I'm trying to use an image map (image+clickareas that navigate to slides/frames) on the Master slide (since the same map would be used throught the module). I'm getting CallMethod Contructor errors (I guess because the Master slide loads before the objects library is loaded), one for each clickarea. Once loaded, the clickareas work OK (since at that time, again my guess, all objects have been loaded). I know I could comment out the catch alert message (in courselab.js/function CallMethod), but I'm wondering if there is any other way to do this (not everybody in my team is comfortable changing the js file(s) + it's not very efficient method, either).
Any insights will be much appreciated.
Thanks, Razvan:-)

Hi Razvan,

I don't have much time to reconstruct your problem; if you can put a zip somewhere maybe some of us could have a look.

Some thoughts:
- if you use only some pictures and text on the master slide, you won't get this error. If that's right the problem is not in the object library not loaded.
- if the former is the case, then the problem could be that the actions on the master page point to slides/frames not known at the time of building the page.
- if that is what happens, you might be able to decouple somehow the actions from master page and normal page. Just a wild guess: define a variable which holds what frame or slide to go to and change the status of an object. This change-of-status should trigger an action which makes the jump to the specied frame/slide.

Or maybe use 'low-level' javascript to make the jump.

Just some guesses, I hope they help a bit.

I put the file in My CourseLab, would you be able to link to it? I suppose I'd have to share it somehow, but I don't see how...
Thanks, R:-)

Here's the URL for a sample course (on My CourseLab): http://www.courselab.com/db/cle/D148B330B99D6821C3257841005A8332/courses.html.
I hope you can use it to see what I'm talking about.
Cheers,
Razvan :-)

I can open the link and activate a course but I cannot open it :(

It doesn't like what you're doing Razvan, I get the same error on a few browsers.
CallMethod:101 clickarea constructor g'oSliderFrame is null or not an object.
It also has to load each pop up image every time they are called.
I think you need to rethink this and just cut and paste the objects onto the pages.
The master slide is really to hold the styling framework not content.

Yeah, that's the error I was talking about. I was afraid you'd say that (Master slide not for this kind of stuff :). I guess I'd have to put the clickareas on each normal slide. Anyway, thanks for feed-back/suggestions. R:)
