Issue with Hyperlinks in Storyline & Rise in Microsoft Edge

Hi Brandon! Yes, mind boggling isn't it. I've had it with Articulate support. Zero help. Use the method below in Storyline. There is no way to accomplish this in Rise. I also attached a document that has images in it as those wouldn't paste correctly.

When you need to link to a document that isn’t on a server, use the method below to utilize the JavaScript open in new window code.

1. add a button off the main canvas area. This will serve as the placeholder of the PDF that will be attached.
2. Give the button the following trigger:
   • Action -> Open URL/File
   • File -> Link to the physical file on Shared Drive
   • When -> User clicks. Note: I suggest naming the button the filename you’ll be linking to for easier editing especially if there will be multiple files on the page.

3. Create your link or button within your course
4. Add the following JavaScript code to the action of the button or link:

var myWindow = window.open("story_content/external_files/YOUR_FILE_HERE.FILE", "_blank","width = 810,height = 610,scrollbars = 1,resizable = 1");

That’s it! Your local file will now work in the same fashion as an external link.
