[Xerte] Re: download file pdf

[Kemp Johnathan]

Hello Matteo,

Try the following

Create a new desktop xerte project with the icon structure

Learning Object
  Interface
    page
      image (id = myPic url = FileLocation + 'media/myFileName.jpg')
      interaction (perpetual setting is either 1 or 0 depending on whether
you want the execution flow to stop at the interaction)
        HotObject (rs = myPic click = 1)
           Script

The contents of the script are

debug("clicked"); // will display a debug message in preview mode to
confirm click was detected
getURL('http://www.bbc.co.uk','_blank'); // change the first parameter to
match the url of the file you want to open
// getURL will open a window in your browser

Notes on properties

   - You need to set the image icon's id property so that this can be used
   in the HotObject to identify what object it is responding to.
   - The interaction Icon can have a perpetual property of 1 or 0 try both,
   one of the values will stop the project flow at the interaction but I can't
   remember which it is - so play around with this setting.
   - The HotObject icon's rs property must be set to the same value as the
   Image icon's id property. The click property is set to 1 if you want the
   event to trigger on clicking or 0 if you want to trigger the event on mouse
   over.

Hope this solves your problem

Kind regards

Johnathan
