Button link doesn't open after publishing

Hello,
I am trying to put a link into my Captivate project so that users can access our homepage. From what I can tell, the only way to do this is to create a button that opens to a URL. Great, except when the project is published, the link doesn't work.
I've seen the blog post about adjusting the Flash settings to allow access to the site but my questions are: 1) wouldn't you have to adjust these settings on every computer on the user's end? our tutorial is intended for thousands of off campus college students, so this won't work for us. 2) how can you adjust the setting if the Flash error box doesn't appear?
Is there another way to add a link in Captivate that I'm not aware of?
Thanks!
Beth

Hi Beth
Where will the Captivate content be accessed from when the college students view it?
If your answer is to say "Why from our web server, you silly man!". That's the answer I was hoping to hear. Once content is accessed from a server the Flash is in a "safe" zone and the issue doesn't happen. It only happens if you provide the content via CD or otherwise and folks access by running it from their local C drives.
Cheers... Rick

CFolders link doesn't appear after publishing/saving the RFx

Hi experts,
When an RFx is created and documents are added through cFolders in 'Notes And Attachments' tab in the 'Collaboration' section, the link that is created for cFolder is not visible after publishing it. The links are not visible even after saving it and refreshing it. It says "No collaboration has yet been created" even though there is one created in the backend.
Can you please throw some valuable suggestions on how to proceed further?
Thanks

Hi Deepak,
Did you find any solution on this?

File, Send link doesn't open a new email. Using Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and W7 default email program. On the About:config page network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) "default Boolean true".

File, Send link doesn’t open a new email. Running Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and the W7 default email program. On the About:config page, network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) “default Boolean true”.

I assume you have tried toggling the setting in Firefox between Outlook and, say, Gmail:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause for the list to filter.
Change the setting and OK to save it, then return to the dialog, change back, and OK again.
You also might want to toggle the setting at the OS level between Microsoft Outlook and the native Windows Mail client in a similar fashion. In Windows XP you could use IE's Options dialog, Programs tab, for this, but I'm not sure in Windows 7.
Since one possibility is a problem in your Firefox settings (including the possibility of interfering add-ons), and another is a problem at the Windows level (e.g., Registry settings), it would be useful to try to identify which one it is. One quick way to distinguish is to create a new Firefox profile. It will start up with all factory settings. You can switch back to your existing profile after testing.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
After closing Firefox, start up again in the Profile Manager as described in this article: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
With the new profile, can Firefox successfully create a message in Outlook?

Did you do a restart or a reset?
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
If that didn't help, you have to write to/wait for the developer to update the software.

Hi,
Install the v10.6.6 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.6. The combo includes fixes that were not included in the original update.

Restart your Mac and try the MAS again.
You can download apps directly from the MAS once you have it running.
Considering the TM backup took so long, make sure there's enough space on your Mac startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*

Safari doesn't open after i updated it to 1.6.8

Safari doesn't open after i updated it to 1.6.8

Reinstall Safari 5.1.2
Then restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, you may have a third party add on that was compatible with the prior version of Snow Leopard, but not 10.6.8.
Troubleshooting help here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
And try Safari in another user account. If you can't open Safari there as well, that's an indication the startup disk may need repairing.
Log back in to your admin account, launch Disk Utility. That's located in /Applications/Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)

Link won't open after upgrading to version 3.1

Link doesn't open in Safari version3.1
But it works "Open Link in New Tap." why is that?

I have the same problem. Tried to disable popupblocker, no change of behaviour. Tried to disable the adblock addon, no change in behaviour.
The rightclick and open in new tab/window only work for direct links. When the link is pointing to a java script that is supposed to open a new window, nothing works...

HELP-URL will not open after publishing!

Please help me. I've read every forum discussion on this
topic and still cannot get the web site to open after I publish and
view in browser.
I've used the drop down option and chose New and DE-selected
the Continue playing option and still nothing.
At the top I am enter the On Success and Open URL or file,
then I enter the web address. I allow infinite attempts and on the
Options tab i tried selecting and deselecting the pause until user
clicks option and neither works.
Can anyone please help me?! This project was due hours ago
and this is the only glitch I could not fix.
Is it the Next button- I removed the pause until user clicks
and made it jump to next slide. :-{ I just don't know.
Cheryl

Hi Cheryl
If you were to post this to a web server and test from there,
I'd bet the URL works dandy. You are probably only seeing the issue
on your PC.

ITunes doesn't open after the first time

Hi, my iTunes after the last upgrading doesn't open. Really it open the first time after starting pc then , when i shut down it seems frozen. Could you help me? Do you ave a solution?

Try following steps and test one at a time:
1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

Network and 'file:///' links do not open after upd...

In older versions of Skype we could use links like:
file:///C:/Users/Dmitry/Pictures/CloudShot/shot_150228_130027.png
\\m1fsg1.msk\share\AT\F1\ScreenShots\shot_150227_172758.jpg
After major update (version with new UI) these links doesn't anymore =(
'file:\\\' links are not even highlighted anymore, netwok links are highligted but not working either. See image below with URL samples:
Is there soluiton for that?

Possibly a result of using a different home page, I use my own home page and have not seen any difference in regards links opening within the same tab, another tab, or another window in conversion from Firefox 3.6.17 to Firefox 4.0.1
Generally you would have your Tools > Options > Tabs set up to open New Windows in New Tabs instead. You would have Google open links in a New Window which equates then to a new tab (but the same new tab each time).
You can change your settings for Google searches at the top of a Google search results page "Search Settings". Stored in cookies or at Google, you may have to set up separately for logged in and not logged in to Google.
Did you have extensions to work with Google, they may not work anymore, check them out carefully. "Google Optimizer", "Optimize Google" both no good to me, but I can use "Google Enhancer" and "Adblock Plus" to do what those did for me.
These are options for Tabs that I have that differ from the default,
* |browser.tabs.closeButtons| 3|
* |browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab| false|
* |browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent| false|
* |browser.tabs.loadFolderAndReplace| false|
* |browser.tabs.loadGroup| 0|
* |browser.tabs.loadInBackground| false|
* |browser.tabs.loadOnNewTab| 1|
* |browser.tabs.openinnewtab| true
* |browser.tabs.tabClipWidth| 5|
* |browser.tabs.tabMinWidth| 0|

PDF-Portfolio: link doesn't open a document in a new window

Hello,
i use Acrobat 9 Pro on Win XP SP3.
I will use a link from a maindocument into a PDF-portfolio to another Portfolio document in the same file.
But the (linked) document should be open in a new window.
I can customize the option: targetdocument open in a new window, but this option/function doesn't work.
The document will always open in the same portfolio-window.
(Create link with link tool>add action>go to a page view in another doc> set link> edit action> open targetdocument in: a new window)
sorry, for the description, but i have only the german GUI.
Is there a change to use a JavaScript in the link?
Thanks for response, maikro.

Check if this KB might be of any help:

Thanks!

Holding ctrl when clicking a link doesn't open it in a new tab; does nothing

When I try to open a link in a new tab by holding down ctrl while clicking, it does nothing. Doesn't open at all. Have tried restarting in safe mode with add-ons disabled and had no joy.
Also getting no menu when using right click, also tried in safe mode, also nothing.

Should add that holding ctrl works from the bookmarks toolbar, just not in webpages themselves
