How to link to another project?

Hello guys!
I´ve got a little problem with captivate 4:
I would like to put a button in my project that is linked to a specific slide in another project. Is this possible?
I´m looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards
Smoky Mc Pot 3555

Hi there
Indeed it is possible. You must use some JavaScripting and Variables and Advanced Actions, but it can happen with Captivate 4.

Link to another Project folder

I need to link to a module in another project folder. I used
the click box and in the On Success chose Open other project and
picked the swf file using the elipsis. However, when I ran it, it
was looking for the file in the same folder as my current course
not in the other project folder. Can I not link to another project
folder using Captivate. We want to reuse components from one
project to another without having multiple copies in every folder.
Thanks for all your help.

With JavaScript, you're limited primarily by your
imagination, so the example I offered was intentionally generic.
In practical use, you would probably want Captivate to pass
only the destination folder & filename and let the JavaScript
function create the full path. Assuming the relative folder
structure is the same on each server, you'd only need a single
generic function.
For example, if you wanted to launch a file named
"introduction.htm" in an adjacent folder named "course02", you
could add the following to Captivate:
javascript: goToMovie('course02','introduction.htm');
and add the following to your standard.js file (so it gets
automatically propagated to each published course):
function goToMovie(strFolder, strFile)
var arrPath = window.location.href.split('/');
arrPath[arrPath.length-2] = strFolder;
arrPath[arrPath.length-1] = strFile;
window.location.href = arrPath.join('/');
The Captivate function passes the folder and file name as
quoted string variables and the JavaScript function then uses those
variables to create a new URL. You can get as fancy as you like,
such as adding logic to go up more than one folder level, but
hopefully you get the general idea.

How to link to another page in same application?

I think I have a brain fog right now. Cause I can't figure this out.
I would like to link to another page in the same application by way of just an arbitrary word in a paragraph.
I am not trying to pass any values. I am not using a button or a text item.
How can I make a link out of a word?
Thanks much,
Maggie

Hi Maggie!
I imagine myself, that you have a html text and you want to have a hyperlink to another page in your application.
For instance you have a text like: "I want to create a hyperlink to a page"
Now, if your mouse passes the word "hyperlink", you want to see that magic 'hand'.
First copy the URL of the target page: something like this -> "http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=100:2:3122716493255005::NO:::"
Than change your html text in this way:
I want to create a hyperlink to a page
I hope, it helps

Unable to link to another project

Hi there
Relatively new to captivate, so just wondered if somebody
tell me if I'm doing something wrong. I have created a quiz with
about 30 questions. At the end of the quiz I want the user if they
require to link to a different project with a detailed explanation
about the correct answer to each question (I know I could do this
in the review section of each question, but there doesn't seem to
be enough room within the review question textbox to place the
answer and there seems no way to create a scrolling textbox in
captivate
when I create a slide and place a button on the slide linking
it to another project, when I view that slide in the Web browser
and click on the button it won't take me to the new project, and
comes up with an error message about not finding the file.
Any insight as to what I'm doing wrong would be greatly
appreciated.

Hi simonapsey
When you assigned the action to the button, exactly what
action did you assign? If you selected "Open other project", you
should have been prompted to navigate to where the other project
exists on your hard drive. After you publish, you then need to
ensure that both outputs exist in the same folder.

Add default slide to the constructor and use a similar process to http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/spry_url_utils.php
var ImageSlideShow = new Spry.Widget.ImageSlideShow("#ImageSlideShow", {
    defaultSlide: 2,
    widgetID: "ImageSlideShow",

Presumbly locking wouldn't work?Not really: Locking would mean that only one client/person could use the library using the Java wrapper. That in fact is the shortcoming I'd like to overcome by instantiate multiple processes.

Hi!
I am a Captivate beginner. I am trying to link to another project from a button. I selected:
If user clicks on button:
On Success - Open other project
Project - (Name of project)
When I try to project it to test it out, I get the following message: "The project (Name of project).htm, (Name of project).swf is launched at this point but is unavailable from this preview."
What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help!!!!

Hi there
You aren't doing anything wrong. You are testing from a Preview. The message is telling you that you will need to Publish it to see it in action.

Hi Lilybiri,
no I am not used to Storyline!!!!
I just dislike talking about a slide, as we are not working with PPT!!!
An e-Learning module with interactivity should not be compared to slides as in PPT, I think as there is much more to it!!!
Thanks for your hint to the article. I think this will help!!!
I will know in a couple of days

Hi! How can I continue my project in iMovie 10.0.1 in another Macbook?

Hi! How can I continue my project already started in iMovie 10.0.1, in another Macbook?

You need to make sure first that all the media is in your library and it does not contain links to external media that will break when you move your library. You do this by choosing selecting the library in the libraries pane and choosing File - Consolidate Library Media.
If your library is on an external drive you can simply reconnect that drive to the other mac; otherwise you will have to copy the library package (it looks like a file with the extension .imovielibrary) to the other mac. Launch iMovie 10. The first time iMovie won't know where the library is so you will have to choose File - Open Library - Other and navigate to the library location.

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

I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?

I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.
