Question

WebObject and location change

I have several WebObjects in my project that are linked to local content at the root level of my Captivate file. If I move the project files to another computer the WebObjects are no longer able to find the local content. They keep looking for the original absolute path. WebObjects don't seem to be able to work with a relative path (even when I type it in manually). Is there a way to fix this? Eventually I will be handing this off to a client at another company.

What is the exact version of Captivate you are using? Previous version of Captivate 7 had issues with relative links. It was resolved in 7.0.1.237. So make sure you have that.

I am also confused by the "Web Object.that are linked to local content".  What kind of content are you referring to?

Yes, I do have that version. The local content are folders with a small web page that has a video embedded in the page. This was done in order to get a video control bar that is always visible (rather than having to rollover the video to see the control bar). I'm not able to use the YouTube widget because the videos are for their private internal use only.

Test it on a web server or scorm cloud. It should work. If it doesn't, can you post a screen shot of the path you provided?
