In Slide Web Objects Not Working
We've been getting comments from our users that embedded web objects that had previously worked now do not. Specifically, the web objects were typically displayed in slide by a lesson built using Studio and Storyline and usually consists of an interactive activity built in Storyline and hosted on our web site. When we host the lesson on our web site, the in slide web object plays just fine. When the lesson is hosted on our LMS, the content does not play (We get the "refused to connect" error message).
I have been doing some testing, reading articles, etc., and that led me to use the test link feature in the Web Object tool. In many cases, I got the message indicating the web object would not load in slide. However, I tried some random web sites to get one that would work when tested. When I found one that appeared to work (CNN's web site), I then used that as the URL just to see if it would work. When I uploaded the prototype slide for testing, I got the same "refused to connect" error message.
Here's my question: What is prohibiting the web object from loading? Is it the web server with the content I'm trying to embed or is it the web site that hosts my published lesson. I assume it is the former, but I wanted to make sure because it's been difficult to find a thread on-line that discusses my specific situation.
