Hello Everyone. 

I am doing this very thing with these very tools.

I have created storyline resource and published to web. I take these files and put them in Madcap Flare (Resources folder).  

When I build my project, I immediately notice that the build does not bring all the files across into the project output ... this of course does not work for the storyline course.

I recopy all the files back into the output and viola it all works as expected. 

What I am trying to research is WHY does the build process exclude a lot of the storyline published files? A mystery waiting to be solved.

Thank you all for "listening".  Hope a soution other than my work around appears and is shared around.

    Why did Madcap not copy all my Articulate Storyline files to the built project?

    The answer was in my build settings for that target.  I found this in the madcap forums
    Articulate Files in Flare - MadCap Software Forums

    The setting needed to be ... Target>Advanced>Content to Include>All Content

    This meant I needed to then go  through single sourceing as this content is for two intended uses and I have a number of targets and needed it to be excluded from some project builds.  

    However. I found my answer. Thank y'all.

      Hi Colin. Which Scorm type are you exporting your project from Storyline to? How are you tracking the user actions on the course in Madcap? Thanks.

        Hello Vipul

        I am just a simple user at this point so I am publishing my storyline to HTML. There is no recording of progress as I am using storyline as a simulation for the clients. It is the simplest way I can get there quickly with my "new" skills and timeframes.

        Iterative is my approach - next version is when I get time to do more research.

        Sorry I am not able to help. I would have used our LMS and published to SCORM but at this point it is a closed system and I need to get my "simulations" to external users from the organisation. (limited by the tools and my exposure to the tools at hand)

        I hope you find your path to a solution.

        regards, Colin
