Hi again all
Okay, many of you here know I'm a wizard that walks in two
different realms that often are used together. What I mean by this,
is that in addition to being a Certified Adobe RoboHelp instructor
and Adobe Community Expert for RoboHelp, I'm also a Certified Adobe
Captivate instructor and Adobe Community Expert for Captivate.
I was pondering if there might be a way past this whole "Mark
of the beas... er, Mark of the Web thing. I do believe I've
stumbled across a possible solution. However, it will require
having access to either Flash, Swish, Captivate or other
application that is capable of creating a Flash .SWF output. Here's
the deal, I created a little Flash movie that simply opens a
desired .PDF file. I know we often see issues with Captivate when
folks do this, so I often resort to the companion application
called "MenuBuilder". Because the link action is occurring from a
Flash element inside the web page, it seems to work just dandy! If
anyone wants my little test project to see for themselves, just
holler and I'll zip it up and make it available to you for
download. You will need to send me a private E-Mail (rstone75 (at)
kc (dot) rr (dot) com).
Cheers... Rick
