StoryLine and Macs...having problems
By
Robert Brown
So..I just gave our legal department a snazzy e-learning quiz done in Storyline. I published a CD version to a flash thumb drive. It looked and worked great on PC's, but not on a Mac. Eventually this will be posted on our LMS.
1) Why will the CD version NOT work with a Mac. Will the LMS version work on both PC and Mac platforms?
I'm anxiously awaiting your reply!
Thank you.

Hi Robert, not sure about the CD version, but you won't get this problem with your LMS version just because you are accessing from a Mac.
Hi Robert -
I'm guessing the issue has to do with a Flash security error. The published story.html file doesn't require a specific platform.
Can you share more around the type of error you're seeing?
Robert - Here's a tech note that goes into more detail: http://www.articulate.com/support/kb_article.php?product=ap9&id=g5k9wuk865ej
Can you also try copying the presentation over to your Mac desktop and try running it that way? If Flash security is preventing the course from running, you'll want to update your global security settings from Adobe's site: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html

The CD version runs on a Windows EXE. You should be able to run the html file from a Mac. The LMS and Web versions run great for me through Safari, Firefox and Chrome on a Mac.
Thank you all. I'm waiting to hear back from our executive re accessing via the html. That said, I believe this will eliminate the issue. If I learn otherwise, I will repost. Again, thank you!
