Hi Shauna,
I don't have a ton of experience with this, but I am guessing that what is tripping you up is that you need to choose the Expand It option when you upload the zip file to Canvas, because Canvas can't work with the file if it is zipped up. The files have to be expanded (see the attached Expand It Screenshot), so that you can then locate the specific file you want the link to point to. I had to work through this one myself with a little trial and error. I can tell you from experience that you want to keep you file tree as shallow as possible: it will make it much easier to locate the file. For me, locating the correct file is the trickiest part. If you are still having trouble, feel free to contact me privately and maybe I can help you further.
Another issue I had was with the size of the player on Canvas not fully displaying the module once I published the link. To solve this issue, I choose "Scale player to fit browser window" in the dialog where you get to pick the browser settings. I attached a screen shot (Module Size Screenshot) for good measure. I don't know how people get the screenshots to display within their messages, that seems to be beyond my skills. :)
Best of luck,
Becky

Rebecca,
My name is Shauna Kay and I contacted you way back in February about
transferring Storyline to Canvas. I have finished creating all the
Storylines and now I am ready to put them into my Canvas class. Are you
able to help me with this? I remember trying it way back then and I messed
everything up.Thanks,
Shauna Kay
