Hello Johnathan and Dave

my problem is here: 

getURL('http://www.bbc.co.uk','_blank'); // change the first parameter to match the url of the file you want to open
ok Johnathan I wrote in my script : 

debug("clicked");

getURL('http://media/pdf/comparative.pdf','_blank');
ok the window opens in the browser but it does not display my document. pdf (comparative.pdf).

Kind regardsMatteo

Hello Dave,


I just tried your approach and that works as well - just note that it is the event's icon property that needs setting to mypic and not the event's id property. But all in all a tidier solution than the one I offered.

Nice one.

Kind regards

Johnathan

The image itself is an allowable event target (at least it worked for me)

>>The ID is used as the unique identifier of an icon, so once you set the icon property of an icon you can refer directly to it by using its ID. That is except for icons that are normally the children of an interaction icon i.e. the sort of icons you see listed when you right click on an interaction icon in desktop Xerte e.g. button, hotspot etc. These use the rs property to identify themselves and not the id property.

>>>However you can add a hotObject icon to an interaction and then add an image icon as a child of the hotObject. This will allow mouse events to be detected by the image. I am not sure if the event will be triggered by the hot object or the image. If it is the hot object icon then you may need to use the rs property rather than the id property to identify the hotObject icon when specifying what object sends the event.
