hyperlinked document in Engage

Hi Roman,

This is due Engage 13 not supporting file hyperlinks, but if you need to hyperlink to a file, upload it to a web server, then link to the file's URL. (Free file storage is offered by many online services, such as Amazon, Dropbox, Microsoft, and Google.)

Thats a step backward in functionality

:-(

Hi Roman,

I'd encourage you to submit a feature request about it. 

Ashley-

I have an Engage 09 FAQ file where I am linking to PDF docs saved on a web server for more details on each topic in the FAQ.  I publish the Engage file and insert the SWF into a html page.  I'm learning that some of my users are experiencing just a flashing screen when they click on the links from Engage - the document never opens.  Sometimes they can open the first document but nothing else and others can't open anything. They have Adobe Reader 9 - do you know if this is an issue?   I can link to html file without any problems... any help is appreciated.

Hi Deb,

How the linked PDF documents open will be based on the learners' browsers and settings (open in Acrobat or within a new browser window), but I wanted to point you to this screenr by David Anderson on how to link to documents within Engage 09:

Hi Deb,

The new version doesn't seem to be able to do that... how can we add a link to a file other than add it to a server?

Thanks

Chantal

Hi Chantal and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

Did you see Ashley's response above:

Hi Leslie,

Yes I did but I was hopping that an other solution was develop as this post was in 2013.

Thanks

No problem Chantal.
