Issue with Hyperlinks and Buttons

Sep 19, 2013

Hello,

I am creating a Storyline with buttons that include the action Jump to  a Hyperlink in them. I have added my links and tested them in the program and they worked. When I publish the course the buttons dont' take me the links. Any suggestions to fix this.

The links don't have to be buttons. They are not a design element. I choosed them to see if they would work.

Cheers!

I have also tried the resources in the Player and just adding a Hyperlink to a slide. I am publishing the course for a LMS and launching it via the Story file from my C Drive.

This is a key part of the materials that needs to work so that I dont have to embed the materials in the course due to ferquent updates.

Any ideas?

Hi Brandon,

Taking a stab here. Could it be because you're launching it from your C drive?

Copied this from this support page, where there's more info

If you view published Storyline content on your local hard drive or send it to someone else to view on their local hard drive, you'll encounter security restrictions from the computer, web browser, Flash Player, and network that'll cause various features of your content to fail

Apologies if I'm misunderstanding.

Hi Brandon,

As Becky points you to, you'll want to test your published content within the intended environment to prevent encountering any of these security restrictions. If you're not ready to post it to your LMS, you'll find in the article Becky linked a few options to test your content from the web, and my personal favorite is Tempshare  just because of how easy it is.
