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.

Want to open another project from Quiz Results - can't get it to work.

I have been trying to get my course to open another project (an instruction slide) after the user completes a quiz and it is not working. The course always closes after the quiz results. I have set the Project End Options and the Pass or Fail options to all open another project (the instruction slide), but instead, after the user clicks 'Continue' on the quiz results page, the course always closes. What could I be missing? (Am using Captivate 5.)

Just finally getting my head above water and am able to respond and update. Yes, I was using a tool called RELOAD to update the imsmanifest file. Actually a great tool that I can recommend now that I worked out the kinks with Captivate. Please see this post for more information. http://www.caddicks.com/blog/2012/02/17/how-to-publish-a-multi-file-captivate-project-as-a -single-scorm-course/#comment-249711
Here's a quick summary of how I ended up resolving this - I can't even remember all the different options I tried until I settled on this! I never resolved the issue with launching another project from the quiz results page, but found a workaround that works even better.
The course starts with a brief introduction module. The 'Continue' button on the last slide is set to launch another project, which opens the course's 'main menu.'
The 'main menu' project has several buttons that launch appropriate sub-topic projects.
On the last slide of each of the 'sub-topic' projects has the 'Continue' button set to launch the 'main menu' again. Each of these had quiz questions, but feedback was set at the question level only - no quiz results page.
The last option on the 'main menu' project was a 'Course Completion' button - which launches a project containing the final quiz. (NOTE: This was always the only project that had the "Show score at the end of the quiz" set to display under Preferences / Quiz / Settings. After a lot of hair-pulling, I realized that it wasn't necessary to open another project to accomplish what I wanted to do, which was return the user to some basic instructions before they retook the quiz.)Here is how the last project was set up.
The first slide is a content slide with instructions for the quiz. When the user clicks the "Back" button from this slide, it will launch the 'main menu' project. 'Next' simply goes to the next slide.
Slides 2-5 are quiz questions
Slide 6 is the quiz results slide (turned on under Preferences / Quiz / Settings). Buttons are: Review Quiz and Continue.
Slide 7 is a content slide with instructions on what to do next. This slide has a text button that I called "Retry" and under Properties / Reporting for the button the "Include in quiz" is NOT checked. The Retry button takes the user back to the first slide in the quiz.

Aggregator exe project not opening another project

aggregator exe project not opening another project when published.
The same works fine in HTML.
I tried in Captivate 7 and 8 as well.

I'm having a similar issue. I've used a "home" button to return to the main menu of the course. However, all it does is return me to the last screen I was on. I've tried linking the button to a the aggregator htm and to the swf. Neither gives me the results I want. I currently have it set to open in the current window. However, I get the feeling that it's automatically invoking a bookmarking feature and I'm not getting the pop-up box asking me if I want to return to the last screen or not.

How to make sure, on success action 'Open another project' works on both ipad and desktop devices

If I have a project with a open another project in a new window action set to a button in that project, will only placing the swf and htm files of the newly opened project within the published folder of the parent project be enough for allowing the parent project to be played successfully both in desktop and mobile devices like ipad? To allow this, I presume multiscreen.html file located within the published folder of the parent project is the file to be used. But, since swf files can't be played on mobile devices, do I need to place the multiscreen.html file located within the published folder of the newly opened project into the published folder location of the parent project? The parent project folder location already has multiscreen.html file specific to that project and if the multiscreen.html file of the newly opened project need to be added to the published folder location of the parent project(which also has multiscreen.html file), how do I go about doing this? Can I just rename the mulscreen.html file of the newly opened project to say something different like multiscreen1.html and add this file along with the swf and htm file into the published folder location of the parent project, so that it works for both desktop or mobile devices.

From what I'm hearing, you're probably wise to have a copy of the file in both locations. One in the same folder as the SWF, and the other in with the HTML5 files. What I don't know is exactly where in the HTML5 folders your file would need to be. It might need to be at the same level as the index.html. I haven't tested this.
You should be able to figure out the answer to a lot of your questions just by testing things out on content uploaded to a web server. At the end of the day, if it works, it works.

Everything I click on opens another tab

Everything I click on opens another tab, there is no other way to describe this major problem. And I mean everything you click on! I have restarted, reinstalled, ran in safe mode, disabled add on's ect......
I have been a loyal firefoxer for about 6 years and this makes me not want to continue......help.......!

Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 19.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

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 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

Open Another Project - how do I set up the published files?

I created a Menu project that launches (via buttons) two other projects. Each of these other projects has a button to return to the Menu. I copied the published set of files to each of the Callees folders. So, Menu\Callees has Run 1 and Run 2 folders (all the published files) Run 1 and Run 2\Callees each have Menu folder with all the published files. Menu launches Run 1 and Run 2 fine but the Menu button on Run 1 and 2 works once, then I get this:
No webpage was found for the web address:file:///C:/Users/Jeff/Documents/My%20Adobe%20Captivate%20Projects/menu%20test/Menu/callees /Run_1/callees/Menu/callees/Run_1/callees/Menu/index.html
Anyone have a simple explanation for how I should be setting up the published files?
Thanks so much,
Jeff

Thanks Rob,
Would running these from a web server resolve the file location problem I asked about? I tested the SWF version on my HD and got a similar error message (this time looking in the root directory, not the callees folder.) Can you point me to a reference re: how to set up files when running another project?
Thanks,
Jeff

Can't open the project again

Hi there,
unfortunately I have to come back again to solve the same problem as one week ago, but this time with a new project. Here it's the problem of the last weekend:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22096295#22096295
The process described there is not working this time.
I can't open it because FCX keeps quitting unexpectedly after a few seconds opened.
Macbook Pro 2.2 ghz i7, 4gb of ram ddr3, HD is only half full.
FC 10.0.8 OSX 10.8.3
Please help!

Btw, I've noticed that throwing the current event to the trash makes FCX work fine. When I put it back the problem comes back. Ok, the problems is there in the event. Now what should i do?

Open Other Project not closing original file

Hello All,
I have a total of 55 exe files that are all accessed through
one captivate file called "Interface". I am experiencing some
inconsistent errors with the "Open other project" feature when
testing this on a computer other than my own. Basically, a user
will be in the interface file and click on a course they would like
to take. Let's say for example, they choose to take an interviewing
course. When they click Interviewing, the interface disappears and
they see the desktop or sometimes a white screen while Interview is
being opened. Sometimes, the course never shows up so I use my
CTL+Alt+Delete/Task Manager to view what has happened and I am
finding that Interface and Interview are both open and are
minimized on my toolbar. If the user doesn't use CTL+ALT Delete,
they would never even know their course opened because for some
reason they can only see a white screen. Ideally, I would like the
Interface file to close down as soon as the user clicks on another
course. I have it set to "Open Other Project" and selected Current
but still it is keeping the Interface open (sometimes). Again, the
errors are pretty inconsistent. One day it works perfectly and the
next day I am getting what I described above. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kim

Hi Kim
It's common that the EXE format doesn't close when opening
another project. So here's something you may wish to try. Button
and Click Box objects normally allow the slide to continue playing
when clicked by the user. Assuming all of them are identically
timed for the pause, you might simply allow a click on any of them
to allow the project to continue playing. Then configure the end
action to be that of closing the project.
My thought here is that perhaps a click on the object (Click
Box or Button) will cause the project to continue briefly, then
terminate. This should close it down. Then at the end of the
projects you linked to, have their end action to be to open the
menu back up. Then have them close down.
Hopefully that makes a bit of sense.
Cheers... Rick

Open Other Project Feature Follow up ?

I just posted a question in regards to "Open Other Project"
button giving me inconsistent results. I was reading other posts to
try to find an answer when something I read made me question
myself.
When I am setting "Open Other Project" as an option, I
actually typed the name of the file that I want to link to. For
instance I type Interview. I do not add .exe to the end of the file
or .cp. Okay, I just thought about trying to select the exe file
from the ...button but realized that it would only allow me to
connect to a .cp file. Hmmmmm.
So, my question is - did I mess up by typing the name of my
file with no extension? Should I actually be linking to another .cp
file? Since these all need to be executables, will I have issues
with the Interface searching for .cp file instead of an .exe?
Hope this makes some kind of sense to someone.
Thanks,
Kim

Thanks for the response Rick. Did you happen to see my other
post about my exe files not closing when they open another project?
It is causing me some MAJOR issues. Basically if the interface
doesn't close, then the file that it is trying to switch to takes a
very long time to open and could cause the user to think they need
to click on the button again which as you can imagine creates an
even bigger issue. Any thoughts?

Open as Project question

Hello,
When I have a Multitrack project open, and control click "Select all occurrences of..." of a clip, then control click Open as Project, will the changes I make in the waveform editor affect all occurences that were selected?
If not, is there way of doing something similar? I would like to normalize a clip (nondestructively) that has many cuts without having to open each cut of the clip in the waveform editor.
If there is an easy way of doing this please let me know... I've totally missed it.
Thanks,
Dan

Can't open Garageband project, please help

I was using a Mac Mini, 10.7.5, and recorded some vocal tracks on Garageband 11. I clicked gospel choir vocal effect at first, and it was fine. When I wanted to try another effect by clicking another one, the application quit. When I tried to open the project again, the initializing window popped up, and a few seconds after, it said something like "Garageband quit unexpectedly, do you want to reopen to restore the windows". When I clicked "reopen", it directed me back to Garageband recent project page without opening the project I was working on. I tried to open other projects I worked on previously, and those could be opened; just not the one that I worked on recently.
I didn't back up anything with the Time Machine because I never used it before, didn't know how to use it.
I just saved the project to my USB drive, deleted the one on the Mac Mini, deleted Garageband, updated to iOS10.9 something, reinstalled the newest version of Garageband, tried to open the project from the USB drive, failed again.
When I open the "show package content", some mp3 files of my recorded vocals are there. I don't think all of what I recorded are there, but some.
Please help.
Thanks!

General Error When Opening A Project in FCE

I have read many threads on this.
My Config: FCE HD 3.51 / Intel Duo iMac
When I opened the project (both from FCE and double click), it would not open and I received a General Error. My projects are saved in a folder called FCE Projects in my documents folder on my iMacs hard drive.
I am able to open from my Auto Save - I moved this file to my desktop and renamed as the project copy - now I can open the project again.
HOWEVER - when I move this project off my desktop back into my FCE projects folder, I get the same General Error again. Other projects from the same folder open fine.
Any ideas?

Try repairing permissions and re-boot.
