Structure of the published files

Dec 07, 2012

Hi,

I have my own proprietary LMS, which I believe, is not the same as any other standard systems.  My current .swf content will have its associated xml, mp3 and flv files, which are located in their respective folders.  I've noticed that after publishing the content on Storyline, apart from the swf file, there is also an xml file sitting on the same level as where the swf file is, while the rest of the media and other components are in the "story_content" folder. 

I'm wondering if I could manipulate the file structure a little bit; for example changing the "story_content" folder into a different name; change the referred sound files from, say" 5p1UcNsLgcN_22050_48.mp3"  to "apple.mp3", which is readily available on the "audio" folder in my LMS; or move the sound files and/or image files to different folders, for instance.

This feature is very important to me since it will allow the published swf lesson to "link" with the media files, which are already existing on the system. This is to ensure the standard of the system as well as to avoid duplication of the files.

I'd really appreciate if you could help me out with this issue.

thank you.

Hi Nai,

Instead of embedding your media, why don't you reference them as web objects.

Your LMS will surely be on a webserver, so when all your your MP3, flv files... will also be on that server. As an advantage to embedding your media in SL, you can alter it without having to re-publish SL

Would that be an option ?

Cheers
