I publish my beta versions out to my local machine so that it can go through a pilot testing before I publish it out to our main server. About 2 weeks ago the published output stopped loading in Chrome. I can only get it to load in FF or IE. Most of my testers use Chrome as their default browser, and it trips them up.
Is anyone else having this issue, and is there a fix on the horizon?
So this is the solution, and it works. I am concerned that my beta testers are not going to be able to run our programs as easily as they used to.
I may end up having to switch over to a packager or some other method that allows them to download, unzip, and launch the training without having to do all of these steps.
I'd agree with Michael's suggestions and depending on your final destination for the published output I'd look at the web options and and the options for hosting your published output listed here.
It's proprietary information, and we are global team. One of aspects we liked about Storyline was that I could create this in the U.S., upload it to our shared server, and send the download link out to our global reviewers in Europe, Asia, and India for immediate review.
I'm not going to be able to get approval to store the content outside of our approved system, and a CD would take days to ship around the world.
No need to ship the CDs, just publish as such and zip the published output. You can upload that to your shared server and I'd give instructions for reviewers to download that file and extract the contents to play it locally.
Yep. I usually create an entire download package with a review template, everything they need to catalog their edits, and "Click to launch this training" link. I move all of the course_content to a folder with instructions not to open it.
I was able to write a simple .bat file to re-create my "Click here to launch the training" link that I place in the main file they unzip. So to the end user.... the link icon changed and that's it.
What if someone is just getting the spinning wheel when viewing in Chrome, IE, and they are accessing the content via an LMS? I am able to play the content, but many others are getting the spinning wheel....thanks.

Do you know if they have Flash disabled in those browsers? Are you also accessing the content through your LMS? Also, what version of Storyline are you using?

Any suggestions?
Have you considered publishing for CD? Or upload your content to some webserver, like TempShare and send out the URL(s) to your testers.

That works. Thanks. I just tested it out.
I am under a deadline, and I was really scratching my head on how in the world our reviewers would be able to load this.
You ROCK!
No problem Steve - and glad that set up will work for you.

It's a happy day. Now to send out my projects. :)
Sounds like a unique, custom set up you've got going there - I'm sure the ease of it is something appreciated by your reviewers.
Happy day indeed - and hope that leads to a happy weekend soon as well!
