I'm new to storyline and was hoping to watch several of your training tutorials on holiday on my kindle before starting my first project on my return home.
I can read all the text but where there is a gap for a video, it doesn't show. Is this because I'm viewing from tablet and not a PC???
I'm back home now and can view the tutorials on my PC and am really enjoying what I'm learning.
I'd still like to understand why I couldn't view them from my Kindle for future reference, but no urgency.
I'm sure I'll have lots more questions in next few weeks but the forum, downloads and tutorials are a great source of knowledge and inspiration. So much more help available that I ever found from my previous authoring tool.
I can't offer a proper 'techy' answer but I can share my views/findings.
Firstly, Kindles are not really tablet pcs, depending on what model you have they have much of the same functionality of a tablet pc but are largely a law unto themselves.
Secondly, the first generation Kindle Fire series (the one I have) does not support flash content when viewing through the default browser - this may well result in many videos not displaying correctly. To correct this on my kindle I had to insdtall and use a much earlier version of the browser.
Finally, just a note to add - SL does not officially support android devices due to the range on Android OSs around, to my knowledge Kindles use a specific set of OSs that most tablet pcs do not so it is unlikely that any content you develop or published demos you view will be stable on a Kindle device.
