Adobe 5.5 Add button to link to file

Hi  
I am revising a training in Adobe 5.5 (was working in Adobe 4 previously).    I am wondering how to link a file
to one of the slides using a button.   With Adobe Captivate 4 it was relatively easy.   But in 5.5 the button
does not appear to have a properties box to allow me to link the file.   Please can you provide me with instructions for this?
Thanks!
Sandra

Just add the button to the slide, select the button, and then look in the Properties tab > Action accordion.

  • How to add buttons with links to different pages in my flash document?

    Hi I created a template for my flash animation which is a simple content box and a scroll bar beside it.. Anyway at the top I also have 3 pages (they are currently just part of the png background image so they are not buttons of any sort).. My question is how can I make links to these different pages so when clicked in the flash animation they will just open normally like they would in like a website..
    I am a flash beginner so I'm not too technical with it... I don't know if I would have to create 3 seperate documents for my 3 pages or something else?
    Thanks!

    Do you expect the loaded SWF to load "into" the SWF that contains the buttons or are you expecting it to overwrite the existing SWF you're already in (similar to a web page)?
    Loading a SWF inside is pretty straight forward, as long as the SWF is on the same domain or the domain you're loading from has a crossdomain.xml policy allowing it and the SWF is set to publish with the networking sandbox:
    import flash.display.Loader;
    import flash.net.URLRequest; 
    import flash.events.Event;
    var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    // listen for completion
    myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleCompleteF);
    // usually add some IOErrorEvent or SecurityErrorEvent handlers here
    // button hook here
    myButtonInstanceName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadPageF);
    function loadPageF(e:MouseEvent):void
         // try to load
         try
              myLoader.load(new URLRequest('another.swf'));
         catch (e:*)
              // catch any error, trace it to flash IDE for debugging
              trace("Error loading SWF: " + e);
    function handleCompleteF(e:Event):void
         // success, add to display list
         addChild(myLoader);
    Season to taste, like moving the position of the Loader object. The Loader will contain the SWF in the .content property (e.g. myLoader.content) and is a display object so you can just add it directly to the display list.
    If you add a second button you can re-use the myLoader to .load() a different SWF, just point it to a new function. You could re-use the same function but you'd need to detect the different buttons (possibly via the .name property). I presume you might want to do "different things" when different pages are loaded so I'm assuming you'd probably use a different function rather than make a huge reused branching function.
    More info on Loader with sample code here:

  • Adobe reader not able to open links to files on FTP sites (10.1.3)

    Hi,
    After the recent Reader upgrade to 10.1.3, we are no longer to use the existing documentation that has hyperlinks to our company FTP site.
    The document is published using Adobe Acrobat 9.5.1, and the staff open the document using Reader 10.1.3.
    In reader when they click on the hyperlinks to the FTP files, the following error is shown:
    'Could not open the file: 'ftp://******(doc name)****.zip'
    In Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended - when you click on the hyperlinks you get this error;
    'This file is set to be launched by this PDF file. This is currently disallowed by your system administrator'
    Can someone please let me know how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    Hi Pat,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I'm confused at why this worked in March 2012, but not now (May 2012).
    Previously having a hyperlink in a document to download a ZIP file from a FTP site worked.
    I did take a look at forum you listed, but I couldn't work out how the document could help me to fix this situation.

    Thanks!

  • Adobe reader closes automatically while table entry is added by add button

    Hi Team,
    I am new in adobe form. I have developed an adobe interactive form using livecycle designer integrated with SAP. My form has a table and under that there is an add button. When the form is opened in adobe reader and  add button is clicked, I have written a javascript code which appends a new entry in the table above. Everything is fine upto here.
    Now when I keep on clicking the add button, new entries are created and table grows. But when the table populates the current page and grows to populate the next page, suddenly the adobe form closes. I think there is an inconsistancy happening as my configuration for the table or the subform wrapping the table and the add button is conflicting.
    Could you guys give me some advise on this. I can provide screenshots or the adobe document on request.
    Thanks,
    Mainak

    Hi,
    I would say you are definitely coming up against memory restrictions. There are a couple of posts by John Brinkman that I would recommend.
    First I would look at why the form is 6Mb and see if you can reduce this down. For example, select fonts that are already in Reader (like Myriad Pro) and then deselect Embed Fonts in the File > Form Properties > Save Options. Also do not embed images into the form. See:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2010/02/big_and_complex_forms.html.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2010/09/xdp-size-matters.html.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2009/11/linked_vs_embedded_template_im.html.
    Next look at your script. You mention loops, so check is your script efficient. For example, use xfa.resolveNodes() once outside of the loop, instead of xfa.resolveNode() inside the loop. Make sure that variables are declared. See:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2011/10/script-performance-exercise.html.
    http://assure.ly/kUP02y.
    Also check for any script that you have in events that fire frequently, like layout:ready event and comment these out. See.
    http://assure.ly/nB0Bvz.
    The dataset seems very large at 2Mb. Does this include image data? It may be that the user is interacting with the form, while it is still trying to process the XML and the loops.
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

  • Buttons within Flash won't open links or files in blank windows in IE 7!

    I have a bunch of flash files on my website that I use as
    menus. Some of these menus have buttons call links and files to be
    opened in a blank window but this won't seem to work in Internet
    Explorer 7. Are there any fixes to this problem?

    this is not a globaly known issue but probably a problem with
    the code you are using and/or some
    kind of popup blocker installed in your browser or security
    setting you have made. If it is a code
    issue we would need to see your pasted code at least to take
    a stab at it.

  • How do I add buttons/links in video

    Hello,
    I am new to editing video. I am looking to add a replay link and a go to url link once my movie plays through. I am using Flash CS3 pro. If someone could give me specific directions or direct me to a tutorial instructing me how to do this I would appreciate it very much.
    Thank you.
    Paul

    create two buttons, say urlBtn and replayBtn:
    replayBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,replayF);
    urlBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,urlF);
    function replayF(e:Event){
    flv.seek(0);  // where flv is your flvplayback component's instance name
    flv.play();
    function urlF(e:Event){
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http:www.adobe.com"));

  • Can submit buttons or links associated with post or get requests work on iPad's Adobe Reader?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to call a JSPs from a PDF file using submit buttons and links created dynamically in a Java (iText) code.
    All buttons and links work fine in my PC but no buttons or dynamically generated links work in my iPad (Adobe Reader 11.0.1).
    Could anyone please let me know in case a workaround exists for this problem?
    Thanks in advance,

    Michael,
    Thank you for your comment.
    I know it is not supported. But I’m wondering whether a workaround solution was implemented somewhere. I’m sure people are trying to submit PDF’s data or even the full documents from their iPads without sending them as an e-Mail's attachement.

  • Javascript buttons and links no longer work in Firefox after latest update

    Whenever I try to use a javascript button or link, nothing happens, I just get a message in the bottom bar such as: "javascript:window.close();" telling me what the command is, but when I click on it, nothing happens. I cannot close windows in social security or in any other program using javascript. This has happened since the last upgrade to Firefox 11. I even tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling (using the Mozilla instructions to '''completely''' remove Firefox) a fresh Firefox eleven, to no avail. I made sure javascript was completely enabled in tools/options/content

    I have a similar problem like this. I dont know what the deal is but since some type of either add on upgrade or firefox upgrade i get notifications to install flash when i try to launch anything from google music. I did everything you can think of including uninstalling, reinstalling both the add on "No Script" Firefox itself, ran several diagnostic programs to ensure it wasnt any type of malware, reinstalled Adobe Flash 11, Verified Java version. I even tried to play music from google music in IE8 and that worked so its clearly Mozilla and its add ons. I disabled No Script and Google Music miraculously started working fine. This is pretty irritating considering I do everything in my power to ensure I dont get hit with any type of malware, virus, spyware, etc and No Script is definitely an Add on i like to use for that very reason since Firefox no longer supports the Norton Web Tracker add on. Any fix for this foolishness would be great, thanks!!

  • Add buttons to quiz-slide? Captivate 7

    Hi there,
    I am really having a hard time trying to add buttons to a quiz-slide (fill in the blank).
    Is it really true, that there is no work-around? All I need to do, is to use the smart shapes/ image buttons, to link to other slides in the project.
    Anyone??
    Thanks, in advance

    Maybe this blog post could help, because it is not always that easy to have
    shape buttons on question/score slides. I encountered several small issues

  • Add button to unused space in JTableHeader

    I have modified my JTable so that I can have multiple rows of column headers. I did this by extending BasicTableHeaderUI. In my particular instance, the first column of the table will never have more than one row in the header (unlike other implementations of multi-row headers I have seen, my column headers don't automatically fill upwards to take up all usable space in the header). So, I have "unused" space in the header above the first column.
    I would like to put some buttons there that are relevant to the table, but so far every effort to do so has failed.
    In the SSCCE below I have created a very stripped down version of my TableHeaderUI. It doesn't contain any of the code to create multiple row headers, it just pushes down the standard column headers to create some space. I try adding a button to the rendererPane, but it doesn't show up. There is a commented out line that paints the button which does work in terms of showing the button, but that's probably not the right way to do this (and the button doesn't work anyway).
    So, why isn't the button showing up? Am I doing this the right way (i.e. adding the button within the UI)? Thanks in advance for you help.

    }

    Yes, I've seen similar links/posts about how to activate buttons in the header of a table, but those do it by adding listeners to the renderer. My buttons would be directly in the CellRendererPane that is the container for the table header. I would have thought that by putting the button directly in the Cell RendererPane that it would have nothing to do with the rest of the table header. CellRendererPane extends Container. Is it not possible to put a JButton in a Container? JFrame extends indirectly from Container and you can add buttons to that.

  • How can I add buttons that do different things to each row of an rpt result

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to figure out how to add buttons to each row of a report. Here is the scenario:
    report query returns a set of data that needs to be "approved". The options are "Append", "Replace", or "Reject" (I want to make the results look like so:)
    Person1 today blah, blah blah... Append button Replace button Reject button
    Person2 today blah, blah, blah... Append button Replace button Reject button
    PersonA today something, blah... Append button Replace button Reject button
    and so on.
    I'd like to set up the page so that there is an append, replace, reject button for each row returned by the report. So when the "Approver" clicks on the append button, something happens for that row, etc. How does one do this? So far I can only get the buttons to show up in the region. I also thought it might be possible to somehow turn the append, replace, reject text into links that called a plsql proceedure that would handle the action, but I'm not having any success with that idea either.
    Edited by: user10361829 on Sep 29, 2009 12:10 PM

    What I've done is make my report query as follows:
    select field_a, field_b, field_c, 'Append', 'Replace', 'Reject'
    from table_x
    where field y = :PX_ID
    That gives me the words (append, replace, reject) in the report. Then I go to the report attributes section and make a link out of the columns (append, replace, reject) so far, so good.
    Next question is how to make clicking on those links activate an update action on tableN. In the column_link section there is a box marked "Request" that looks like it might be relevant because Request is a term connected to buttons, but I've no idea how to use it. Or, can one use the tabluar form element section of the report attributes page to connect the Append (pseudo column) to an action? I've looked at your example (Sam) with the delete button, but what I really need to see is the Apex menu that sets it up because there are so many levels in the interface it is not intuitive (at least for me). I know exactly what I want it to look like but I'm missing the crucial step to get there... Thanks for your help so far.
    Column link section is described below :
    Column Link     Top
    Link Text      flashlight          
         [*Append*][Icon 1][Icon 2][Icon 3][Icon 4][Icon 5]
    Link Attributes      
    Target: *"Page in this application"*     Page: *10*     
    Reset Pagination
    Request Clear Cache      
    Name     Value
    Item 1      Px_page_item flashlight *#????#*          flashlight
