So on my slide I am showing a sample of a worksheet document.
The worksheet is actually a two page document and I would like it so that when they hover and/or click on the image of the worksheet, a lightbox, or window, opens up displaying the entire two page document - either as a PDF document or as a full size image of the two documents side by side. The full document is bigger/taller than the height of the slide.
Any tips suggestions or ideas on how I can best accomplish this would be greatly appreciated!!!
I created a link from the image of the file and made it just open the file. It opens it in a new window. Is that what you mean? Your file will need to have either a fixed path or reside in the same directory as the .story file. I attached a small example as a zip.

Hi Brent! I'm trying to recreate this. I have a slide with a map and each segment of the map is a link to a PDF document that opens up in separate windows. How do I enter the URL/file name in the trigger? Do I need a path or can I just enter the name of the document. In Studio '09, I just entered the name of the document with no path and then placed the documents in a folder called Downloads. How does this work in SL? Thanks so much for your help!!!
I usually set the link without a path and then place the document in the same location as the story.html file. This always seems to work though it may not be be best approach. Let me know if you get your project to work.
Hi, is it possible to launch a recorded screen recording in its own window. Currently I am using a button to launch to another scene where my recorded demo is.
Perhaps you could create it as a separate Storyline course that is linked to and launched in a separate window? If you want to let me know what version of Storyline you're using I can include a tutorial on how to add links or embed items like a web object. You can also find all the Storyline tutorials here.

Hi Nicole I struggled with this on a project I did a few months ago, you can see it here

We did not get the page fullscreen but used zooms to show the pages.
TBH the navigation could do with some work, but it has had some good feedback from users

Thanks for the responses Brent and Phil.
