It still remain a doubt. My engage interaction is embedded in a presentation. I just put ..\FileName
If I publish the engage interaction and I check it stand alone, no problem. But after publishing the entire presentation, where the engage interaction is embedded in, the link did not work.
you really need a hyperlink to the file where it is going to be on your server, it may be best to upload the file and then insert the link once you know where its going to be, any reason why you brought it in as a web object?
I do not use the player, the client wants to have simple button to page back and forward. The problem embedding an Engage interaction directly as slide my button will be overwritten. To resize my interaction the only way I found was this (I include it in order to let the button be visible).
In the screencast of David was told that the link should be ..\, but if I have the files under folder C:\ProjectName\Engage\ what shall I write exactly in my link inside the interaction?
Sorry Phil .. I didn't see your question. If I publish the engage interaction with ..\FileName and I run it locally, it works fine. If I publish it as Scorm leaving ..\ it doesn't work anymore.
Sorry meant to say planning, ignore the question you have already answered it, you need the hyperlink to be the actual place the file will be hosted online, but I think because this is a web object it will need to be a an absolute (the whole path) not a relative path.
I would upload the file online get the path and then insert that, or you could insert as an attachment into articulate and then link to data/download/Yourfilename.pdf (this may not work)
Just watched the screent, In Davids example he uses the .. to move to the parent directory, where do you put the file after you publishing, if you add it to the web object folder, the same place as your index.html file then yourfilename.pdf should would

Important information!
I forgot to specify that my engage interaction (a timeline) is published as web and embedded as webobject in the presentation.
Could this be the reason why it doesn't work?
Silvia
have you tried putting an abosolute link instead, it may be because it is a web object
Hi Phil,
how quick!
Yes, I tried it. I use a structure like this:
C:\ProjectName\Engage\
in the Engage Folder I have the interactions, the folders of published interactions and the pdf files. How should the link appear?
thanks.

Are you planing on just running it locally?
Good question.

What to you mean by planing?

I don't seem to be able to get this to work based on Engage '13. Any advice?
Hi SIM! This is an older thread and was geared toward Studio '09.
I answered a similar post of yours here.
Again, you can check out our tutorial on adding hyperlinks in Engagehere.
