As I said I have published it as . exe and the navigation between chapters works fine but as .app it doesn'tI think its because as you said it is a folder rather than a file such as a .exe.

Is there any way around this?

Sorry.  I'm not a MAC dude.  Hopefully there's one on this forum that might have found a solution for you.

I still wonder how you chose *.app.
Open another project does not give an option to choose .exe or .app files

.exe can be seelcted using Open URL or file but still you cannot choose .app

This might appear a question with obvious answer, but I am not able to find a way out  and thus not able to repro your actual issue.

You don't start the project as an APP, you choose this as one of your publish options:

It basically just creates a self-running executable file with a built-in Flash player that will work on a MAC box.  It's not much different from a Windows EXE publish output of the same project.

I have published the project with a pc as .app and played it on a mac individual chapters are different projects: chapter 1.app, chapter 2.app etc Inside each chapter navigation is fine but the final slide has the button that opens the second chapter wich is an entirely new project named chapter 2.app that navigation doesn't work...

What properties did you set for button in chapter1.app to open another chapter2.app project?

Did you follow do this?-

Create the project on Windows

Publish to .app on windows

Play app on Mac.

I tried this scenario with following project
first slide- Menu

2nd chapter-1. This has 2 click boxes - one set to jump to slide 1 and second to slide 5

Slide 3,4 are slides of chapter 1.

Slide 5- Chapter 2 with two click boxes- one set to jump to slide 1 and second to slide 10 which is chapter 3.

It worked fine for me.

If you are doing something different, please elaborate.

Else, if possible, share your project.

Regards,

vb
