• JumpOutReturn do not open file with MS Access

  Hello
  
  When I try to use this line: JumpOutReturn("MSACCESS",Filelocation^"StudentRecords.mde") in authorware 7 I get the error message "Microsoft Access cannot find the database file 'C:\Documents.mde.'" "in access.
  It will open the file if I save it on the desktop so I think that its got something to do with the full path with spaces in or something.
  I tried to use the full path instead of FIleLocation, but it always comes up with the same error.
  
  Any ideas how to solve this problem?
  
  Thank you

  JumpOutReturn ("MSACCESS",
  baShortFileName(FileLocation^"StudentRecords.mde"), "")

  Should do it.

  You must budAPI that reduce the access path to a DOS version as the
  problem is that the spaces in the path of the file are interpreted as delimiting
  parameters.

• Authorware error launch of PDF files

  Hi all

  I was big into Authorware from 1999 to 2005, but migrated to Flash since then.

  I have a program that has 34 lessons created in this time and distributed on CD. This program is starting to become a great use once again, and to my delight, it still works pretty well. However, there are links throughout the CD that will launch a PDF file that are local CD when I click the link, it launches the pdf perfectly, but when I close it, closing the document, but I find myself with a white screen on my program. The program is still running back, but I can't get rid of the big white top box which held the pdf.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Gene

  Assuming you have all of the PDF files in a folder called 'pdf', it would be calc icon code something like this:

  JumpOutReturn ("" ", FileLocation^"pdf\\filename.pdf ")

  In the dialog box A'ware functions:

  JumpOutReturn ("program" [, 'document'] [, "creator type"])

  JumpOutReturn opens the application specified in the program, and Authorware continues his presentation in the background. Use JumpOutReturn in calculation icons.

  When you specify the program argument, remember to use the exact name of the application. On Windows, it is also a good idea to specify the extension of the application. Unless the application to which you jump is stored in the same folder as the Windows search path or Authorware file, you need to specify the path of the program.

  [ERIK: usually you can leave this empty as the operating system should automatically determine the good parent program.]

  The document of the optional argument opens another application with a specific file. It is best to store this file in the same folder as the Authorware file; otherwise, you must specify a path as part of the argument. If you specify only the document without specification of program, Authorware prompts you to locate the appropriate application.

  [ERIK: same as above, this should not happen in most cases]

  The third argument optional, available on the Macintosh, specifies the type of creator of the application (a four-character code) and Authorware helps localize the application on the user's system. It is useful to include the creator type if users may have changed names or locations of the program files. If you ResEdit, about creating a program type use the command read the information. If you do not specify a document, but you're including a creator type, insert a string NULL for the first argument. Jump to other files Authorware (rather than other applications) use the JumpFile and JumpFileReturn functions.

  [ERIK: it is completely obsolete]

• Problem opening external files in Web Player

  When you use the Web with Authorware 7.02 reader, whenever I try to open an external file in Winword (Microsoft Word), it looks like on the desktop.

  This has happened even if I used the 'get. put. bin win file name.doc"a .aam web put in, so rather than look in the same folder as the .aam is in the basics of file card instuctions noted, it looks like on the desktop.

  What should I put in the FileLocation ^? "Put." is the only name I know only to "look in the same folder as the .aam is in.

  Setting Put in an edition of button should be as I said earlier ".» "------" It's a period and a backslash.

  My mistake on the code, you must use what I posted:

  JumpOutReturn ("", FileLocation ^ "YourWordFile.doc")

  Or, with your file name: -.

  JumpOutReturn("",FileLocation^"A1ChangeStrategyAgendaR.doc")

  It's not the code that goes in the aam file. It is in the main file of Authorware.

• Publication of CD

  
  I'd appreciate really any help I can get here.
  
  I currently have a CBT posted on our server that accesses a number of pdf files by a link in the CBT. I need to convert this cbt for use of CD. My problem is that the current calculation icon has the following argument:
  (JumpOutReturn ("iexplore.exe", "http://pmd.gc.ca \workbook.pdf) that she has no problem to access as long as the person is online.
  
  Trying to convert this cbt for CD publising, how or what I have use the calculation argument to get the cbt searches the pdf on the cd?
  
  PS I am not a programmer or a geek... it took me weeks to find a way to get a product to access an external file. If there is a simple solution, which I think it is... I can't find anything in one of the books I have.

  Hi Steve...
  Problem solved... I need to add the file command "acroRd32.exe" in the first section of the argument. Once I did, he picked up the pdf file.
  Thanks for the help.
