Importing XML player has wrong colours
Hi all, Just want to check that I'm interpreting the way Storyline handles XML files correctly for the player. The problem: A customised Storyline template was created. The player settings have ...
Hi Luciana,
I can confirm this is what happens. If I use the storyline template file that opens a new untitled storyline project, it's all fine. If I open/copy and then open the storyline file that references the template it's fine.
If I open a new storyline project, with no template chosen (i.e. out of the box, everything is default), and import or open the player XML, that's where the behaviour occurs.
It's not a big issue, as I share the template around and the player settings are correct there, it was just something I encountered when checking it in file that does not have the template applied.
I cannot upload XML files to the forums as per the forum guidelines/restrictions.
Hi SamBarnard-98a4!
Glad to see Luciana has been helping you! Happy to jump in here!
I tried to replicate the behavior you shared with a sample Storyline project, but was unable to. After setting the Player to custom color code #005461, exporting the XML, and importing it into a new course, the color code remained accurate. Below is a screenshot of the custom Player after the XML file was imported to a blank course.
As Luciana shared, it would be helpful to see a copy of the XML file that's giving you trouble. You can upload that to our team privately, through a support case.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
