Hyperlink to Resources

Hi, Steven,

I notice that the URL shown in the Resource_issue.jpg image isn't what it should be for an attached file in a published course. When you link to a file and publish the project, a copy of the file is stored in the external_files folder, which is in the story_content folder. 

Storyline is (to put it politely) quirky when it comes to attached files. From what I've seen, it uses an exact path to an attached file, rather than a relative one. In other words, if you move files at all, the program can't find the file when you publish the project. 

So try this: delete the hyperlink and then put it back in. And be sure to use the Load File button to locate the current copy of the file. 

FYI: I edited a copy of your file on my hard drive, attached a local PDF, and published the project. The attached file opened and was exactly where expected: in an external_files folder.

 I hope this helps you get your project done on time. Good luck!
