How to add a Close button

Guest
Jun 17, 2008 Jun 17, 2008
I am creating FlashHelp for an application that uses a touch screen; no keyboard or mouse is available to the user. When help is displayed, it takes over the entire window and provides no ability to close the window. I currently have set up help system to display a Contents and Print button on the toolbar. I need to add a close button so the user can close the help and return to the application. Any suggestions or instructions on how to do this are appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to our community, Laurie

You posted this in the FlashHelp section. Is that your actual output type? If so, you will need to make edits to the FlashHelp using Adobe Flash.

Cheers... Rick

You could also try adding a "Close" link to each topic (using a find-and-replace tool) and use JavaScript to make the link close the help window. Do a Web search for "JavaScript close window," and you'll get a lot of pages explaining how to do this. Would a link work the same as a button in a touch-screen application?
