Navigation button to external webhelp projects

I have 6 separate Electronic Guides, each created separately
in X5 (webhelp), and which can be individually loaded from a
separate menu Interface (created in another X5 Webhelp project)
using external HTML links. The 6 Guides, plus Menu interface are
being burned to CD Rom for distribution. The menu interface works
fine, and provides access to each Guide as required. However, what
I would like to also achieve is a situation where, once any one of
the 6 guides is opened, a button on the navigation bar will close
the Guide concerned, and allow an immediate return to the CD Menu
interface.
I have created a button in the skin of each Guide, but cannot
create a working link back to the separate CD Menu interface.
Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hi Leon,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, when attempting to
create the link, I still get the message 'selected file does not
exist - Please enter a valid filename'. I think this is because the
project file for each guide is held in totally separate folders on
a networked drive, and the 'CD Menu' project is, again, in a
totally separate folder on the same drive. Therefore, the link back
to the CD Menu, in any particular Guide, cannot find the start-up
page for the CD Menu. No matter what I try, I cannot set the link
to an external file - bacuse the actual link won't let
me.Help!!!!

How to use the Back and Next navigation buttons on the Skin

Hi,
I am a Tech Writer using RH7 for my current project. We are using a skin created by our company. I am not able to include the navigation buttons "Next" and "Previous" in my Webhelp output. They are shown in the skin editor (Picture attached), but not reflecting int he output. Can anyone help me with this. You can also suggest any alternative ways of navigation. "Next" option is mandatory for me.

When trying to sign out of Hotmail the "back navigation button" remains green and I have to click sign out again and the same thing happens over and over and the only way to close Hotmail is to go to File and Close Frame, so what's my problem?

When I attempt to sign out of Hot Mail by clicking "Sign Out," I get the "Sign In" instruction as I always have, however, the green Firefox navigation button remains on bright green (not going to gray) and my MSN home page will not close automatically as usual. I click on the green arrow and I get an instruction to "Sign Out" again. I click on that and get the "Sign In" again but the arrow stays green. I can repeat this countless times and never get signed out and always remaining on the MSN home page. The only way I can close is to go to File and click on Close Window and then my homepage will close and go back to desktop. I've been using Firefox for a couple of years now (IE prior to that for ten years) and have never had this problem. After using "Close Window" I go back onto my home page, from the desktop, and the navigation button is grayed out normally until I sign in again and we start the cycle over again. Have I been hacked?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Approximately a month ago.

I was doing a side-by-side comparison of the new and old server (we backed up the server before the reformat) and I can see that, evidently, CR XI was installed. We have the directory C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0 and all the versions match what is located in the project's bin directory. Does this confirm that I did have XI installed and licensed at one time?
If I purchase a more recent version, couldn't I update the reports to use the newer version? I have all the source code.
Thanks for your help, it is a nice sanity check for me after hours of reading forums and documentation.
Also, just a shot in the dark, but I'm assuming it wouldn't do me any good to simply restore the aforementioned folder to my C drive? Would that work if I registered all the dll's?
Edited by: Eric Hollering on Dec 2, 2009 6:40 PM
To be clear, I do have VS 2003 & 2005, and I have the source code. I just have never used Crystal Reports in any of my .NET apps because the need wasn't there, so recompiling is not out of the question.
Edited by: Eric Hollering on Dec 2, 2009 6:49 PM
Also, I looked at the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll that was in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\Managed folder and when I right-click and view the properties, then the Version tab, in addition to the 11.0.9500.2 version number, there is a property called Product Version that has the value .NET. Does that mean that this dll was bundled with Visual Studio?
I also found this directory on the old server...does this tell you anything?
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11
I did see that you can still buy XI from CDW. I have a call into them currently to check with Business Objects for any registrations from my company.

Help with Re-Linking Navigation Buttons

I have Adobe Flash CS3 Pro.
I have a navigation header flash file that came with my website template and I am having difficulty making sense of the actionscript. It has a logo section with effects, 5 main nav buttons that move, and two extra link buttons above the navigation bar. Let’s focus on just the Navigation buttons for now. Here is what I have gathered. I have multiple text buttons on one movieclip, and I have successfully edited the text for each button. If I look at the actionscript in the top layer of this movieclip I see:
“gotoAndStop(parent._parent.num);”
I also have a separate movieclip symbol (with effects) with 5 buttons layers listed in the actionscript with the following actionscript tied to each button from numbers 1 through 5:
onClipEvent (load) {
 num=1;
onClipEvent (load) {
 num=2;
onClipEvent (load) {
 num=3;
onClipEvent (load) {
 num=4;
onClipEvent (load) {
 num=5;
On the top layer of these 5 buttons I have the following actionscript:
stop();
this["item"+_root.button].gotoAndPlay("s1");
_root.link = _root.button;
I also have a separate button symbol with the following actionscript:
on (rollOver) {
 if (_root.link<>1) {
 menu.item1.gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
 if (_root.link<>1) {
 menu.item1.gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
 if (_root.link<>1) {
 _root.menu["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
 _root.link = 1;
 getURL("index.html");
Now my website template came with 5 html pages that my flash navigation buttons correspond to: (index.html, index-1.html, index-2.html, index-3.html, index-4.html, index-5.html). My problem is that I have created new pages (index.html, about.html, featured.html, projects.html, contact.html). I would like each of the 5 buttons to correspond to these pages, not the existing standard “index-n.html” pages.
Also, this is probably not relevant, but each html page has something to this affect so I can see how they correspond to each button.
<script type="text/javascript">
 var fo = new FlashObject("flash/menu_vf8.swf?button=2", "head", "100%", "144", "7", "");
 fo.addParam("quality", "high");
 fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
 fo.addParam("scale", "noscale");
 fo.write("head");
 </script>
I guess my real question is: What actionscript do I need to update or remove for the nav button LINKS to work with my new html pages rather than the standard 5 index-n.html pages that it automatically wants to link to?
When I try and add a “getURL” command to each of the 5 buttons and test preview the movie, the links work, but it messes up the effects of the movieclip. In other words, the buttons don’t move, they are motionless, however the links work. If I added this command to each button in some way, what actionscript would I need to remove so there weren’t any complications? I need some expert help here for it would be much appreciated. I am a novice with Flash script and its killing me that I can’t figure it out. I asked for help from the template support and all they came back with was the following message and it wasn’t helpful:
You need to duplicate each button you are editing - it is very important.
2) Update the scripting to look similar way:
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>num) {
_parent["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link = num;
if (num == 1) {
getURL("index.html");
} else {
getURL("index-"+Number(num-1)+".html");
Update it to:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.google.com");
Also, I read through the following discussion, which was helpful to a degree, but it still didn’t answer my questions about getting the links to work.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3614092#3614092

First of all, thank you for showing interest and helping out in my dilemma here. I wish I understood your meaning behind “on” because with my luck there is probably some hidden way of placing script on an object that I don’t understand or haven’t discovered yet.
This is what I know:
I have multiple text buttons on one movieclip entitled “textbutton1” (see previous picture), and I have successfully edited the text for each button and created two extra frames/buttons to make 7 total. If I look at the actionscript in the top layer of this movieclip I see:
“gotoAndStop(parent._parent.num);”
But there is no action on each individual frame (all 7 of them) on that layer.
Like I mentioned before I have a separate movieclip symbol (entitled “menu effect”) with 7 button movieclip layers listed in the actionscript with the following actionscript on each layer.
onClipEvent (load) {
 num=1;
onClipEvent (load) {
 num=2;
onClipEvent (load) {
 num=3;
onClipEvent (load) {
 num=4;
onClipEvent (load) {
 num=5;
onClipEvent (load) {
 num=6;
onClipEvent (load) {
 num=7;
On the top layer (layer 4 frame 25) of these 5 buttons I have the following actionscript:
stop();
this["item"+_root.button].gotoAndPlay("s1");
_root.link = _root.button;
I can upload another particular image of the movieclip/actionscript if it would be helpful. Let me know.

Merging Webhelp Projects

When merging two webhelp projects (in version 7), the
subtopic is opening in a new window and the indexes are not merged.
I looked it up in the help and there is a note at the bottom that
says: "Merging WebHelp/FlashHelp projects with a pure HTML master
project or Section 508 compliant WebHelp/FlashHelp causes the
subprojects to be available only from the TOC. Subprojects will
appear as a book in the TOC. Sub-project TOC books will open the
subproject in a new browser window." That is exactly what I don't
want to happen! I was able to do it in other versions easily. What
other options do I have? All the options on the Navigation Pane
Preferred Format tab includes PureHTML. Any advice will be
great!

There's a complete tutorial on my site.

Change title, tooltip and icon for About button in published Webhelp?

About Webhelp is just plain wrong. The tooltip ought to read "About <project name>" and the title bar for the About window should be eliminated (or else have it read About <project ver xx>.
How do I do this?
Likewise, is it possible to change the ICON for the About dialog in the toolbar of a published Webhelp project?

I have the same issue.
I modified the whskin_banner.htm file to control what displays for the About button. The only thing I can't figure out is how to modify the tooltip. It still says "About Webhelp" when you hover over it.
I searched the whskin_banner.html file for the words "About Webhelp" but nothing was found. I looked in the Edit Skin wizard and couldn't find anything either. I also searched the Skinny on Skins and it doesn't address this issue.
How do I change the About tooltip? Did I miss something?
Thanks!

Navigation buttons directing to incorrect slide

I have a project where the navigation actions are working as expected until I arrive at a specific slide (Slide 39). When I click the navigation button there, it's action is set to jump to slide 40, but each time it jumps to slide 34. I have deleted and replaced it still the same. I have changed it from a button to a click box and back. Still the same. There are not Slide actions for Enter or Exit. I am a bit confused.

It was the quiz settings and another issue in combination. My presentation has many branches; so many that a Christmas tree would look like a dead stick in comparison, and a couple of the buttons on slides had been selected as needing to be included in the quiz. Since the presentation was branching around some of those slides it appears that the quiz setting, which I had not even considered, became an issue with the navigation. Now not did the originally reported problem clear up, another navigation issue was resolved as well. Thank you for your reply!!

Kaltura video widget and jquery mobile navigation buttons

Greetings,
I inserted the Kaltura video player widget into a jquery mobile project I built in Dreamweaver 5.5. The video works fine, but all of my navigation buttons were compromised. For example, where once there was a circle with a > symbol--indicating Press to Advance--there is now just a circle. And, in my collapsable block fields, the circle with the + or - symbols are also just circles. I believe that the Javascript that Kaltura inserts conflicts with the existing jQuery JS, but I can't find a fix.
I posted a screen shot below to show the buttons missing the > symbol.
Anybody?
Thanks in advance.

Change the theme to ui- theme darkness
@import url("http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.1/themes/darkness/jquery-ui.css");
this will bring back your arrows.
The problem is in the css. And the redmond theme
I will look at it later and see if i can isolate the issue .
Go to kaltura widget folder > skins > ui-themes to see the css
I am interested in how your testing with this widget is working for Android (iOS works fine). I have a few issues and as I can find very few folks working on this could we maybe collaborate? Thanks Tom

Making navigation to an external page in faces-config.xml

Hi all,
I want to make a navigation to an external page in faces-config.xml, or for example to an absolute URL like www.oracle.com. Is there a way to put a navigation like this in faces-config.xml? As I know the <to-view-id> tag only references a relative page address on the ViewController project.
Thanks in advance,
S/\EE|)

I want to go to a page of another application (I've split my application into several applications) so I need to use absolute address. As the external page is part of my application, I want to see it in my faces-config in order to know the outgoing pages from my page and manage them when necessary.

Print, Export and Page Navigation Buttons in the Report

When I view a report through CR4E, the generated report has 3 buttons namely Print, Export and Page Navigation buttons. But when I click on either of the buttons I get a 'null pointer exception'. This is a critical error as I am unable to navigate past the first page. Do I have to add code to these buttons? If not, why am I getting an error? Kindly solve my problem as soon as possible.

Looking at your code it appears that you are storing the ReportSource in session prior to passing in the ResultSet. This will create a problem when a postback is made on the viewer page (which all of the viewer actions do). If you look at the sample code which is generated when you use the JSP Page Wizard you will notice that the ResultSet is passed to the ReportClientDocument object prior to it being stored in session. Then, when the page is called again this object is retrieved and the ReportSource is used by the viewer. You can quickly run the test using one of our sample reports to see what I am talking about. The code below was generated using the Consolidated Balance Sheet.rpt and did not experience any problems doing any of the viewer actions.<%@page import="com.businessobjects.samples.JRCHelperSample, com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.CrystalReportViewer, com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ReportClientDocument, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.OpenReportOptions, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKExceptionBase, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.reportsource.IReportSource, java.sql.Connection, java.sql.DriverManager, java.sql.ResultSet, java.sql.SQLException, java.sql.Statement"%><% try { String reportName = "Sample Reports/Consolidated Balance Sheet.rpt"; ReportClientDocument clientDoc = (ReportClientDocument) session.getAttribute(reportName); if (clientDoc == null) { clientDoc = new ReportClientDocument(); // Open report clientDoc.open(reportName, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly); { // **** POPULATE MAIN REPORT **** { // Connection Info for fetching the resultSet String connectStr = "jdbc:derby:classpath:/Xtreme"; String driverName = "org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"; String userName = "dbuser"; // TODO: Fill in database user String password = "dbpassword"; // TODO: Fill in valid password String query = "SELECT CUSTOMER_NAME FROM APP.CUSTOMER WHERE COUNTRY = 'Australia'"; String tableAlias = "FINANCIALS"; // TODO: Change to correct table alias JRCHelperSample.passResultSet(clientDoc, fetchResultSet(driverName, connectStr, userName, password, query), tableAlias, ""); } } // Store the report document in session session.setAttribute(reportName, clientDoc); } { // Create the CrystalReportViewer object CrystalReportViewer crystalReportPageViewer = new CrystalReportViewer(); // set the reportsource property of the viewer IReportSource reportSource = clientDoc.getReportSource(); crystalReportPageViewer.setReportSource(reportSource); // set viewer attributes crystalReportPageViewer.setOwnPage(true); crystalReportPageViewer.setOwnForm(true); // Process the report crystalReportPageViewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, application, null); } } catch (ReportSDKExceptionBase e) { out.println(e); } %><%! // Simple utility function for obtaining result sets that will be pushed into the report. // This is just standard querying of a Java result set and does NOT involve any // Crystal JRC SDK functions. private static ResultSet fetchResultSet(String driverName, String connectStr, String userName, String password, String query) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException { //Load JDBC driver for the database that will be queried Class.forName(driverName); Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectStr, userName, password); Statement statement = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY); //Execute query and return result sets return statement.executeQuery(query); }%>Try using the code generated from the wizard to see if it works for you as well.

How do I create more than one navigation button in Adobe Fireworks CS6?

Hi guys,
Apologies if this comes across as very stupid question. I am a complete beginner with Adobe Fireworks and I'm in the process of creating my first website and I have got to the stage where I want to create navigation buttons and the book I have recommends using Adobe Fireworks so I have downloaded. My problem I have encountered is after I have created my first two state button what is the next step to create another two state button which has the identical size and colour of the previous two state button?
Here is a brief rundown of the steps I have done to do the first two state button:
1) Edit-Insert-New Button
2) Chose the rectangle and then specified the width and height of the button and chose my stroke and fill colour
3) Centred the button and used the text tool to put the button as a 'Home' button for my website. I then went on Window and Align in order to centre the text on the button
4) I went on Select-Select All and then went on Windows-States to open the states panel. I right clicked on state 1 which is Up and clicked on copy to states. I then selected the next state radio button and clicked OK.
5) I selected State 2 and slightly modified it by changing the colour of the text.
6) I then clicked the back button to return to the main window.
After this what step should I take to create my another button which has the same size, colour and text style as I have created for the first button? I tried just repeating these steps again but when I do step 1 it creates a new fireworks document which means I have to create the buttons size, colour, text style from scratch.
Your help would be greatly appreciated guys and once again I do apologise if this comes across as a silly question.
PS Please could you let me know if the steps I have taken to create the 1st two state button are correct

Initially you need to configure via the provider's own web based control panel multiple e-mail accounts. If they don't have one, work it out with their customer support to have three distinct mail accounts. Then you can setup multiple logins by adding new accounts to mail. Since mail checks all accounts per Mac OS X user account simultaneously, it probably is best to use different usernames on the same internet provider. If you don't want mail to show all the information from all three mail accounts simultaneously, configure Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts to have multiple users on your computer, and configure each of the internet service provider accounts for each separaet user on Mac OS X.

Adding Navigation Buttons for Users of PDF Documents

The default for Acrobat Reader (and even the Pro version)
seems to leave the Forward and Back navigation buttons OFF the
Acrobat Reader tool bar. You have to deliberately go into the Tools
- Customize Tools menu and turn on these two buttons in order for
them to appear in the tool bar. This creates problems for readers
of your PDF documents if the readers of your documents aren't very
computer savy. If you have links in your PDF document so readers
can navigate around, not having the Forward and Back buttons up on
the tool bar as a default makes these links almost useless. The
reader has to know how to turn these two buttons on and some
readers may not have a clue how to do that.
My question: Is there a way to put 2 navigation buttons on a
reader's toolbar AUTOMATICALLY when they open your document--ie,
something embedded in the PDF doc that automatically turns these
buttons on for the reader so they don't have to do it
themselves?

Thank you for your post. These forums are specific to the
Acrobat.com website and its set of hosted services, and do not

How can I replace navigation buttons with obvious ones?

Here's the web page: http://josephskibell.com/. I've just taken over this website for a friend and opened it in Dreamweaver but the code is such that the existing four little square navigation buttons at the top of the page don't show up in design view (these change the book images). The client wanted some more "obvious" buttons there because people are not understanding that those little squares are buttons. Arrows may work better. Can anyone advise?
thanks

Open scroll_buttons.css.
The image sprite used is here:
http://josephskibell.com/images/navigator.png
My advice is to make a bigger sprite and change height and width sizes in your CSS code.
