Opening Articulate SL for the first time, Flash Player issues
Jan 26, 2015
Hello everyone, I am a new member and am as keen as mustard to learn all I can about the Articulate Storyline e-learning design package. The company I work for have given me a USB flash key with the application on it. I have downloaded it to my laptop, but every time I try to open Articulate from the icon on the desktop, a message box appears saying that I need to install Flash player 10 or later. I click install and the Adobe site tells me that I do not need to install because the Lenovo ideapad Z400 has Windows 8 preinstalled. I am totally confused, my machine is running version 16.1 of Flash Player, but still Articulate will not allow me to open. I have checked Manage Add-ons and Shockwave Flash 32bit is enabled on my laptop. Can anyone out there help me to just get this issue corrected so that I can start learning to use this application.
Thanks a lot, Dan in the UAE

HI Dan,
It's possible they gave you a version that was prior to an update that fixed an issue with Flash Player 16. I'm guessing you have Storyline 2 - if so you'll want to download the update here. If you have Storyline 1, you'll need the update available here.
Hello Dan!
Welcome to the community! This issue was addressed in Update 3 of Storyline. You can download the latest update here.
Hi, I have DL the trail version of Articulate SL 2, but I have actually been given SL 1 by my company. This is the version that will open due to the Flash Player.
Hi Dan,
You can download the update to Storyline 1, available here.
Thanks, the updates seemed to work on SL 1 and 2. I was also wondering if there is a glossary of all the terms used in SL. I am watching the beginners tutorial and I am not 100% sure on what each term refers to. When I was learning to video edit I had a glossary of all editing terms such as, jump-cut, roll end, de-interlace ext that explained what these terms meant and when they effect was. Do you guys have a PDF or page of terms that I could use to help me get started? Thanks
HI Dan,
There isn't a glossary of all terms - but you may want to review the more indepth tutorials here. Also, there is an article about the definitions and behaviors of the built in states here.
Cool. OK, last question of the evening. How much does SL2 cost to purchase once the 30 day trail expires?
Hi Dan,
You can find pricing information here in regards to Storyline, and you're welcome to connect with our Sales team for any specifics.
