
You're welcome and will do. Thank you for offering. :)
