Can an advanced action open an image in a seperate window?

I am wondering if this is possible.
I am using an advanced action to Show/Hide an image. I would like the image to open in its own window so the user can move it to compare the pop-up image with the other image and instructions on my slide. (I have a TOC so I have limited space on the slide.) I think the advanced action might be Execute JavaScript because that choice gives me the option to open in new window. I am not savvy with writing JavaScript so any help would be great.
Thanks
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
In order to open an image in its own window you can go to Properties > Action > On Success > Open URL or File, in the URL box type the name of the image and from the drop down select New.
After publishing the project, copy and paste the image in the output folder and then you can view the output, this will open the image on a new window.
I hope it helps.
Thanks
Vikas

When I use yahoo images and i open an image in a new window, it tweakes out firefox so that panes are distorted and exerything, the whole firefox browser looks like an F5 tornado took it apart and lumped it on my desktop... is this a known glitch?

When I use yahoo images and open an image in a new window, the page, once I click its tab causes the entire browser to scramble graphically, making it nearly impossible to navigate further. I right-clicked and selected close tab. That regains the visual clarity of the browser. But how can I fix this to browse the images?

Phillipp,
I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

Which security risks can be exploited bij opening a routed port on a windows network

Which security risks can be exploited by opening a routed port on a windows network
Our company is implementing a web application with potential security issues we have never dealt with before. The situation is
as follows:
Network
•A LAN with internet router and firewall with a port (f.e. 4589) open, which is routed to IIS server address.
•Network with IIS server, Windows clients and server(s)
•MSSQL application Database on a windows client or server
•IIS Server hosts a .NET 4.0 WCF Web service
Purpose of this config:
•Internet users can use IIS web service to read and write application database tables.
•IIS server has a certificate for authenticity, web services are configured to only use https.
•Application exposes 2 web services:
•1. without user authentication: can only read non-essential information from database
•2. with user auth., for reading and writing more essential information.
I have the following questions concerning security:
1.Can I Isolate external access to the IIS server only, and shield access to the rest of the physical (windows) machine ?
2.We have a lot of customers with only 1 windows 7 or 8 PC. What extra security risks arise in case of a combined MSSql Express
database, Windows integrated IIS 7 or 8, and a customer doing its daily business on the windows client on this PC. (Daily business involves: use of our application (with database), Email, Office, Internet)
3.Can you see any other security vulnerabilities in this scenario, assumed that all machines in the LAN are properly patched ,
shielded with antivirus product and maintained?
Since security is not really my field of expertise, I would be very happy to get some explanation on potential risks of this
configuration.
Thanx in advance, Oskar Stok
Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Robert Bakker Flexdata

Hi,
1.Can I Isolate external access to the IIS server only, and shield access to the rest of the physical (windows) machine ?
You can configure Windows Firewall rules based on ports.
2.We have a lot of customers with only 1 windows 7 or 8 PC. What extra security risks arise in case of a combined MSSql Express
3.Can you see any other security vulnerabilities in this scenario, assumed that all machines in the LAN are properly patched ,
Honestly, I don’t see vulnerabilities here, if you want to secure the server and clients, place them in a private network, you can also use NAT and hardware firewall.
In addition, you can install System Center Endpoint Protection to prevent virus and spyware.

Can an Advanced Action Launch another Advanced Action (or more than one)?

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if an Advanced action could launch another Advanced Action? I have a custom quiz results page and I want several different Advanced Actions to run when the learner enters the page. Is this possible?
paul...

Of course Rick, but that is not really calling another action from an action, since you need to use another event.
As Rod points out, preparing carefully advanced actions by choosing the right events, variables (reusing them) and the proper sequence for statements and decisions in advanced actions can solve a lot of situations. I have been trying to explain that in several blog posts. That was also the reason why I asked about more details concerning the user's situation. It is about an On Enter action. Until now I rarely had to use a workaround by navigating to a dummy slide to execute an advanced action over there using its slide events. All depends on planning and preparing.

Opening multiple images in Photoshop CS3 windows

I can open an image just fine in Photoshop CS3 by going file-open and clicking on the file, I then want to bring in another image into Photoshop CS3 by using file-open which I can do but then the first image disappears and only the second image is in Photoshop. Any ideas?
Thanks, Larry

Freeagent- It worked! Thanks for the advice.

Open an image in new external window...

Hi all,
I have an image in the server, say "c:\hai.jpg", through my application i want to open this image in a new external window on click of a button.
I used the following code,
          String file ="C:\images\p.JPG";
          final byte[] content = this.getByteArrayFromResourcePath(file);
          final IWDCachedWebResource resource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(content, WDWebResourceType.JPG_IMAGE);
          resource.setResourceName("p."+resource.getResourceType().getFileExtension());
          try
               final IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(resource.getAbsoluteURL(), "WD_Filedownload", true);
               window.open();
          catch(Exception e){
               wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(new WDNonFatalException(e), false);
This code opens a new Internet Explorer, but not the image. When i printed the AbsoluteURL of the resource, its printing null. Where am i going wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Pravin

Hi Armin,
I am using this byte array code
     private byte[] getByteArrayFromResourcePath(String resourcePath)throws FileNotFoundException, IOException
           FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(new File(resourcePath));
           ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
           int length;
           byte[] part = new byte[10 * 1024];
           while ((length = in.read(part)) != -1) {
             out.write(part, 0, length);
           in.close();
           return out.toByteArray();
Thanks

I cannot open an image in Photoshop CS5 (windows 7).

When i go to file open and i try to import a picture all that comes up is the grey checkered background. over in the layers box i can see the image. I have cs5 on 2 computers it works great on vista but i am having problems with windows 7 can some one please help!!! thanks

Try disabling OpenGL drawing in preferences. If that works, it means you need to update your video card driver.
Also make sure you are running the latest version of Photoshop CS5 (12.0.1).

Make send email action open in a different tab or window

Made text a link in a smart shape with Cp7.Due to a shortcoming in the Google Chrome browser the email client doesn't open. So, I click the back button and it goes back to the first slide of the project. I am not looking for a resolution of the Chrome browser issue (but it would be nice to have:), I am wondering if the send email action can open a new tab or window to avoid the back-arrow-to-first-slide issue.
thanks.
Michael

When you say: "Click the Back button", I'm assuming you're referring to the Back button in the browser, not a button in your Captivate slide, correct?
If so, this will happen in all browsers when playing Captivate SWFs. Clicking the browser back button essentially reloads the page, not just the slide.

How do you open an image in a new window at a larger size?

Yes I am new at this.
Basically all I'd like to do is have a thumbnail on a page as a button, click it so it opens in a new window at a zoomed larger size.
I know this is probably simple but I can't figure out how to do this.
Anybody have a second to point me in the right direction?
I would appreciate it.

It sounds like you want to create a button hot spot. See this article:
https://blogs.adobe.com/indesigndocs/2010/12/hot-spot-button-workaround-for-indesign-dig-p ubs.html
You might also want to download the free DPS Tips app for an example of this and other DPS effects.

Opening an image in a new window

Ok, I've been browsing around the web trying to find out but
all examples point me to the this one:
on(release){
getURL ("your page name/path", "_blank");
but i don't want to grab the image from a url i want to be
able to click on a thumbnail which then opens a new window of the
larger version of the picture that's within my site folder. I hope
this makes sense. Any help would be much appreciated.

Where are your images then, if they're not somewhere online?
You said
they're in your site folder? Then they're online and getURL
will work
fine...

How to open photos photos in a seperate window

Hi all, I recently ran across a website where the images were able to open in a seperate page as well as the usual photo gallery and slideshow. Does anyone have any insight as to how this is done?
This is a link to that website

I see what you're referring to. It must be a special theme. There are several 3rd party theme providers that might have that feature in it's download section. Google iDVD themes and see what you find.
I've not tried all of the iDVD dark themes so don't know if one one them will provide that enlargement. Maybe the theme used was modified but that's out of my realm.

Can advanced actions be applied to animations, images etc??

When messing around with Cap 4 last week, I was sure I saw a
function that would make it possible to apply an advanced action to
an image or animation. Now I simply can't find it and I am
questioning whether I saw it in the first place and that it was
possibly a dream of what I wanted Cap 4 to have.
Can anyone help me?????
Regards,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
You can show / hide objects using the Show and Hide actions
that are part of the Standard Actions. Choose Project >
Actions.... When the Action Dialog appears click on the Advanced
Actions tab. Next, from the Edit / Create Actions menu choose
Create a new action... Now double-click on Add Statement, from the
menu that now appears, choose either Show or Hide and then select
the object you want to show or hide.
Once you have created and saved your Action. You could then
apply this to say a button.To do this you would simply create a new
button and from the on success Action menu of the button dialog,
you would select Execute advanced action and then select the action
you just created.
If you wanted to hide multiple objects. You could choose
Multiple Actions (from the on success) menu. Clicking the "..."
button will display the Set Advanced Actions dialog. Selecting say
Hide would then display all the objects on the current slide. From
this dialog you can then select each of the objects you want to
hide and then click the Add button. Clicking OK twice to dismiss
both the dialogs and then previewing the project will then enable
you to test out the hide functionality.
Actions are a fantastic addition to Adobe Captivate 4 and
although they might take a little getting used are definitely worth
preserving with.
Best - Mark

Can I call a specific time of the timeline in an advanced action?

Can I use the specific time of the time line to trigger an advance action? If I can what is the correct syntax to call the timeline information?
eg:
in a conditional advanced action
IF
Timeline - is equal to or greater than - 00:16
AND
Timeline - is less than or equal to - 00:20
ACTION
Show - Image 21
ELSE
Hide Image 21

Double post, see: Can you add Advanced actions to an image?
My list with system variables will not really help, I'm afraid. My suspicion (and yours in the other thread) is that the OP doesn't understand the design of the Timeline.

Crash when creating advanced action with "open URL"

Hi there,
my crash problem (captivate 5.5, win 7 64 bit, adobe PP CS6 installed):
On one slide of my project, I have a slide video and a button at a certain point. First I created an advanced action (open URL in a new window and pause slide video). Then I saved the action and assigned it to the button. Til here, all was ok.
Then, I wanted to change the URL in the advanced action.
When I opened the created action, the "open URL"-parameter disappeared, but the table row was shown empy:
Then I wanted to assign a new URL. After creating a new "open URL"-paramter I wanted to save the changes. And then captivate crashed with this fatal error:
And from this time, every time I want to change - or even create a new action with the above mentioned parameters - captivate crashes.
can anyone reproduce this error? Is this a bug (or a feature ;-), or did I something wrong?
Thanks
Markus

Hi Aditya,
thanks for your post.
2. Create a new project and try the same thing
I created a new project....same problem...
If you face the same channel, then try recreating the Adobe Captivate preferences. Please follow the steps mentioned here :
1. Close Adobe Captivate.
2. Locate the preference folder:
Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 5.5 folder
3. Rename the preference folder.
I didn't found a preference folder in the captivate 5.5 folder. Here is my captivate 5.5 folder:
what to do now?? Now I am at a loss...
