When will a new mobile player be released?

Hello 

We were wondering when a updated mobile player might be released.  The current player does not meet our needs due to not being able to zoom, change orientation, fill the screen etc.

In the UK this week we have the learning technologies show and have been tasked with looking at mobile learning development tools.  Our managers have seen the Storyline player and were un-impressed with the limitations.

My colleagues and I have invested a great deal of work and personal time in learning Storyline, we feel it would be a real shame to let those Storyline skills lapse in favor of other tools.  

If you can provide any information on your roadmap for storyline / mobile player, or if you have anyone attending the Learning Technologies conference this week (Weds/Thurs), we'd really appreciate any information around Storyline on mobile devices.

Thanks

Jon

As much as I would love an updated player, you can already perform most of the tasks you mentioned, especially if you're going with a chromeless design.

Zooming is a, mostly polished, stock feature you can work with and customize fairly quickly. Orientation change would be a bit of a gimmick, and would certainly imply creating a new design for the alternate portrait view anyway.

As for full-screen functionality, there are various scripts out there that you can combine to achieve this, both for Flash and HTML5 versions of your courses, and they work flawlessly.

Just my 2c,
Alex
