- With the Player, you not only have the option of launching it with the full outline, you also have the option of launching a specific document in the outline. The document could be a module, a section, or a topic. If it is a topic, you can launch it in its own "player", to give the user a choice of which play mode to view, or you can launch it directly into a play mode.
- The launch point is a link that you can create and embed in a web page, attach to a button in an application, or place in any document.
- Copy the contents of the PlayerPackage folder in the published output to a web server and then create a hyperlink to a module, section, or topic in the content.
- The content should be placed on a web server for the links to work properly.
- Some things to note:
- Depending on the type of web server you are using, case sensitivity may be necessary. In this case, be sure to create the hyperlink with the appropriate capital letters.
- If you are launching a topic from certain document types such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint, the question mark <?> in the example link shown in the next section should be changed to a pound sign <#>.
- URL addresses should not contain spaces. You should use %20 to indicate any spaces.
- Note that if the output file structure of a published package changes in future versions of the Developer, the hyperlinks will be broken. You will need to update them manually.
- Warning!
