Problems opening URL in QTX
I'm not able to open any video from URL in Quicktime X. I've read every help file I can find and I can't seem to get it to work. It completely freezes when I put a URL in and click open. Any help is appreciated.
Absolutely, thanks for responding: here is one of the URLs I've been trying to connect to: http://bglive-a.bitgravity.com/twit/live/high. I open QTX, go to open URL, type in the URL and click open and then it freezes until I force quit and it sends an error report.
Best.

Problem opening urls from click box
Hi
I'm having trouble launching a file from a click box. I enter
the url and de-select contine running project. I test the link in
Preview and it works fine. However when I publish the file the
click box doesnt work. I click it a few times and eventually all
that happens is the next slide appears. Something that shouldnt
happen at all.
I've tried using buttons instead, again it works in preview
but not when I publish the course. I have also tried selecting and
de-selecting the continue running project box.
Anyone had a similar problem? Know of a solution?Hi ntompkins
Often we see issues when attempting to run the project from
your local PC. Could be Flash Security settings. If that's the
case, see if the tutorial linked below helps.

here to view the tutorial
Note that this only affects playback on the local PC. If you
are planning on copying the files to a web server and your users
will be running from there, you don't have much to be concerned
with. If your intent is for each user to copy the files to their
local C: drive and run from there, you then have concerns. But
there are workarounds if this is the case.

Hello.
I am having a weird problem when trying to test a movie or publish preview -> flash on mac with Leopard os.
The result is a blank movie with the usuall "movie not loaded" if u right click on it and the output returns the "Error opening URL 'the path of the swf here'.
This has nothing to do with loading external files or something like that. It happens even in blank movies and it gives the same error if I try to open a swf from flash ide.
I can publish the project or export the movie with no problem at all.
I can preview the movie in html. I can run all the swf files in my hard disk, network, usb stick, dvd etc., but when I try to open any of these files from flash ide I got that stupid error.
Its not something that stops me from working in flash ide but its slow to export movie any time I want to test it.
Things that I've tried so far but nothing worked:
Update the flash cs4 to the latest version
Update the flash players
Restored the release flash player as default player (I am using as default the debug player)
Cleared the preferences
Move the flash cs4 folder to another location in hd
Saved the fla document first before testing the movie (in different places with or without spaces in document name or folder)
Give read & write permissions for everyone for flash.app, players and for fla files when saved first before test movie
Unistall and install the application 3-4 times.
Test every as version just in case.
Also I've checked the folders when testing movie and I can see that it creates an swf file, which I can run it outside flash ide (the one that the flash ide player cannot load) with no problem.
The mac os has the default set up as it came. Nothing chnaged in permissions or security settings.
Thanx in advance.In this particular example I am using this code to start the
xml file load:
// now load the XML file that contains the content strings
var sXMLFile:String = "xml/home.xml";
var xmlContent:XML = new XML();
xmlContent.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlContent.onLoad = onXMLLoadComplete;
xmlContent.load( sXMLFile );
But I don’t think the code is the problem here . This
happens on every file I load when I am using a relative path to the
content, regardless of how I load the content (XML object,
loadMovie, MovieClipLoader, etc…) and the same code executes
perfectly on every other machine in the office(Mac and PC).
I’m more concerned with the semi-colons and .swf filename
that Flash is putting into my relative path on the error message.
Is that normal? -
We have a Captivate course (published as a SWF file) with a
imagebutton at the end. The user clicks it and then we want another
SWF file to load. We can get this to work fine via the "open URL or
file" action when the SWF is located on a server (
http://localhost/myfile.swf).
But when we deploy to run this off a CD, the browser window will
open via the filesystem (file:///D:/myfile.swf). In this instance
we cannot get the Open URL to work.
Remembering that not all CD drives are the "D" drive we
cannot hard-code that link in. We tried referencing the next file
(which is in the same directory) with "myfile2.swf",
"/myfile2.swf", "./myfile2.swf". We wrote some javascript that
would determine the local HREF to get the path. All of those
methods WORK when the SWF file is on a server (e.g. "localhost").
None of them work when viewing the webpage (SWF) thru the
filesystem (e.g. "file:///D:/")
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to get around this
issue? (If my explanation of the problem is not clear I would be
happy to provide more info)
Thanks,
RandyHi there
It's possible. Could also be the Flash Security silently blocking the link. To see if that's the case, try what is outlined in the link below.
Click here
If that cures it, you have to consider a way past it for your users. One way past it is to use a small web server. The steps for that are below:
Download the Server2Go software from http://www.server2go-web.de/download/download.html
Choose the Micro package
This should result in receiving a zip file named distribute_apache1.3_micro.zip
Unzip the contents of the zip file to the root of your hard drive ( C:\ )
This should create a folder named distribute_apache1.3_micro
Open this folder and delete the following files and folders inside:
Files:
splash.bmp
logo.ico
readme.txt
Folders:
dlls
dbdir
cgi-bin
Open the htdocs folder and delete all files and folders inside.
Copy all of your Captivate output files to the htdocs folder
Rename the HTML page Captivate created to index.htm
Copy the contents of the distribute_apache1.3_micro folder to the CD-ROM and test!
Hopefully this was helpful... Rick

Problem with Yahoo Maps..."Error Opening URL..."
I am trying to use a yahoo Action Script 2.0 map to display real estate listings from an xml file. I often receive the following output error, which prevents the entire yahoo map from opening:
Error opening URL ‘http://maps.yahooapis.com/xml/apiconfig.xml?r=988’ (the last 3 digits are random and change each time the problem occurs)
I have searched the internet for a solution and cannot find one.
I have emailed yahoo, who has not responded, as well as other people who have had the problem, but they cannot remember what they did to solve it.
Please help!No, I'm not doing anything to handle security issues.
What I have done is downloaded all the .as files that yahoo uses for their maps (from http://modestmaps.mapstraction.com/trac/browser/trunk/reference/YahooMaps/com/yahoo/maps?r ev=6), including the xml file (http://maps.yahooapis.com/xml/apiconfig.xml).
What I am thinking, correct me if I'm wrong, if I go through all the class files and change their names from "com.yahoo.maps.insertscriptname1.as" to something defining my own server (ie. mikeraydesign.maps.insertscriptname1.as), and point to the xml file from the one .as file that points to the one with the security issue, this might work.
I don't know if it will, but I don't think it can hurt. What do you think?
Regardless, lets say I put all the files into my own folder on my server, (ie. www.mikeraydesign.ca/maps/), how would I go about importing those scripts from my fla? The fla needs to import 4 initial classes, which then point to all the others (in the link I have above). How do you point to online class files? Would this even work?
Thoughts? -
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.
DavidI 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 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:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_captivate/adobe_captivate_general?view=discussions &start=0
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 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?Hi there

Unable to open URL attachment from SBWP in CRM WEB UI
Hello Gurus,
Need your help please. I'm having some problem opening the URL attachment from SBWP via CRM 7 WEB UI (I used a Transaction Launcher for SBWP). The attachment is a Webdynpro application. I am able to open the attachment in SAP GUI, but not in CRM WEBUI. This problem occured when we update the SP level of CRM 7.
Here's the scenario,
- whenever I click the attachment, it open a new window, which also happen even before SP level update, with the following information:
Execute an Application on FrontEnd
Please wait. You will be forwarded automatically.
This page is included for technical reason.
Execute program.
Status: Displaying Office Document ..........
After a couple of seconds, it will return to the Workflow Workplace screen.
I have checked the workflow log and found no inconsistency on the attached URL.
Immediate response would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
EdwinThanks for the reply WD ABAP.
Yes, I did try to use the functionality of Worklist and the URL attachment successfully opened. However, there are some limitation in its functionality as indicated in the link below that opted us to use the SBWP in CRM WEB UI via transaction launcher.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/CRMWorklist-AdvancewithDialognotSupported
We don't want to adjust the logic of our existing workflow at this point as described in the above link as it will entails end-to-end testing again. We just encountered this issue when we update the SP level of CRM 7.
Hope there is an alternative solution without shifting us to Worklist.
Regards,

Open url in a new browser via a button
I have created a button within a region and set request='go'. I then have a branch that when request='go', it branches to a url. Is there a way to open a new window when it branches to that url? Basically, I'm trying to open a new browser to go to a specified url when a button is clicked.
Yes no problem,
call an javscript function, which open the new window. that function can get as parameter the item value (eg. the URl text)
function callMyPopupTest(url)
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=1100,height=350");
if (w.opener == null) w.opener = self;
w.focus();
this should work
In this excample the URL is static for the button.
If not you have to solve the problem inside the javscript function with getting the value of the item (the url text)
document.getElementById('P21_URL').value;
for that the javascript function parameter has to be the id(eg. name: P21_URL).
hope that helps

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 MaileHi 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.

Edited by: LAKSHMI_NARAYAN_J on Jun 23, 2008 9:54 AMIt's called potential deadlock. The emulator blocks your app 'cause any connection and commandAction needs its own thread. So I suggest use a new thread with this http connection then your program will be run successful.

Error opening URL Error on a Mac
So is this happening to anyone else?
I do a test movie from my Mac and when the movie I’m
testing needs to load an external file I get the following error
message:
Error opening URL
"ETC:Users:michael:Current:cvs:Gigapets:launch:banner_main.swf/xml/home.xml"
This happens on my Mac alone mind you, everyone else's in the
office works fine.
It doesn’t matter if I am loading an xml file through
the XML object, or a swf or jpg file through the loadMovie
functions, it always gives me this error when I load files with a
relative path on my local machine.
I am running Flash 8 on OS 10.3.9In this particular example I am using this code to start the
xml file load:
// now load the XML file that contains the content strings
var sXMLFile:String = "xml/home.xml";
var xmlContent:XML = new XML();
xmlContent.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlContent.onLoad = onXMLLoadComplete;
xmlContent.load( sXMLFile );
But I don’t think the code is the problem here . This
happens on every file I load when I am using a relative path to the
content, regardless of how I load the content (XML object,
loadMovie, MovieClipLoader, etc…) and the same code executes
perfectly on every other machine in the office(Mac and PC).
I’m more concerned with the semi-colons and .swf filename
that Flash is putting into my relative path on the error message.
Is that normal? -

ChristoHi,
It looks like problem /tmp file system. Generally contents in this file system are temporary.
I think you have to start the installation again but this time I would suggest you to not use /tmp as installation directory.
