I am currently migrating from Robohelp to Flare and there are some things I cannot find.
In Robohelp, you can see the difference between a hyperlink and a popup in the Javascript instruction that shows up in the tooltip, and you can change a hyperlink to a popup in the Properties dialog.
Can you do the same in Flare? I haven't been able to find any way except to delete the link and create a new one.
Converting between hyperlinks and popups

Re: Converting between hyperlinks and popups
Flare doesn't use javascript to create popups--it puts that information into the target of the hyperlink. If you check the properties of the link, you'll see a dropdown that lets you change what the target will be (popup, new window, etc.)
Until next time....

Re: Converting between hyperlinks and popups
Thanks Kevin.
What confused me was that a new hyperlink (or a hyperlink in an imported Robohelp project) doesn't have anything selected for either target frame or style class, but still works perfectly well. So what's the difference between selecting Same Frame and leaving Target Frame blank?

Re: Converting between hyperlinks and popups
Same frame is the default behaviour, so specifying it is optional.
Until next time....
