Problems with "Open other project" in menu builder

Hi everyone,
I have a series of projects that I want to link together
using the menu builder of the "Skin Editor" dialog.
I create my menu items, and for each item choose "Open other
project" in the "On click" dropdown. I then choose the project that
I want the menu item to open. For this example, lets say I chose a
project named "Viewing_Patients"
However, when I publish the project, run it, and then use the
menu to open the next project, it just opens up a browser window
trying to access the URL "
http://Viewing_Patients.htm/
Why is that?
To check my sanity, I created a Click Box in one of the
project's slide where I chose the exact same configuration - "Open
other project" for the "On success" dropdown, and the
"Viewing_Patients" project as the project to open when the box is
clicked.
And this works fine (it opens the "Viewing_Patients" project)
Why is my menu failing but not my click box?
Thanks very much in advance for any help!

Hello Slothrop206,
Try the following steps:
1) Change your Action to be "Open URL or file"
2) Key in the relative URL to the movie you are attempting to
link. If it is in the same directory, simply key in the file name
of the .swf you are attempting to load.
3) Publish and test.
Let us know if this works for you.

  • Problems with opening/creating projects

    Hi all, this is my first post so Welcome
    I have a problem with Photoshop CS4 Extendet. After installing it under Windows 7 when I'm trying to start a new project or open a graphic in Photoshop the only thing which happens is a gray window of project without any graphic, without possibility to work on it etc. I know that graphic is loaded but I can't work on it. When I'm trying to move/large window, it crashes. Here you can see what I see when I load any graphic: http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/6120/61404388.jpg - you can see that photograph is loaded in layers menu section but in window it doesn't appear.
    I have used this Photoshop under Windows 7, even same computer some time ago, but with different hard disc. And then it worked properly without any problems. I don't know why now after installing it I have such problems. What can I do?  Is it a metter of drivers for graphic cards ot something like that? I'm useing the latest drivers for graphic card and all drivers for Windows and it's components are the newest one.
    Here is ma computer specification:
    Processor Intel Core i7  920 2.67GHz, 6GB ram, two graphic cards NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285, motherboard Asus P6T Intel X58 Windows 7 Home edition 64 bit.
    What should I do now?

    As is so often suggested here, check the nVidia web site for updated video drivers for your card.  Chances are very good they have already fixed this problem.

  • Problem with opening recent projects

    Hello all,
    I've been working on a project on FCP since july and I've been saving it to an external HD since then.
    There's been 3-4 other projects I've worked on along the way, and I've tried to keep everything organized and saved properly (I.e. I always set my scratch disk to the external before editing and saving)
    Every once in a while I will open FCP after plugging my external in to edit my project and it will not open in the bin!! When I go to file > open to find the project there are no recently saved projects that I had worked on the day before but instead months ago!
    In short, what happened to my project file? I tried searching my external and even my laptop's HD to look for the most recently modified/saved project but to no avail!
    Is there anyway to retrieve it?? I made many important edits the other day and I hate the idea of starting all over losing months and months of edit time!!

    Problem solved I Found the sequence! It turned up in another project's folder!

  • Imovie, problems with opening a project

    I have imovie '08 and I mistakenly edited a film using this program before realizing how terrible it is. I edited this project and then saved it on an external hard drive. Now I am trying to open it again in imovie (I have also tried importing it) and it is not working. The file is a iMovie Project and I have been able to open up all the clips that this project uses, they are in my "event library."
    I also have the older version on imovie: imovie HD, and I also have Final Cut Pro 6. I got both after I realized this version of imovie is worthless. If there is anyway to bypass the whole imovie '08 problem and just open them up in Final Cut, this would of course be ideal. However, I have not been able to figure this out, and I can't even open up this project in the imovie program that it was uploaded and edited in.
    Thank you for you time and patience,
    Michael

    acelx--
    Maybe if you explained things a little more. . .
    How are you installing your new programs?????
    Do you just open the .dmg file, open up the application's icon and go from there, or
    do you take the application's icon and then drag it into the Application's folder and open
    it from there??? or what?
    Are you just talking about updates??
    I may be way off base, but why are you trying to "make both of the windows show at the same time?"

  • Open other project problem

    Hi,
    have a project  with 4 movies they are linked with open other project button
    but in the executable files when I jump from one project to other there is a close up before open the other project.
    how can I resolve this?
    jv

    Hi there
    It's just the way things work with EXE files. The thing is, an EXE will temporarily install a Flash Player, then play the movie. Then close as the next EXE opens. Unfortunately there is no way for the EXE to remain open and simply load in the content from the new exe into its window because the new EXE is treated as a new instance.
    You might consider suggesting this as an enhancement to the development team. Maybe the Captivate developers can construct a way for things to work differently in a future version.

  • Problem with opening final cut studio3 project files

    hello, i m using final cut studio 3 and it seems it ocured a problem with the projects
    after i work on a project and save it, i can t open it anymore(it apears a dialog box wich it says unable to open project file)
    i ve uninstalled final cut, installed again and the problem it s still there
    cam you give me an advice about what i can do?
    thank you

    Uninstalling/reinstalling rarely helps in issues like these and is usually a huge waste of time... It sounds more like a corrupt project than anything. Is FCP able to open other projects?
    Hopefully you have Autosave turned on, as that  may be your only salvation... So go to your Autosave Vault (usually located in your documents folder, in the Final Cut Pro Documents folder).

  • I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did).

    I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did). But I'd like to use iCloud with iPad.

    Hi Pete. The repair of disk permissions can help resolve  any application crashing or misbehaving.
    As for Lion and the two camps, I think that is a reasonable observation. In my office we have about a dozen Mac's and about one third of those Mac's had problems after updating from 10.6 to 10.7. The main problem for these Mac's was a loss of wifi stability. But for the other two-thirds, Lion was a smooth transition.
    Personally, my Lion experience was fine. But I did get a new i7 MacBook Pro with Lion already installed and only had to migrate my user data from a 10.6.8 TM backup.
    So I think that is a key for Lion's operational success. A clean install of Lion on a new Mac would not cause too many operational issues. But an installation, or more correctly, an update to Lion from SL increased the chances of failure for some users - especially when old software & plugins resided on the Mac. And I would say that they were the people that you saw at the Apple store.
    As for the "latest release of Lion fixed my problems" statement, my experience with these and other forums is that people mostly only go there to complain about the problems they are having. If they are having no problems then they either keep it to themselves or they try to help the users who are experiencing trouble...

  • Open other Project: New, Parent, Top

    To reduce the amount of slides in my project, I was thinking
    of creating a kind of branching action not using Menu Builder, but
    rather using "Open other Project". My goal is to have a page where
    you click one of 4 buttons that will each take you to a separate
    project. Let’s say one button is for a logon process,
    selecting this button will open up the logon process project, play
    it & then return to the page that has the original 4 buttons on
    it. So with this, I have a couple questions. Is my goal feasible?
    What are the differences between the Current, New, Parent, Top
    options? Any suggestions on how I can get this to work?
    Thanks!

    Hi B Ellefson
    You asked what the differences were between Current, New,
    Parent and Top.
    These options control the way links behave. Primarily, when
    you output to .SWF format. They really have little meaning if you
    are outputting to .EXE format.
    Let's assume you are inserting a Button or Click Box object
    that is programmed to visit
    http://www.google.com when clicked
    upon by your user.
    Current: The google page would totally replace the Captivate
    movie the link was clicked from.
    New: The google page would open in a new browser instance.
    Parent and Top: These two options would only ever be used if
    you were displaying your Captivate movie from inside a frameset. As
    a result, these options are seldom (if ever) used.
    Hopefully this helps a bit... Rick

  • Open other project

    Two questions in one day. I'm on a roll..
    I'm running into a problem with the open other project
    function. I've published both projects, and I've got the first
    project set up to call the second. When the first project calls the
    second project, all I get is a blank white square on a web page,
    nothing runs. The URL appears to be correct, I've got the second
    project's .htm file in the same folder as the first project but
    that second project just won't run.
    Is it because the folder's are on a network drive versus the
    desktop? Is the pointer getting lost trying to get to the second
    project?
    Any help is mucho appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Never mind, I just answered my own question. I should have
    read a little deeper into the forums...
    Thanks

  • Open Other Project not closing original file

    Hello All,
    I have a total of 55 exe files that are all accessed through
    one captivate file called "Interface". I am experiencing some
    inconsistent errors with the "Open other project" feature when
    testing this on a computer other than my own. Basically, a user
    will be in the interface file and click on a course they would like
    to take. Let's say for example, they choose to take an interviewing
    course. When they click Interviewing, the interface disappears and
    they see the desktop or sometimes a white screen while Interview is
    being opened. Sometimes, the course never shows up so I use my
    CTL+Alt+Delete/Task Manager to view what has happened and I am
    finding that Interface and Interview are both open and are
    minimized on my toolbar. If the user doesn't use CTL+ALT Delete,
    they would never even know their course opened because for some
    reason they can only see a white screen. Ideally, I would like the
    Interface file to close down as soon as the user clicks on another
    course. I have it set to "Open Other Project" and selected Current
    but still it is keeping the Interface open (sometimes). Again, the
    errors are pretty inconsistent. One day it works perfectly and the
    next day I am getting what I described above. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Kim

    Hi Kim
    It's common that the EXE format doesn't close when opening
    another project. So here's something you may wish to try. Button
    and Click Box objects normally allow the slide to continue playing
    when clicked by the user. Assuming all of them are identically
    timed for the pause, you might simply allow a click on any of them
    to allow the project to continue playing. Then configure the end
    action to be that of closing the project.
    My thought here is that perhaps a click on the object (Click
    Box or Button) will cause the project to continue briefly, then
    terminate. This should close it down. Then at the end of the
    projects you linked to, have their end action to be to open the
    menu back up. Then have them close down.
    Hopefully that makes a bit of sense.
    Cheers... Rick

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How can I open other projects?

    I want to open projects, which ı download in planetsourcecode.com in netbeans or in Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1.
    The problem is that open dialog of JSE or netbeans looks for a directory. And if I try to open the directory which I have downloaded, it doesnt open the project. I tried to do same with my project (made in netbeans) and there was a small sign bottom of the directory icon. And it opened project succesfully. How can I open other projects?

    Probably best to firstly copy the media folder - you could Option/drag it to the desktop. Then open a new project and go File/Import that desktop folder.
    Let us know if that works out for you.

  • Problems with opening Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files

    Hi. We use Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 to convert our product documentation Word files into PDFs. During the last weeks our customers report more and more problems with opening these files. We usually deliver those on a DVD with Acrobat Reader 5 or another older version. (Please don't ask me why we're still on these old versions!) Did anyone experience similar problems with Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files and older versions of the Acrobat Reader? Does Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 work smoothly with the newest Acrobat Reader 9.1 download?
    Please post your comments. Thx a lot - Kay

    I would recommend distributing higher version of Reader as version 5 is just too old but looks like you can't go there.
    Acrobat 9 PDFMaker and Adobe PDF printers by default create PDF 1.5 compaible files. PDF 1.5 compatible files can be opened only in Acrobat 6 and above. That's probably the reason why your customers can't see the contents.
    What you can do is to change your conversion settings to produce PDF 1.4 compatible files:
    - In Word, select Acrobat tab or Adobe PDF menu (depending on your version of Word), select Settings
    - Select "advanced settings" in the dialog that comes up
    - Choose compatibility as "Acrobat 5", PDF 1.4
    IF you print to Adobe PDF printer, you'll find a similar setting in the print dialog.
