Captivate 3: Getting a URL to open in a new page (help!)

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me…it’d be much appreciated!
I’m using captivate 3 to combine a power point presentation and an audio file to publish as a flash player on the internet. I need to include some form of assessment form to but having read the many discussions here about how using the quiz function is unreliable I’m going to use surveymonkey or the likes.
My question is…how do I put a link for the webpage into the flash presentation?
I read through all the discussions about this on the forum and have tried a good couple of things but still have no luck!
-         Tried making a click box and choosing on success open URL or File and then pick it to open on a new page (nope)
-         Tried making it so that when the last slide is finished a new page and the URL would open (nope)
Etc etc
I’ve read a couple of times here that it could be the flash settings that are the problem but if this is the case then I can’t get everyone who views the presentation to change their flash settings.
Am I doomed to have no assessment forms?? (oh the horror!)
Any suggestions would be great J

Hi there
My guess is that indeed it is the Flash Settings blocking you. Check my blog link below for more.
I might ask where your users will be running the presentation from? If you come back and report that they will be clicking a link to run it from your web server, then your worries are unfounded. This is because the Flash Player doesn't block links to URLs when you run from the server. When you run from the server, you are in a different security zone.
Cheers... Rick

  • How do I get a link to open in a new page?

    I installed Mavericks yesterday and find that when I receive an email with a link or go on another site with a link, it opens in the window I have on the screen instead of a separate window. How can I correct this? Sometimes I need to transfer pictures or copy to a different page and cannot do that now.
    This may seem like a trivial question to some, but it is important to me.

  • I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
    The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
    That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
    SO...
    When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
    Many Thanks!

  • When I click to open anything I get a box saying open link in new window, open link in new tab, download linked file etc.  When I go to close anything I get hide toolbar, customize toolbar.  It takes  3-5 clicks and it will finally close.

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
    To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

  • IPhone Safari doesn't open links in new page

    Under iPhone Safari Settings, I've got it set to Open Links In New Page, but when I click on links in Safari, that doesn't happen. When I set it to Open Links In Background, that doesn't happen either. Links open in the same page no matter what the setting.
    Anyone know how this can be fixed? Thanks.
    (iPhone 4S running IO5)

    It depends on the website. Some websites have it set up to take you to a new tab, some do it in the same tab.

    Newer version does not have the same interface.  I'm stuck trying to understand how to add a "blank" target to a hyperlink...  See how your screenshot has a dropdown associated with the "Hyperlink" object?  Mine doesn't...

  • Guided Nav. Link does not open in a new page

    Hi,
    I am using Guided navigation links in OBIEE dashboards to link some of my reports.
    When i click on the Link it opens the report on the same page. Instead i have to open the report in a new page. This Option is available in 'Link OR Image' section, not in 'Guided Nav. Link' section. Please suggest me if there is any way to achieve this.
    I am using 'Guided Nav. Link' because I need to feed the dashboard prompt values to the navigated reports and this option is not available in 'Link OR Image' .
    Please help me out
    Thanks,
    Santanu

    yes Guided nav doesnot open in a new page so if you need them in a new page u shd use the link or image which has a option for a new page so is there any thing restricting you using link or image things if so you can tell them so we can discuss for a better option

  • My tab buttons will open to a new page. What can I do?

    My tab buttons will not open to a new page. What can I do?

    This problem can be caused by the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions).
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:

  • How do I add Auto Complete and how in the world do I get searches to open in a new page.

    I just downloaded FireFox and need help with two things.
    One how do I get auto complete in FireFox. The download has removed this feature in my Google toolbar.???
    and two how do I get the searches set to open in a new window. I do not like tab browsing.
    I went to tools and checked the box to open new windows in a new tab, but i don't see this happening. Maybe I am just assuming that this is the right setting to select.
    I just want my searches to open in a new window, not in the same window or tab.
    I have Firefox, Google, Bing and Norton search bars. I need all 4 in my business.
    Before the download I was at least able to get Google, Bing and Norton to open in new windows but now they are not. Nothing from any of the search bars will open in a new window

    Did you install the Google Toolbar for Firefox? It has its' own autofill setup, separate from the rudimentary "form fill" that Firefox has. It also has its' own Searchbar, with its' own settings..
    If you are talking about having searches from the Firefox Search Bar open in a new Tab. ''There is no setting for opening a search in a new window.'' <br />
    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' <br />
    Filter = '''browser.search.openintab''' = double-click that preference to toggle it to '''''true''''', then restart Firefox

  • How can i get a tab to open showing my home page?

    How do I get tabs to open in my home page?

    You can install one of the many add-ons to accomplish this. There are many different ones available, so you can just go to the Firefox add-ons page and search for "Home Page".
    Also, ensure that you've setup Firefox with your Home Page URL. If you haven't done so, follow the steps below:
    * Go to Options (i.e. \Firefox\Options\Options);
    * Go to the General tab;
    * Under Start-up - enter the URL in the Home Page URL box.
    Note: Make sure that you have chosen "Show my Home Page" under "When Firefox Starts" (use the drop down arrow).

  • How do I get all hyperlinks to open in a new tab instead of redirecting the open page?

    Simply put, when I hit a hyperlink I do NOT want the page I'm on to go to the linked URL -- I want the new URL to appear in a new and separate tab. FF used to do this just fine -- until I "upgraded" to 5.0.1 yesterday.
    Between this and the smaller screen size for the FF browser I'm thinking of jumping ship back to Chrome...
    HELP!

    Hotmail opens in a new window because the code or set of instructions on the MSN website tells Firefox to open Hotmail in a new window. I would suggest you right click on the Hotmail button and left click on "Open Link in New Tab". This will open a new tab in the current window.

  • How can I embed a PDF in my Captivate 5.5 project that will open in a new window when the user click

    I put a glossary button in my project. When the user clicks on the button, I want the file to open in a new browser window. This works in preview mode, but not when I publish it. What am I doing wrong?

    I've tried the download three times. It reports that installation was successful, but when I use Firefox I still get only an option to download the .pdf; I still can't read it within the browser. This fix WAS for Firefox 5.0, right?

  • Spry Gallery - how to get large image to open in a new window?

    Hey guys,
    I'm building a new website and decided to use Spry for the Gallery section. It works like a charm but I want to get the larger version of the image to open in a new window when someone clicks on the normal image? It shouldn't be that difficult but I'm lost. Can anyone help?
    I believe I have to put a <a href> infront of the image something like this:
    <div id="picture">
            <div id="mainImageOutline" style="width: 0px; height: 0px;"><a href="?????" target="_blank" id="??????"><img id="mainImage" alt="main image" src=""/></a></div>
      </div>
    and something to the XML file...
    <photo
    path = "1.jpg"
    width = "300"
    height = "400"
    thumbpath = "1.jpg"
    thumbwidth = "56"
    thumbheight = "75"
    large = "galleries/xyz/large/1.jpg"   <------- this is the large image I want to open in a new windows
    >
    </photo>
    thanks!!

    Actually, the site is for my friend and she really likes this Gallery: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/gallery/index-air.html
    I just want to keep this one and just edit it, so when I click on the image it opens the large image...

  • Can I get links to automatically open in a new tab just by clicking on them?

    I've selected the option to: "Open new windows in new tab instead" from the options menu. For some time this seemed to open any link I clicked on in a new tab. For some reason this feature is no longer working and new links clicked on simply overwrites the current tab with the new page. I liked the feature of having links open automatically in new tabs. The option remains selected but it does not seem to be working.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == recently

    Standard Firefox behavior is left-click will open a link or bookmark in the currently selected tab, over-writing whatever is in that tab. The definition for the option "Open new windows in a new tab instead" is:
    ''Open new windows in a new tab instead: This option preference controls whether ~~red:links from other applications~~ ~~blue:or from web pages '''which request to open them in new windows'''~~ are opened in a new window or a new tab in the most recent window. ''
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window+-+Tabs+panel
    A <u>'''middle-click'''</u> on a link or bookmark will open in a new tab (middle-click = press the scroll wheel). <u>'''Ctrl+left-click'''</u> will also open a link or bookmark in a new tab.

  • How do I get my hotmail to open in a new tab instead of a new window and I've tried the middle click/ctlr option.

    MSN is my home page and when I click on the hotmail link in the top left hand corner of the page it always opens in a new window even if I press middle-click/ ctrl keys. The hotmail link is the only link that I have had this problem with thus far. Can you help me correct this problem?

    Hotmail opens in a new window because the code or set of instructions on the MSN website tells Firefox to open Hotmail in a new window. I would suggest you right click on the Hotmail button and left click on "Open Link in New Tab". This will open a new tab in the current window.
