Hi DS,
I use a javascript call to do what you describe all the time.
Since I use this all the time I embed the actual full javascript in Captivate's "standard.js" file. This is the full script:
function openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features)
   window.open(theURL,winName,features);
I save the standard.js file. On my workstation this is the path to that file:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 5\Templates\Publish\standard.js
Now I can call the script anytime.
Here's how I configure the click-box:
If you look at Rick's picture (thanks Rick) in the Properties control menu under Action, for On Success, choose Execute Javascript.
Next Click the Script Window button, this opens up a blank window. Since you are just calling the javascript, you don't need to put the whole script in the window. Here is an example:
javascript:openBrWindow('myURL.html','thewindowname','height=800px,width=1000px,scrollbars =yes');
Ths example opens a window 800px tall and 1000 px wide with scrollbars. You can add additional attributes if you like. Make sure the URL is correct and has the correct path and if you have more that one of these on a slide the window name will need to be different. (If this persists from slide to slide you don't have to have them all as unique, only for more than one on a slide.
Now, click the little down arrow beside the Script Window button. This produces a little drop menu (as illustrated on Rick's image). Make sure you select "Top" and turn off the "Continue Playing the Project".
This control makes the newly spawned window appear on the top of the project and stops the playing of the slide. You can set other options in Properties to turn off or on captions as needed.
I hope this helps,
TPK
