HTMLViewer Receives Information options

Postby gsRon » Tue Oct 28, 2014 4:06 am

I have the progress screen showing a series of billboards during the install through the source 'Installation Billboards'.

On the finished screen, I would like to show an alternative HTML page. How can I do this when the only 'Receives Information' source listed is 'Installation Billboards'.

In the past, I have faked hyperlinks by putting in labels that close the dialog and then in script, check what was clicked and launch a process. This is manageable for a single link, but it very tedious when the number of links increases.

Dear Ron,

I may suggest you to have a look at the following link, probably you could use the same approach.

OK, so I added code to replace the 'index.htm' file in the $SUPPORTDIR$.

Now my problem is that during the processing of the install, I have shown a series of HTML pages. Even though I have replaced index.htm, the viewer is showing the last page of the series of pages shown during the installation.

How can I get IA to start the billboards from index.htm again?

the issue is listed as a feature at http://www.installaware.com/FlashHelp/whatsnew.htm

Dear Ron,

Did you replaced the 'index.htm' (along with any other file if required) just before to display your successive dialog?

the issue is listed as a feature at http://www.installaware.com/FlashHelp/whatsnew.htm

Not sure to which feature you are referring to.

Francesco,

Yes, I did replace index.html.

The slides we show during the install do not loop, it is index.htm, index0.htm and index1.htm. index1.htm stays displayed until processing is finished.

Once the processing has finished, i replace index.htm, then show the finish dialog and index1.htm is still displayed and not index.htm even though it is a different dialog. 8-(

The feature I am refering to is:
'Setup billboards now resume automatically from the last billboard shown instead of resetting to the first billboard between different displays of progress dialogs.'

which appears to be what is happening.

Ron.
