Hello Everyone,

I would like to have Captivate 8 open a url in a new window when a button is clicked on. It works when I preview the window, but now when the project is published. Any ideas?

Thanks again!

    Hi Rick,

    Unfortunately, I did not find an answer on the link you sent me, but thank you anyway.  Any other suggestions?

    The answer I intended for you to see was number 4. Most often what we see is that after publishing (specifically to SWF format) links fail when you are testing from the published location on your hard drive. What happens is that the Flash Player sees links as these as a security threat to your system and it blocks them and prevents them from working. Once you copy the content to a web server and test from there, the links work.

    What is your output format? If it's Flash SWF, try copying the content to a web server and test. Or, if you really want to test from your local drive, adjust the security settings (there is a link in what I pointed to that shows you how to do that)

    Cheers... Rick
