I'm developing an interactive CD. I need to be able to allow the user to open Word and PDF files. I'm not sure how to do this. I've tried using getURL, but that doesn't work. I'm a bit saturated and can't think how I can do what I need.

Is Flash a part of Captivate or do I need it to be able to put interactive quizzes into a document. It sort of sounds like Captivate 5.5 is all that I would need. My basic task is to take a PDF file and/or a MS word document and add interactive quiz questions to the document. I don't even need to record them to a database. I have been trying to learn what a bunch of these Adobe products are and what they do and don't do for over a week and finally I got some real help in this forum this morning.

View 1 RepliesI've created numerous games which load and unload off a main menu.The player enters their name on the main menu before playing any games and when the player completes a game I want to save their time (taken to complete the game) and unload this time back into the main menu.Is there any way of saving the times using AS3 to a word document or something like this? I can't send the times to my website with php because the games will be used within a competition and it all needs to work with the internet.

View 2 RepliesI have a flash application in which there is a button. On clicking that button, a pps file should play. What I did is published the flash file in a projector format (.exe), created a folder named 'fscommand' and put the pps file inside that folder, and tried to launch the file lying inside that folder from this flash file by using following codes:
on (release) { fscommand ("exec", "file.pps"); }
Another way I tried which I found is:created a .bat file named launch.bat, put it in that folder & tried to launch the pps file via this .bat file using following codes:
Actionscript code:
on (release) { fscommand ("exec", "launch.bat"); }
'launch.bat' file code:
START "file.pps"
But still it's not working.
I'm making an interactive cd in flash, I'm wondering how I can prompt the user with a way of saving video files (.mp4) to their computers.
Ideally they would click on a 'download video' button and then would be prompted with the usual window allowing them to choose where to save the file and name it.
Is there a way to do this within flash?
I've been using fscommand to launch files, can it be used to save files as well?
So I read through Kirupa's XML/Flash thumbnail gallery tutorial and have since modified some of its actionscripting to display my online design portfolio. How do I make it so that 'LAUNCH PROJECT' is a link? Here is the modified Actionscripting (I have one of each for the 3 sections):
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;[code]....
As you can see at the bottom of the actionscript, I added a gotoURL action, hoping that simply by making <launch> read <launch action="gotoURL" variables="http:url...> that it would become a link. I, however, have had no such luck. Perhaps I have to add something more. How do I make it so that <launch></launch> has the ability to link to an URL?
I have been building a simple word game. It is smple but works fine. I am now trying to enhance some of the features.I would like to see if I can display one letter of each word so the Player has a hint. Think of this as a beginners level.The words are random from a text list. Either I can make the letters invisible and the game starts without a hint or I am able to select a letter using charAt() or creating a new variable substring()from the word which is the displayed repeatedly on the stage(not what I want) I have not been able to find a way to display one letter and display it in the correct order within the word and keep the remaining letters invisible.

I am doing drag-the-word quiz. When you match the word with correct part, the message pop out, saying Bingo! If the word is matched with wrong part, the "Sorry. Try Again" message pops out, says "Sorry. Try Again". I managed to make the "Sorry. Try Again" message disappear. However it dun work anymore after that. Sometimes it is quite funny. When I play it, the "Sorry. Try Again" message dun pop out at all.
Another problem - I am not sure how to make the word fit into the white box. I only know how to make the word drop on the white box. Can you tell me how to do it? I will be adding voiceovers to the quiz when the word is matched with the part. For e.g it will say "bingo" or "Sorry. Try Again". How to attach the voiceovers to it?
