From: Anthony Ferralli on 27 Feb 2006 10:19 Why can I not call a html page on a local drive using the GoToNetPage. If I place the html page on my website it works fine, but not on a local drive. I want to be able to download the program and run it under a browser from a local drive. What am I missing? Thank you

Whilst it is supposed to find local files with no path, I learnt a long tome ago not to trust that. So far as I recall, GoToNetPage will not work unless your application is web packaged, so if you are running an exe, change your code to JumpOutReturn("", FileLocation^"close.htm") OR JumpOut("", FileLocation^"close.htm") HTH Steve -- EuroTAAC - Europe's only Authorware conference. http://www.eurotaac.com Lindau, Germany Pre Conference Training : 27 March 2006 - 29 March 2006 Main Conference : 30 March 2006- 1 April 2006 Post Conference Training : 3 April 2006 - 5 April 2006 Team Macromedia Volunteer - Authorware My blog - http://stevehoward.blogspot.com/ Authorware tips - http://www.tomorrows-key.com

If you're running this packaged from the web and call a local HTML page that tries to close the browser window your browser may be blocking the execution of that script because it comes from a page on another domain (your hard drive)... mark h |
