Publishing in both Flash and HTML5

Are you still using SL2? Only Storyline 3 or 360 will publish the hTML5 only.

There is a script in the story.html to determine the best version for the browser being used.

In SL2 the only supported Browsers for the HTML5 content are Chrome on PC and Mac and Safari on Mac.

If you are using SL3 or 360 most modern browsers are supported in HTML5.

We recently upgraded from Storyline 2 to 3. I'm worried about all of those courses we published in "dual-mode" for several years in Storyline 2. I'm wondering if that script that decides which to present is smart enough to fall back to HTML5, even on browsers that historically used Flash. Looking at the code, it seems like all it does is find out if the user has an enabled Flash plug-in, and if not, it opens the HTML5 version. If so, that's a lot less work for me. 

Hi Michael, 

I also responded to your other question here:

Yes, Storyline will recognize that there isn't Flash and default to HTML5 - but with Storyline 2, IE wouldn't be a supported browser for HTML5 output. If ensuring that your users can access the HTML5 output across all browsers and devices is a primary focus for you, you may want to look at  the trial of Articulate 360 here. You can then see how easy it is to upgrade course into Storyline 360 and publish for HTML5 only. 

So I'm glad to hear you've upgraded to Storyline 3 for those HTML5 only courses! But as shared before, SL2 courses should recognize that there is no flash and then open the HTML5 version...as Phil mentioned and I shared in that other discussion there is limited HTML5 browser support in SL2, so you may want to look at republishing those courses in Storyline 3.
