I am not sure I have heard that happening before…have you asked the LMS vendor what is causing it to happen? I hate to be the guy that suggests asking the other party, but I can’t think of anything we are doing that would cause that…

The only real configurable place in our configuration.js that does anything with the exit behavior is this line:
var EXIT_BEHAVIOR = “SCORM_RECOMMENDED”;

You could try changing that to one of the other values:
//used to control window closing behavior on call of ConcedeControl
//Possible Values: SCORM_RECOMMENDED, ALWAYS_CLOSE, ALWAYS_CLOSE_TOP, NOTHING, REDIR_CONTENT_FRAME, LMS_SPECIFIED_REDIRECT

But that is just a serious shot in the dark…

If you are using Articulate Studio ’09 you can use slide level FLV without the need to use this workaround…all you need to do is insert the video. We actually even support MP4 now.

With MP4 and FLV there is no frame limit.

Design Tips &/or Examples Appreciated

I am about to begin working on a WBT to deliver the 8 five minute videos using Articulate/Engage. The videos will be FLV files.

Any design tips or examples for good layouts, navigation etc.?

Requirements:
Users must view all videos to be consider “Complete”
User must be able to exit after 2 videos and return to complete the remaining videos therefore, perhaps bookmarking may be used
.

Any advice will be helpful!

Actually, I can’t quite remember what I selected when I created this. I think either should work.

What you can do to correct the slide time problem is insert silent audio via the Timeline Audio Editor, and insert enough silence to make the slide time match that of the inserted movie.

When it is set to “play it with the slide in sync” does it not automatically advance after the movie is done?

Another question – in your instructions, in step 10 you say to select “Play Flash movie and slide in sync”, but then under Limitations, you put that the Slide must be set to “Play Flash movie after slide has begun”. Which one is it?

WHen I choose to play it with the slide in sync, it plays but the seekbar goes for 5 seconds and then says to click next to continue (even though the movie is still playing. When I choose to Play the Flash movie after the slide has begun, the movie starts to play, but then stops when the seek bar gets to the end 5(5 seconds).

What am I doing wrong?

Unfortunately I don’t have any fix for that. Whenever you publish from Articulate Presenter it will clear the output folder, so based on the current version of Articulate Presenter I can’t do anything to change that functionality.

Sorry

This is great – it will come to great use as I don’t have Flash, but have FLV videos I need to incorporate.

Following up on Phil’s post a while back – is there a “fix” for not having to redo the xml files and recopy the FLV files into the Player folder each time you republish?

Thanks,
Leslie

Thanks.
