Hey again all,
The specific code importing the username isn't actually all that important, it's more of test to make sure that Javascript will actually work. I have a lot more code that needs to be processed as well, I'm using this as an example before I tackle the actual interworkings of the script. Therefore, I can't use a workaround, such as a system variable in the hyperlink, to pass the username.
I've now tried countless variations of methods of trying to run the JavaScript so far, including the ways that all of you have recommended. The only way the script will run is by my saving the file as a .htm and including an alert within the script in either the .htm file or in the .js file and calling from within the .htm. I haven't been able to get the process to run at all by including as an On Enter page action or as a .swf or by excluding the alert(). Can any of you get a Captivate 8 project with JavaScript to work as .swf alone on your server? Why does that alert have to before the setVariable in order for it to work in htm? I've changed the global security for Flash; is there another setting that I'm maybe missing?
Thank you all again for help. I'm completely stumped by this one!
