I created a Menu Builder fileand exported the file in
shockwave format. When I open the saved Menu Builder file (not the
shockwave file), I receive a blank screen. Why doesn't the saved
file appear?
Also, I sent the Menu Builder shockwave file and the related course html and shockwave files to another location in my company for testing. When the link in the Menu Builder file is selected, the user receives an error message stating the file cannot be found since it is mapped to my personal drive. Is the only way around this to save all of the files on a share drive and link the menu builder items to the files on the shared drive?

Dear Larry: Perhaps I should start at the beginning.
I created about 8 modules in Captivate and published them. I did
not export them, as I do not have the software to do so. I then
created a Menu Builder file saved it in a new folder on my desktop
with the other files, which have been copied from the network.
There is no publish feature in Captivate, as you mentioned, so I
figure you meant export. When I export the project in html file
format it does not work, even though the check box is selected to
link the project folder. The file will open if I publish it in
shockwave format.
Do I need to export the modules in addition to publishing them? When you say package the files, do you mean just to keep them all in one folder? If so, I've done that. The larger and more pressing problem is that our IT dept. needs to have all of the files and they will reside on a totally different network, to which I do not have write access to. Is there I number where I can call and get some assistance? We've worked very, very hard to meet a very tight deadline and need this to work.

Hi Ruth,
I sense a frustration level just below boiling, screaming, and - heaven forbid - shooting. This happens often - especially when a company purchases software that is new to their people, then promptly starts setting project deadlines.
No matter how easy a software package is to learn, they all have a learning curve and that always seems to be ignored by the complete idiots who proudly announce to their boss that "My people can do that - by Friday!"
My email address is in my profile. Send me a private email and include your 1) phone and 2) location in the U.S.. Also the 3) best hours (your time) to reach you, and 4) a link to this thread. If you are located outside the U.S., we may have a problem - I've already spent my allowance on ice cream and baseball trading cards this month.

Hi Larry
Can you clarify that a wee bit?
I hear you now. WHat? Why dangit, I was perfectly clear!
And in a perfect world, you would be! But this is the world Bill has influenced and is rife with possibilites as well as pitfalls.
My reason for asking is that in the last couple of days I'm seeing tons of confusion surrounding "ActiveX content". It seems we have two distinctly different issues surrounding this term and many folks are becoming confused.
Soooo, was it:
A: The relatively new issue where the person viewing the Captivate movie must first click to activate the control.
or was it:
B: The somewhat older issue where a person is running content on the local PC and trying to link elsewhere and either the Flash Security dialog or the pesky yellow Internet Explorer information bar pops up and blocks content until a chicken has been properly sacrificed to appease the ever watchful Windows Flash deities.
Cheers and happy Friday all... Rick
