Click Box-Opening a Secure Link?

Having some difficulty getting a click box to open a link to
a secure web page on an internal network. Scenario:
1) Click box entered using an HTTPS link that accesses an
internal tool used by employees.
2) Requires the employee to be logged in to the tool to work.
That's ok.
3) Link is set to open in a new window; open URL/File.
4) Click box works in PREVIEW mode, does not work when
launching the published file.
Any ideas?
Chuck

Hello again
I'm assuming you mean "Preview mode" to mean that you are
previewing from inside Captivate. Is that a correct assumption? If
so, it's quite common to see things behave differently as you
aren't truly operating as the end user will see things.
If you preview in the web browser you are actually seeing a
temporarily compiled version of the file and it should behave
identically to the way it will after you publish it. In this mode
as well as after you publish, the files are actually being executed
off your local hard drive. And from the Flash Player perspective,
that's a dangerous area so it restricts things until you pat it on
the head and assure it the world won't end if it allows the
linking.
When you adjust the security settings, you are advising the
Flash Player that the location you nominate is "safe" to execute
content from.
Does that make sense? Hope so... Rick

Click Box - Open URL's

I created a Captivate project. At the end of the project the
user has 3 options that I created Click Boxes for.
Option 1 - Return to the start of the video and watch again.
Option 2 - Click Next to view the next video
Option 3 - Click to schedule an on-line demo
These click boxes are set to pause until clicked with
Infinite attempts.
Option 1 jumps to slide 1 and works fine.
Option 2 - Is set to Open URL or file -
http://www.raritan.com/videos/blades-management/virtualization.html
Option 3 - Is set to Open URL or file -
http://www.raritan.com/c/f.1002/p.online-demo/thank-you/
If I preview project, these links work correctly (option 2
will show file not found since the video hasn't been posted yet).
When I publish the file and play the flash, both the Option 2
URL and Option 3 URL's open at the start of the swf file. I have
never had this happen before. I have looked at the publish
preferences to see if something there is kicking off the start, but
I don't see anything that would cause this.
Can anyone help me..... This project is already overdue.
THANKS.

Rick,
I selected the click box properties for Option 2 and Option
3. I selected New and I also De-Selected continue running project.
This is producing the same results.
I publish a zip file that includes an .html, .swf and .js. In
not using any project skin and testing components. When I double
click on the swf, the url links for Option 2 and Option 3
automatically open with the swf.
So basically I have 3 windows open. The swf file, and 2 IE
windows one with the url address for option 2 and one with the url
address for option 3.
These should not open until the user gets to the file slide
of the swf and selects one of the click boxes to activate the url
link.
I have been all over these forums and one suggested I put the
text "url:" before the
http:// link --- I tried that and the swf file
and 2 IE windows still opened upon the start up.
Just for additional information - these are my publish
preference settings for Start/End Project -
Project START Options -
Loading screen - unchecked, Password protect project -
unchecked, Password expiration date - unchecked, Fade in on first
slide - unchecked
Project END Options
Action - Close Project, Fade out at last slide - unchecked.
Any idea what to do from here?

Click box - Opening another project again, again, again...

Hello,
I think I'm an idiot. I've read almoust all of the "opening another project", "linking..." etc discussions. But I have no idea how to make it working. Starting once again:
I have unlocked Flash security or whatever it is. I have a project and it is so big so I decided to cut him for more smaller projects. I would like to have a one slide project with many clickboxes areas for opening another projects.
I exported, pubished all possibilities of linked project(swf,CP,hml...) to one slide project folder. I tried Open another project, open file/URL. Nothing happens.
What do I have to do, step by step.
Where should be all projects, what formats, where to preview
I hope u understand all.
cheers Barbatian

Hello,
I know I won't be using Jump to Slide. :-)
Let me explain...
For example I have a one slide project. On this one slide is screenshot of www.adobe.com, just a picture.
I also have few more projects called "Products", "Solutions", "Learning", ...
Each of these projects explains what any of these "folders" contains.
For example:
Project Products will start:
Click here, to see our Products(with voice and mouse movement)
Next
Here u can find any of our products. Click any of them to learn about it...
Sth like this... I hope u know what I mean.
Instead of having this all in one project(1000 slides) I would Like to have main page with "hyperlinks" to another projects. But I don't want My main project to open another project as another file/window. I just want my main project to "jump to another project" in the same window. Is this possible in .exe file or .swf ?
Another way:
I would like to have my main project on web. So like the first time user won't be jumping to another windows or tab. He will be watching in one tab, one captivate "movie".
Is this possible ?
How Can I do that ?
And how Can I open those another project in other tabs/windows in web.
I tried to publish all projects to the same folder but it doesn't work... Maybe I did sth wrong. Can u write it step by step what should I do?
I hope u understand my bad english and my vision :-)
cheers Barbatian.

Have downloaded the newest Firefox problem is when I right click to open a new link in new tab the text and images always get larger in each time I open new link to get right size I must must constantly press " ctrl + 0 "

problem new browser

Starting Firefox in Safe Mode does indeed get rid of the behavior I find undesirable. Thank you.
However, I still wonder why one should have to go through the extra step (starting in Safe Mode) to avoid the second tab in the newly opened window.
I have not added any add-ons to Firefox on my PC.
The problem suddenly started occurring a while back, after an automatic update of Firefox to the latest version.
Any thoughts on WHY this is happening?

Sharepoint 2010 Approval Workflow "Open this task" link not functioning

When I am clicking on "Open this task" link in outlook 2010 i am getting error as "Access to the floowing form required". Please help me out to resolve the issue..
Thanks,

Unfortunately the regedit ActiveX Compatibility GUID wasn't present so I couldn't delete it. I kept searching and tried this:
Follow these steps:
a. Open Internet Explorer.
b. Click “Tools” and “Internet Options.”
c. Click the “Advanced” tab.
d. Scroll down to “Security.”
e. Un-check “Do not save encrypted pages to disk.”
f. Click “Apply” and “OK.”
Restart Internet Explorer and verify if the issue persists.

Not sure why but if I uncheck the box it works and rechecking breaks it. Perhaps IE downloads the files on behalf of Outlook and Word, but Outlook can't get to them if the files aren't saved in cache by IE. Our SharePoint site is secured

Middle click to open window in foreground broken

I upgraded my Firefox recently to Version 16.0.1.
Since then my middle click button has not been working the same.
I open up multiple windows and in each window I open links and I used to do this by middle clicking on the link and it would open up the link in a tab in the current window I am working in.
Now when I middle click, it opens up the link in the primary/original window and not in the current window I am working in.
The only solution I have found is to hover over the link and open in the foreground tab.
I am using Tab Mix Plus version 0.4.0.3 and have uninstalled and re-installed already with no change...

How do I convert from pdf to word? I see an option to do so, however, when I click on it, Ia box opens...

when I try to convert from pdf to word, a box opens and suggests I am to click on (select) the file I want to convert. It sounds all well but it does not work. I really really just want my files back in word, all of them, no matter, because after having to reinstall windows 7 (done by techs) and me having to re-download all my HP drivers, and tools, and other software, which I imagine included adobe reader, now I see some pdf files won't open. It says, "access denied" and boy that really makes me wantt o scream. I am the ONLY user, it is my notebook, I am the administrator so I can't figure out why some files open and some don't. I can't ascertain any difference.
I would be grateful for any help. This has become just too exhausting. After reinstalling sooooooooo much, then to have to go through this with what is a free application? I say I think not.
This should NEVER happen with any free application and boy there is NO help to be found. They blow you off the phone fast telling you it's a free application. Then why are you putting in this kind of stuff that it won't open? This is NOT a shared notebook, it's mine. I am the only user, personal use.
HP probook, if anyone needs that info.
Please, will someone help?
I would be so grateful.
thanks,
Gina

Gee, Pat, this is a real big help.
Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
Maybe someone else has an idea.
Take Ownership of a File or Folder
The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
Thanks for the help. Have a great year.

When clicking on links that open in a new window, the links don't open and Firefox freezes in a way. I can navigate the page I am on but cannot click to open a new tab or bookmark.

When navigating the internet, if I come across a web page that has a link to open a picture or program in a new window, if I click on it, it does not open. Firefox immediately looses functionality in that I cannot open a new tab with the mouse wheel, right click to open a new tab, or use my bookmarks in either the drop down or toolbar to navigate away. I can usually still navigate the page that I am on, for example, (https://loanconsolidation.ed.gov/AppEntry/apply-online/appindex.jsp), when it freezes I cannot click on any of the content at the center of the page but I can still use the links from the list on the far left. For an example of the pictures, (http://www.insect-sale.com/), if you click on "New Arrivals" at the top of the page it takes you to a list of products that can only be viewed by clicking on them. Usually a picture of the item would open in a small window but it does not and Firefox freezes. This has also happen when I try a view a degree audit on a school's website where a program would usually open in a new window. The only thing I have been able to find that still functions properly when this happens is the home page button. I can click on it or use the wheel to open it in a tab just fine, but if I try and go anywhere else I cannot. The only way I can get Firefox back to normal is to use the Task Manager and end the process. Another thing I have noticed, that may or may not be related; is that my Norton Internet Security toolbar, that should show up below the bookmarks toolbar and above the tabs, only shows up about 1 out of every 10 times I open Firefox. Some days it doesn't show up at all. If it does show up and I log into Identity Safe, the autofill for the programed website works, even if the toolbar doesn't show up the next time I open Firefox.

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
Tools->Options->General->Download

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

FF 6.0 doesn't open pdf-links, after clicking on "open pdf" error message says file not supported or damaged. IE opens file all right. Please advice.

Firefox 6.0 doesn't open pdf-links after clicking on "open pdf". I frequently need to do literature searches and I need to view pdf files in the browser. After clicking on the pdf - link of a file the main options are to open or download the pdf. Every time I try to open a pdf-file a blank page and an error message appears saying the file would not be supported or is damaged. IE, however, opens the file all right. I tried various changes in the security and cookie settings without success. Please advice.

Hi SGckc,
This document is almost certainly a dynamic XFA form. Unfortunately, our mobile Reader does not support displaying or filling such forms. The application that produces this form embeds this message into the document so that non-supportive viewers (like ours) will display this "error" page when the document opens. I do realize that this is confusing and I would like to add some additional detection to our Reader for this case. However, we've avoided doing this for fear of confusing users even further. Your feedback helps though. Hopefully we'll find a way to detect this case and present a better message to the user like: This form is not supported by the mobile version of the Adobe Reader. Please open and fill it on the non-mobile version of the Adobe Reader for Windows, Linux or Mac OSX.
Thank you for contacting us!

Captivate 7 Click box and bottons not able to open an URL on a new window

I inserted a button and a click box in CP7 to open an URL on a new window. The URL opens but in a New Tab. There is an issue that the URL cannot be opened on a NEW WINDOW, I am using IE and Chrome. Do you have any ideas about this issue and how to troubleshoot it? I tried with Safari and it works fine.
Thanks, Jorge - Adobe Captivate 7 user.

Hi Jorge
It's my understanding that all you can do is to configure the link to open in a new "whatever". Whether you get the link opening in a tab or a window is left up to the browser and how the particular user has their browser configured. For example, I use Firefox and when I look at its settings here is what I see.
I'm guessing there must be a way to force a new window, because I do see new windows appear. But I think in those cases folks are doing it by using JavaScript.
Cheers... Rick

I use Yahoo mail. I went to Firefox options to change my "mail to" to Yahoo, but when I click on e-mail a link, I wind up in my Yahoo in-box and not a compose b

If I have a web site on my screen that I want to send to someone, I right-click, click on "Yahoo", then click on "E-mail this page". My Yahoo in-box opens, rather than a blank e-mail compose page with the link in blue.

Hi jaxjax, yes, I see that too. They are not decoding the URL fully, and they are not getting the page title into the subject line.
I can't fix how Yahoo works, but maybe we can come up with a workaround for Yahoo! mail users that isn't too much of a pain. Maybe this:
(1) Open a tab to Yahoo! mail so you can see your current server name, for example:
us-mg4.mail.yahoo''.''com
You'll need that information in a minute.
(2) Select and copy the following script (please visit this thread to copy the script in case it got corrupted in the email notification):
javascript:void(window.open('https://us-mg4.mail.yahoo''.''com/neo/launch?action=compose&to=&subject='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&body='+encodeURIComponent(location.href),'_blank'));
(3) Create a new bookmark in a convenient location, such as the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you usually display the Bookmarks Toolbar, right-click it and choose New Bookmark.
* If you prefer not to display the Bookmarks Toolbar, click the bookmarks menu, then right-click an existing bookmark and choose New Bookmark.
For "Name" you can choose something like Email-Y.
For "Location", paste the script. Then move the cursor to the beginning of the line and edit the Yahoo! server to match your mail server.
Finally, click Add.
Now on a page you want to share, click your new bookmark and a message should launch in a new tab with the correct subject and body. (For me, it takes several seconds to appear after the Yahoo! inbox appears.)
Any luck?
