Player Menu

Oct 14, 2013

Hello. I was hoping to get help with the menu items in the player. For some reason in my lesson, the titles of the scenes and slides are not appearing in the menu for easy navigation. There are six scenes all together, and only two scenes, the intro and the final scene, appears in the menu. Any suggestions?

Hi Namrata,

I understand you're having some trouble with your slides displaying in the menu. Sounds like you have a total of 28 slides, but only 13 are listed. Is that correct?

First, please make sure that you're working with a local project file when you modify or publish your project. If you're working on a network drive, or any other external storage, that might be causing the trouble. 

  • Work on your local drive (your C: drive). Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, including file corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior. 
  • You should also make sure the directory path to your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters (for example C:\Articulate).
  • Avoid using special characters, accents or symbols in your file names (this includes spaces and underscores).

Additional information regarding "Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces" in Windows operating systems can be found in the following Microsoft article.

Please make sure you're running the most recent version of Storyline. Articulate Storyline Update 5 includes bug fixes, performance improvements, and HTML5 output enhancements. Click here for details.

It may also help to import your current project into a new, blank, Storyline file. This should resolve any issues of corruption. Here's how.

If you still have trouble with this, please share your .story file. You can do this by clicking on the paperclip in your response. If the file is too large to attach, or if you'd like to keep the file private, please let me know. 

Thanks!
