Embedding interactive web object in Rise
Hi, I'm currently doing an onboarding course for some employees and I would love to use a web object from our website.
http://soft-cells.com/acoustics/simulator
We have this interactive 'Acoustic Simulator' on the website and I was wondering if it is possible to embed the interactive web object in the Rise course using the Embed block? If I just use the URL it adds a link that opens the webpage in a new window which is not what I'm looking for.
If I use the iframe code <iframe src="https://soft-cells.com/acoustics/simulator"></iframe> it doesn't show at all - and I'm not really looking to embed the entire page but just the interactive simulator object. Is that possible? And if so, how?
Hi there, Morten. It sounds like you're following best practice here, and the site may not allow its content to be embedded in frames:
Success depends on whether or not the site you linked to allows their content to be embedded in frames. You might only see part of the content you’re trying to embed or you might not see any content at all!
I tried your URL and had the same results. If you haven't already, I'd reach out to the people who administer that interaction on your site to see if they can offer a way to embed it in the Rise 360 course. Good luck!

We (really) need the option to embed a web object from your local harddrive. I already made a feature request for this, but I really think that option needs to be there for everybody that uses Rise.
This could also be the solution for Morten Jacobsen. - PaulWijnen-5c1cCommunity Member
I see the question from Morten Jacobsen is already 1 year old, but I will say this anyway.
Iif you do have the separate files (folder) of that simulation web object, you can do the following.- Create a blank Storyline with matching dimensions (resolution) to the simulation web object
- Disable the User Interface completely
- Create 1 slide and place a web object in where you load the simulator files
- Publish to review 360
- In Rise, create an Interactive Storyline Block and load the review360 publication

Well, we create many courses. It would be allot of extra work and administration to separately upload web objects somewhere. By the way, what is S3?
Storyline also gives you that option, so why would Rise not do that?

S3 is an Amazon cloud hosting service. It's quite fast; much faster at loading WebGL than Articulate Review would be.
