Trigger - to url does not work
Oct 25, 2013
I am entering a trigger to jump to a URL when a button is clicked . I`ve chosen open i same window.
When I try out the published file - the button does not lead me to the new adress (the URL) but it remains on the same "slide" as though nothing was clicked. I`ve tried it both in I.E 8 and in Chrome.
I`ve tried to make links to both local URL`s on companies intranett and to global news site.
My intention is to be able to start other courses by linking them to buttons in this course. I`ve encloses a zipped file with the actual course - the button with the trigger is the "Introduksjon" on the last slide.
Please help.

Helge, are you running your content locally, on your harddrive? In that case, the URL is probably blocked by FlashPlayer security settings. I uploaded your test file to a server, and the link works for me, see here.
Hi Helge and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! Looks like Michael is taking care of you here. You want to be sure that you are publishing and sharing your Storyline content as explained here. Just let us know if you need anything further.
Thanks Michael and Leslie, So quick and so presise respons, but then....
Youre right abour but the local harddrive when it comes to the file I sent you but the links and the server used earlier where open sharepoint sites - and that should work ? - should`n it ?
I Publish to a local drive - and then I upload to the Sharepoint Site - and ofcourse I use the link to the Sharepoint adress for the link behind the trigger.
Any idea ?

To investigate myself I published to Articulate Online :

And it works - but I still need support - How do I make it work on a Sharepoint-site (library) where I use the URL to the "Story.html" for the course I want to link to ?

Hi Helge! Perhaps this thread will offer some assistance.
When I do minor changes to a Articulate project - it seems wasted to upload the large number of files on the web-server - I guess is only some of the files that are changed - Is there a way to understand which files will be changed and then just upload the few that is changed ?
Hi Helge,
I'm afraid not. Your entire project will need to be uploaded again in order to test it again. Only picking a single file won't update the entire project and it may end up breaking the project, or causing caching issues.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!
