Launching a pdf via button click NOT WORKING

here's the .STORY file

Hi Matthew

are you trying to load them from the resources tab in the player or from a button within the module...if a button, can you tell me which page its on..

Thanks

Wendy

Hi Matthew

If you are working on a network drive this can sometimes happen.  You should work on a local drive and have all the resources you need on that local drive as well.

I have opened your .story file locally and on slide 1.2 added a shape and linked to one of the PDF's that I got from the External Files folder and loaded onto my desktop.

I published it locally and I can access the PDF from that location.

Uploading it here so you can see what I mean.

Thanks Wendy... I'm trying to load the files from a button in the module. 

I'm working off an external USB drive... should I copy them STORY file as well as the PDFs and link the files locally before publishing?

Hi Matthew

yes...Articulate recommend you work locally from a hard drive not a network drive or USB.

here's a previous post

Thanks Wendy... 

I've copied all my files to my desktop and reset the Jump file triggers to link to the PDF that now sits on my desktop. 

Still no joy... any other ideas? 

Just sent you a private message to see if you want to communicate on skype - might be quicker...in the meantime

do you want to load up the published file for me here

What browser are you using?

Storyline itself is loaded locally isn't it

Thanks again Wendy... It looks like it was an issue with my Global Flash Player settings blocking the content from opening in popups. 

Looks like its working now! 

I appreciate your quick response! 

MM.

Ha that was my next question if you had popups blocked...

glad it worked out.

Thanks so much for helping out Matthew here Wendy and thanks for the update and solution Matthew
