Engage Interactions in Storyline 3

Ricardo,

Thank you for that and pointing me in the right direction. Very useful information without one having to go down numerous rabbit holes.

You are correct in that you have to publish using the HTML5 / Flash  or Flash / HTML options in order to view the Engage Interaction "Next Slide" button in Engage activities.

I'm using Engage files that were created using Studio 09 and Storyline 3 and upon further investigation I found the following to be true:

• if one publishes using HTML5 only, the "Next Slide" button is not available at all;
• publishing to HTML5 / Flash will only display the "Next Slide" button if you select and run the "story_flash.html" from the folder wherein the published files reside, it will not play when, or if, you select the View Project button after publishing, as I assume it loads the "story_html5.html" file by default; and
• if you publish using the Flash / HTML5 option the "Next Button" is displayed when using the View Project button after publishing as I assume that it loads the "story_flash.html" file by default.

Given the above observations it would appear that Engage files still require/contain Flash content in order to display properly.

However, that does not resolve my problem in that I'm converting 40+ tutorials from Flash to HTML5 as our customer's LMS will not support Flash in the future.

I'm running into other issues as well, the Engage files do not even display when I publish to HTML5 only. Not a good situation. I have raised a case number with the Articulate support team, but given all that I have read to date, I'm not expecting any immediate resolution, as this issue has persisted for years from what I can tell.

Take care and thanks again. Stay safe during these strange times.
