display .swf videos from online help in separate window

Post by mitches »

I want the .swf file to display in a separate window instead of displaying in the online help panel.

There is probably a better way to do videos; but, this is how mine are at this time:
I have hyperlinks in my main topic (.html) files that point to another topic (.html) that contains one entry.
In that second file, I did an Insert -> Picture and selected the video (.swf).

When a help user selects the hyperlink, the video replaces the main body of the help screen.
The help user can select from the TOC to move to a different help topic.

I would prefer that the video open in another window and play in that window. Any ideas?

When you insert the hyperlink, set the Target Frame to New Window.
