Problem with opening URL (articulate) file in Captivate 3

Hi,
I created a Captivate 3 file, hoping to link an Articulate .html file if I click on a button.
I created a text button:
On success: open URL or file
URL: Z:\Tutorial\WebsiteTutorialReviewandSurvey_09_03_10\quiz.html
If I publish this file, I am able to play this file on my computer or any computer that is mapped to this drive. However, when I open the file on other machines, where this drive is not mapped, then the file cannot be opened. The file will be sent to other users who will not have access to my local drives, so I'm not sure how to set up my URL directory.
Can someone please help???
- is it the directory? "Z:\"
- I've also changed that to start off as \\servername\Tutorial\WebsiteTutorialReviewandSurvey_09_03_10\quiz.html = this also does not work
Thank you so much!

Hi, You most likely will find help at this Forum:

Also when you first open your thread here on the Flash Forum, you'll see a section to the right "More like This" that may be helpful as well.

Problem with opening a indd file in CC 2014.

When I'm trying to open a 5.5 .indd-file in CC 2014 on my Windows computer, I get this error message: 'Either the file does not exist or you do not have permission to open it or the file is used by another program'. However my collague has no problem with opening the document on his Mac computer. I guess it has something to do with a kind of setting in my CC 2014. Can anyone help me?

Nothing to do with ID. It really means what it says - your file permissions are hosed and it being an ID file this could include things like fonts or placed images referenced within it.

Problem with Open URL: Adobe Captivate 4

I am using Adobe Captivate 4. I have a simple slide in the middle of my video that contains three text buttons--two of them "jump to another slide" when the user clicks them. The third is set to open a URL.
When I preview the video, this all works perfectly. However when I publish, the "open URL" button does not work.
Any ideas?

Firefox problems with Open URL vi

I am using Open URL in Default browser to display the contents of a file.
If IE is the default browser and the file is xyz.htm it works but not if the file is xyz.html.
On the other hand if Firefox is the default browser it works if the file is xyz.html but not if the file is xyz.htm.
One further "quirk" with Firefox is that Firefox must be running for the file to display. If Firefox is not running Firefox starts but then instead of displaying the file I want it goes to a web site that sells Czech language books!
Is there any way I can resolve these differences? Can I find out what is the default browser? Can I see if Firefox is already running? Any suggestions?
Note: this is all in windows. I haven't tried it yet in Mac OS.
David

I think you're referring to the "Open URL in Default Browser" that you access from the Function Palette->All Functions->Application->Help subpalette. That VI is a simple wrapper around the "Open URL in Default Browser core" VI. Basically, to get it to work with Firefox you need to bypass the "Search and Replace" operation that it's doing, and then append a space to the URL that you enter and feed that directly to the "Open URL in Default Browser core" VI:
This will still work if IE is the default browser

Problem with opening MS Excel files through Portal

Hi All,
I have a user that is complaining about the behaviour of MS Excel files in the Portal. The MS Excel files do not match their behaviour at the windows level. The issue has to do with how MS Excel files never seem to open in a maximized sate when you open them from the portal. The same cannot be said about MS Word files. The behaviour of MS word files is consistent between windows and portal.
Solutions will be REWARDED.
Thanks & Regards,
Krishnen Subramanian.

Hi Hussain,
I hav uploaded the excel file into my KM contentafter that when i try to open it , it does not open as maximized.
Let me explain:
I create a new excel file on my desktop:
I open this file:
I maximize the workbook and save:
I close Excel and then open the file right back up:
I notice that Excel and the workbook open up maximized. I close Excel again.
I now upload the file to the portal:
I then open the file from here:
It is noticed that the Excel is not maximized. We would like for it to behave as it does from the desktop. In other words, if it is saved as maximized, it should open from the portal that way. If it is saved as half way open, it should open that way from the portal.
I have found that MS Word documents behave in the portal as they do on the desktop. I create an MS Word file on my desktop:
There appears to be something portal related that prevents MS Excel files from opening maximized.
Hope you will be abl to solve the message.
Thanks & Regards,
Krishnen Subramanian.

Problem with opening the .fmx file through hyperlink

I am trying to open a .fmx file through hyperlink. After clicking on the hyperlink a dilogue box opens up and asks for "open from the remote server", "save on the local disk" and cancel. If I click on open the .fmx file opens up and applications starts working.
Problem is "I do not want this dialogue box to be opened after clicking on the hyperlink". I tried to change the mime type and changed the setting of Internet explorer. But it does not work.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

whever i refresh the entire application in the tomact then its been recognizedMaybe you're creating and downloading it asynchronously so that the creation of the file isn't finished yet while you're about to download it.

Problem with opening various text files in notepad through java

Hi friends,
I need to open any .txt file in notepad by running the code in Java.I could open the notepad through java but not a perticular file.I dont even want to hard code my program that only one perticular file will open through it.I want it generalised...if anyone could help me,it would be really nice...
thanks
Vishal.

If your program opens notepad I'll delete it because I set UltraEdit as my default editor. So if you already must use system-specific code, how about grabbing a Windows manual to find out how to use the editor registered for these files? (Hint "start").

Problems with Opening URL in Captivate 5

Hi, we are trying to use a URL in our course and have tried the following ways:
Adding URL to a click box
Adding URL to Button
Adding URL to Advanced Action and Executing the Advanced Action
When we do this, the URL works in the Preview, but it never works in the published version.
The link is fine, we have tested this, and the buttons and click boxes are also fine in the preview, the issue is in the published version.
Is there any solution to this?
Thanks,
Sarah

If you are testing this published content from a folder on your hard drive or a network LAN, then the reason the link is not working will be that you have not set up the publish folder as a trusted location in Flash Global Security.

Problem with opening a dmg downloaded file.

I have a problem with opening a dmg file type. Example. I down loaded an update for Onyx. The download is placed on my destop. OnyX.dmg. When I click the file, disk utility opens up. I click OnyX.dmg and it attaches the image. I then have the OnyX disk image on my desktop. I click on OnyX.pkg and get the message "There is no default application specified to open the document "OnyX.pkg"
I remember when I 1st installed the program months ago. I just dragged the icon to the applications folder and was done.

There is something rather odd with your defaults for opening things. Double clicking a .dmg file should cause it to mount automatically using DiskImageMounter, and double clicking a .pkg file ought to cause Installer to run. DiskImageMounter is here:
/System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter
and the Installer is here:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Installer
You can use GetInfo to assign those programs to those file types. You might consider fixing your LaunchServices database. See the discussion thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5744911
Using OnyX is probably the easiest solution.

Problem with opening of PDF in my webmail application

I have a problem with opening a pdf file in my webmail application of my internet provider in apple safari since yesterday. When I wanted to open up a pdf file I got a pop up message to allow a connection between adobe and the webmail application which I did. Since then I can not open up a pdf file. If I go to another browser or if I use email from another internet provider I use too it works and I can open up. It seems to be a blockage of the specific combination of this webmail application and safari.
What can I do ?

Hi Rajesh,
This could be Security Zones problem as you are accessing your IView directly through URL.
