Hi Davies

Spitting really would not have much effect, articulate only loads three slides ahead.

You can get a preloader at elearning enhanced, but you could also look at compressing the videos, using the media server, reducing the audio quality

I would also look at ensuring that you do not have consecutive flash movies to give articulate a chance to catch up with you.  Articulate will not load the flash video until you reach the slide so the preloader is really a must if bandwidth is an issue

this is the preloader i would use http://elearningenhanced.com/products/bulk-articulate-preloader

Does anyone know how I would use this preloader when my course is published to the  Articulate Online service?


I just found a a solution posted by Jeanette Brooks discussing a manual upload proceedure where you can edit the content and then upload to the service - see "ManuallyUploading Your Content to Articulate Online
