We published all our courses in both SWF and HTML5 in anticipation of FLASH disappearing. The SWF&HTML5 courses don’t work in EDGE or Chrome. I found a forum that discussed how courses weren’t working in Chrome that were published with both. Is EDGE the same way? When FLASH disappears all together will they finally work? It seems as though one of the Microsoft IE updates chases our employees to EDGE. We are looking at converting all of the near 1,000 courses to HTML5 only. This is daunting. Advice?
Edge has never supported SWF output, for Chrome you have to set it up. Moreover since a couple of versions the dual publishing to SWF and HTML5 output (using the multiscreen.html) is buggy, since the team – logically – has focus on HTML5 output at this moment and the difference in output has become significant. As Gaanf pointed out SWF is automatically the choice for desktop/laptop. If you still want SWF output, publish it separately and give the learner the opportunity to choose eventually for SWF.
If you publish a course as hybrid Flash/ HTML5, it will always attempt to play the Flash course on any desktop computer. On desktop browsers without Flash support it won’t fall back to HTML, but simply not work.
Anyway, since you publish to Flash/ HTML5 now, doesn’t that mean that your courses are HTML5-ready already? If that’s so there’s no need to convert your courses; just re-publish as HTML5 only.
