Open URL from a Captivate generated MP4

Hello all,
I am putting together an instructional video (.mp4) using Captivate 5.5, the video will be targeting iOS users.
I will need to provide a way to open some webpages while the end user is playing the mp4 file. My thought was to include a button with an assigned action to "Open URL or file" and specify the URL.
This does not seem to work after publishing to mp4 format. Is that feature not supported in Captivate mp4 files? Or did I forget a step maybe? Is there a workaround to achieve the same result?
I'd appreciate any input on this.

Hi there
Unless something has changed recently, it is my understanding that MP4 is strictly a video format and does not support hyperlinking or other types of interactivity.
Cheers... Rick

Open url from xchat in opera

I'd like to open urls from xchat in opera.
Under settings>advanced>url handler:
!opera -remote 'openURL(%s)'
xchat has tcl as an optional dep, so I installed that.
This is in xfce4 and I have set opera as the preferred browser.

Well, I'm afraid that is not an option.
The goButton is in a table row. There are lots of rows so if I use EL for Destination attribute the URL would be retrieved for each of rows.
The method of URL retreiving is heavyweight operation which includes calling plsql functions, working with strings and others. So if I do it for each table row my application hungs and then I receive an exception of CPU usage.
That's why I switched to normal commandButton witch actionListener which retrieves url on click - only once. So I need to open URL from Java.

Open URL from Java in a new browser tab

Hi OTN,
Surprisingly can't find the implimintation.
In an ADF managed bean I retrieve String url. I need to open a new browser tab with this url.
Found this thread Open a url in a new window in the backing bean which shows using javascript "service.addScript(facesContext, "window.open(http://www.google.coml)");".
But in my case in doesn't work. The code is executed, but nothing happens. Maybe because the bean is called from a taskflow inline popup.
ADF 11.1.1.4
Thanks.

Captivate 4 Open url from a button not working?

Hi All,
I have published a scorm course from captivate 4 and have installed to our servers. I would like to have a link to a document that is online (.doc) but whenever I click the transparent button it starts to load, opens a window (which has the correct title name) but then disappears with no warning or error message.
The link resides behind a transparent button, and has the settings On Success open url or file in a new window. I know the problem is not specific to this document because I have had the same problem with a completly different online file location in the past.
Please Help!!
Many thanks in advance.
Chris Maile

Hi there
Please send me a private E-Mail message to rstone75 (at) kc (dot) rr (dot) com and advise of the exact file name of the file you are linking to.
I'll send you back a file that you can use to test and see if the link works.
Cheers... Rick

Open URL from Excel or Word in individual tabs - Automator??

Okay so here is what I am trying to achieve -
I have to open a series of URLs which have 2 values that change within the URL daily. I am looking for a way to automate the process of opening. these URLs
I already have an excel format with the updating URLs so they automatically will generate the correct URL for that day, but when I click the hyperlink it will take at least 5 seconds to load them, and it will only open the last once click. So if I click 5 in a row, the 5th will be the only one to open.
I've searched for ways to have Safari open each in a serate tab and Safari and Excel just don't seem to play well in that manner. I have also looked into ways to have automator take the cells and open them, but I am unable to find a way to get the URLs from the clipboard into Safari.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this task takes me nearly 30 minutes daily due to the amount of URLs when it should be something that is easily automated.

You didn't mention which version(s) of Word and Excel were used to create the documents, or which version(s) you're using/trying to use on your Mac.
If it's (Windows) Office 2003 or earlier, Microsoft released a metadata management tool that might help you understand, and perhaps edit some of the metadata there now. The tool is available for (free in the US, at least) download here --> http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA011400341033.aspx
It is possible that 'read-only' status was set in some version of the file (perhaps copied to a CD at some point?), and remains set to 'read-only'. One fix is to open it (in Windows) and clear the read-only status. Windows discussion here --> http://ask-leo.com/whycant_i_open_thisfile.html
Another possibility is to try opening the documents with a different program (OpenOffice, iWorks Pages, iWorks Numbers) that can open and read many versions of Word and Excel files.
In my experience with earlier versions of OpenOffice, I've had problems with formatting changing (e.g. text document fonts and formats) when I've opened documents with OpenOffice and then attempted to re-save them in Word (doc or docx) format. I don't recall using OpenOffice with Excel files. I'm not currently using OpenOffice, so I can't say whether the problem was fixed or not.

Unable to open url from email

suddenly today i am unable to open url link from my eudora mail program. firefox is my default browser. never had this problem before.

This could be a Launch Services issue. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services — the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
The most appropriate utility for this particular problem probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Go to Maintenance > Reset and check LaunchServices database.
4. Un-check any other pre-checked options.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.
BTW, if you’re running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), as your profile indicates, it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance.

How submit opener window from a PDF generating jsp

Hi All
I have a parent JSP & onclick button, need to open a child window, which generate's PDF. Once successfully generated PDF, may be child or parent should display a message stating STATUS, if user select YES / NO, (according to user selection) database tables will be updated/inserted.

thanks in advance
balmiki

HI Ceci
Sorry that you could not understand... again I shall explain to you
1) I have a main window... & on click of button in it, open's a popup wndow.
popup_win('ChildWindow.jsp?'+sQry,600,650)2) this popup wnidow calls java API's & generates PDF in the browser. Though it generates PDF in the browser so no javascript works.
isPrinted = bizPassbookTrxn.printPassbookTrxn(response, sAcctNo, sClientNo,sPassbookNo, sFundId, iRowCount, sFormNarrative, sUserName, isPrinted); if(isPrinted){
out.println("<SCRIPT>");
out.println(" var sQry = 'acctno="+sAcctNo + "&clientno="+ sClientNo +"&passbookno="+sPassbookNo+"&fundid="+sFundId+"&formnarrative="+sFormNarrative+"&rowcount="+iRowCount+"&userName="+sUserName+"&isPrinted="+isPrinted+"&mode="+sMode+"&opMode=print';");
out.println("opener.document.passbookTrxnForm.action='ParentWindow.jsp?'+sQry;");
out.println("opener.document.passbookTrxnForm.submit();");
out.println("</SCRIPT>");
3) Peoblem is... I want to diplay a confirmation message to the user whenever he generates the PDF.
4) I know display message is not possible in popup window ...so I tried submiting parent window as above... but no result...
how can I display message in parent window?
hope u can understand now...

balmiki

Open url from top navigation bar in work area

Hi.
I added in top navigation bar one link (component CRMCMP_HDR_STD, view MESSAGE). How i would like to show content of that url in workarea of web ui window.
I know that I can call url with href, but the problem is that this url content is then shown in that top navigation bar which is very small. I also know how to show that content in new window.
But as I said Iwant to show it in workarea window. Like for example if you click on Personalization link in navigation bar.
I checked how this Personalization call works in standard but it is somewhove hardcoded.
Any ideas? Help will be appreciated.

I would have even bettter requirement. I developed Z component. And I want to call this Z component from navigation bar link (component CRMCMP_HDR_STD, view MESSAGE).
But as I said, I don't want to open that Z compoennt instead of CRMCMP_HDR_STD component in top bar, but in workarea. The requirement is similar as when you would click on any option in left navigation bar, which then opens component in workarea. But I don't want to launch my Z component from left navigation bar (which I know how to use), but from top navigation bar.
Help appreciated.

Open url from my application??

Hi guys,
I'm using jdev 10.1.2 and adf bc's. In my application i have a table which stores links for a number of websites. So I have a jsp which lists all the records from this table. When the user clicks on the link, the relevant page should open up in a new browser.
here's the code:
<a href ="<c:out value="${Row['Link']}"/>" target="_blank"><c:out value="${Row['Link']}"/></a>
The problem is that while the href has the value of the link, it tries to launch the link from my application so that the URL is:
http://10.64.102.92:8990/Trademarks-View-context-root/www.google.ie
instead of just http://www.google.ie
any ideas of how to remove the part preceeding the address would be most welcome.
thanks in adavance,
newbe.

sorry, problem solved. i just had to put http:\\ in front of the value of the c:out

Open URL from frame

I have to use simple text or label as a hyperlink to open a new url.. I would appreciate any snippet or widget through which i can get an idea how normal text can be turned into hyperlink...AND Is it possible to open a url in a new browser window from a frame?! Any suggestion?

The last, pure HTML question first.
click hereIn a read-only (setEditable(false)) text component that uses HTML, you can add a hyperlink listener, but it might be sufficient to load an URL on a click (JButton).
For that I would suggest the following:
JTextPane textarea = new JTextPane();
textarea.setEditable(false);
// Inside the actionPerformed click event:
textarea.setPage("http://...");Of course that is without external browser.

Opening URL from Form

Anybody has any idea of how to open an url (or webpage) from a webform in the same window. I cannot use Web.Show_Document() as it opens the webpage in a new window.
Thanx in advance.

Taken from help
SHOW_DOCUMENT(url, target);
Built-in Type: unrestricted procedure
Enter Query Mode: yes
Description:
Specifies the URL and target window of a Web application.
Parameters:
url Datatype is VARCHAR2. Specifies the Uniform Resource Locator of the document to be loaded.
target Datatype is VARCHAR2. Specifies one of the following targets:
_SELF Causes the document to load into the same frame or window as the source document.
PARENT Causes the target document to load into the parent window or frameset containing the hypertext reference. If the reference is in a window or top-level frame, it is equivalent to the target self.
_TOP Causes the document to load into the window containing the hypertext link, replacing any frames currently displayed in the window.
_BLANK Causes the document to load into a new, unnamed top-level window.
Restrictions:
Can only be used from within a form run from the Web.
Example:
** Built-in: WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT
** Example: Display the specified URL in the target window.
BEGIN
Web.Show_Document(http://www.abc.com, _self);
END;

Cannot Open URL from SWF

I'm sure this has been covered and that the solution is
simple, but I am at a loss.
I cannot get a URL to open from my SWF file using either a
click box or button, although it works perfectly fine when I
publish to an EXE.
Is there an internet security option that would affect this?
I have no problem opening other movies or files.
This is most frustrating. Any suggestions?

Hi tykebrahe
What are the
exact steps you are following? In addition to knowing about
them, what is the
exact URL you are typing?
It's been my experience that this works just fine from either
.SWF output or .EXE output. But I'm hopeful that knowing the
answers to my questions may help you to resolve the issue.
Cheers... Rick
