Hello everyone. I have just upgraded from Storyline 2 to Storyline 3. In Storyline 2 I was able to publish to USB/CD and upload on a mini laptop. In Storyline 3 I am unable to do so or I'm doing something wrong. I also can't open stories in Storyline 2 that I've opened in Storyline 3.
In SL3, when you publish to CD, save it to a USB device, upload it to a laptop, and try to run it, what happens?
SL2 is not designed to open SL3 files. SL3 will open SL2 files, but it first makes a backup in SL2 format, then converts it to SL3 format and opens that version.
When I publish to CD and upload, I get a message that says "This course cannot be played because your web browser does not support HTML5". The laptap cannot access the internet and I didn't have issues with uploading from SL2 to CD to the laptop.
Where are you uploading the course? Also the CD output in Storyline 3/360 is now an HTML5 default (vs. SL2 which was Flash). What web browsers do you have installed?
Question: similar dilemma, why is that some of my courses, published to CD/.exe, do not default to also having the HTML5 output as well? (only showing the .html files that aren't working in current browsers at all.)
They seem to be courses first made in Storyline 2, or maybe even Storyline 1, but have been carried along over the years to our current Storyline 3.
I'm currently trying this in Storyline 3, with the latest update 3 build. One course I tested did have the html5 output in the published folder. Very odd.
Hi there Matt! Thanks for chiming in. Let me make sure I'm understanding what's going on here.
It sounds like you have older Storyline 1 and Storyline 2 files that you have recently upgraded to Storyline 3. Then, you published those Storyline 3 files for CD, and you found that some of those published outputs did not contain a HTML5 file. Is that correct?
If so, can you share one of those Storyline 3 files with me here?
Hello Alyssa, you're correct. Is there a private upload directly to you where I may attach the .story file rather than publicly here in this discussion?
