Air Help and Hyperlinks

  • July 22, 2009

I have added a number of baggage files and hyperlinked them to text in the topic. I generated Adobe AIR help - result is that some of the links are dead. Is this related to "Mark of the Web"? How do I turn it off in AIR help?

Thanks!

    Hi there

    As I said earlier, MOTW is typically IE specific, so I'm highly skeptical that's the issue. More likely you are dealing with a simple file naming/linking issue. Have you scrutinized the differences between the links that work and those that fail? Are there any potentially odd characters used? Spaces in the file names perhaps?

    Cheers... Rick

    Hi there

    AIR Help is so new that manu of us are still a bit fuzzy with it. We have played with it a bit, but are by no means totally certified expert users!

    I think the Mark Of The Web (MOTW) is unique to Microsoft Internet Explorer and its behavior. Frankly, I'd be shocked if Adobe were to base anything on that proprietary standard. So my guess is that you are looking at something else entirely. For starters, are we even sure that AIR Help supports the concept and operation of Baggage Files? I'd have to research that and test. It could be that it simply wasn't factored into the mix.

    Cheers... Rick

    Just another note: In the Output View when generating AIR Help, there is a reference to "processing Mark of the Web":

    Applying Adobe AIR SSL 1.0 Template...
    ...............................................................................................
    Finished applying Template in 0 sec(s)

    Processing Mark of the Web...
    Finished compiling Adobe AIR output in 5 sec(s)

    There is an option to turn MOTW off when generating Flash and HTML help, but the option does not appear to be available in Adobe AIR. According to some other notes I found regarding broken hyperlinks to baggage files, MOTW might be creating the problem. Ideas welcome -

    Thanks!

    Using RH 8 and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    Also, I have NOT been able to replicate the problem using the original PDF file names.


    I deleted my post on the basis that Rick had solved the problem and what I had in mind was only remotely likely to solve it.
