Link to another Project folder

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.
