Hi All
We have built an online learning module that allows the learner to click on external links (say to look up a system process flowchart) and then return to the flash file to continue stepping through the guided learning activity. The guided learning includes lots of Page Up and Page Down instructions because the application pages they are so long:(
( Btw scrolling is not a satisfactory solution to moving around the application pages)
Problem is that when they access the external content via the browser, and return to the flash file, when they then try to use Page Up or Page Down to continue, focus has been lost and nothing happens.
Any practical solutions to this problem?
Much appreciated.

Hi there
Perhaps as a matter of course you can stage a button to appear when the user clicks to view external content?
I'm thinking that if you did this it would force the user to click to continue. Clicking would then shift focus back to the Captivate.

Hi Rick
This is a start - will do further testing. My only concern is that this 'Resume' button might have to be forward stage and therefore if always available could interfere with the interactive application running on that screen.
You suggested that the button would only appear if the user clicked on an external link....hmmm....so perhaps a javascript piece is attached to the buttons which access external content. That javascript displays a 'Resume' button to the user. Is that what you were suggesting?
I have no Java knowledge but we can have the script built if that is the way to go.
Thanks

Hi agin
I wasn't suggesting JavaScript. My thought pattern was to suggest perhaps clicking the button to open the external link would release the pause from the Click Box or Button you used to initiate things. Then you might have a button staged to appear at a later time.
Cheers... Rick
