Publishing Articulate Storyline 1
Mar 20, 2015
Hi,
I am in the process of orienting myself to the Articulate Storyline product. In order to try it out, I recreated an old tutorial to see what I thought of Storyline's capabilities. When I tried publishing it however, I would have trouble viewing the swf file. After reading about how using USBs and public drives are not the way to go, I realized that the problem was most likely due to where I was publishing.
My questions are:
Where is a good place to publish (as I am also having trouble when I publish files to the desktop rather than to a folder)? One staff member mentioned publishing to a "local" file, can someone give an example?
Thank you,
Best Regards,
Katherine

Hi Katherine,
how do you start reviewing the training. Do you click on the story.html file or on the story.swf file? If you click on the story.swf and you have no flash-plugin on your machine it won't work. Try to start by clicking on the start.html.
"Publishing local" means that your savong destination folder should be on your hard drive. Usually when you the application Storyline wants to save the out in My Articulate Projects folder which is a good solution to start. The correct path is:
-> My documents
-> My Articulate Projects
Best regards

Hi Katherine,
I'd agree with Ralf's suggestions here in terms of what we mean by publishing locally - and you can read more about that here. When you're ready to test the content, you'll want to view it within the intended environment instead of testing it locally, as viewing it locally could cause you to encounter security restrictions from the computer, web browser, Flash Player, and network that'll cause various features of your content to fail. There are a few options in this article in regards to testing environments.
