Open other Project: New, Parent, Top

Question

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 EllefsonYou asked what the differences were between Current, New,Parent and Top.These options control the way links behave. Primarily, whenyou output to .SWF format. They really have little meaning if youare outputting to .EXE format.Let's assume you are inserting a Button or Click Box objectthat is programmed to visit http://www.google.com when clickedupon by your user.Current: The google page would totally replace the Captivatemovie 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 ifyou were displaying your Captivate movie from inside a frameset. Asa result, these options are seldom (if ever) used.Hopefully this helps a bit... Rick
