[Cisco] CCNA curriculum access problem

[Jose Straube]

Hi Jim,
 
I have experienced the problem you are describing when trying to access the curriculum that is in a local hard disk. and the reason for that is the security feature of the new Flash/Shockwave files.
To get around that you will have to go through the following steps:
 
1) Make sure you are connected to the internet before starting and have the lates Flash version.
2) at the opening screen for the curriculum right click inside of the Flash window and select 'settings"
3) A little "Macromedia Flash Player Settings" window will appear, in there click the "advanced" button this will then connect you to the following web site: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html 
 
4) Select the "Global Security Settings Panel" link that is displayed in the text on the right handside  under the 

What can I do with the Settings Manager?

bullet point number 3.
 
Alternativelly you can try to click on the following link :
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html#117502
 
5) On the new page a "Macromedia Flash Player Settings Manager" will appear on the top right, in there there is a drop down menu "edit locations". Click on it and select >> Add Location.
 
6) A new window will open ("Trust this location") with four buttons, in here you can choose to type the path to the curriculum or browse to it (e.g.   D:\CCNA\   ). In my experience it is wise to point the "trust location" to the hardrive where the material is stored  (e.g. D:\ ) this way if you have more than one curriculum there you won't need extra locations set. Once you press the confirm button you will be back into the previous window but this time you will see the drive letter (and or  path) in the little window "trust files in thiese locations".
 
You should now be able to open the material without a problem. (You will still have to deal with the popup block from the XP service pack 2, if you are using it)
 
I hope this will help you.
 
Cheers,
Straube

Hi all,

 

Sorry if you got this via the IS group. My mistake.

 

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this problem. Is anyone having difficulty getting past the opening screen of the CCNA curriculum? What's happening, as of the start of this term, is that clicking on any link, including the curriculum tour or tutorial does not work. It is therefore impossible to get past the opening curriculum page on my laptop. I go in through the back door to access the curriculum, but this is getting really annoying. My colleague has experienced the same thing. The school network Is not experiencing this problem.

 

I don't know whether this access problem is related to having to click twice to get any of the media links or actions, like Flash links to work. This may be a JavaScript problem but I don't know. 

 

I'd really appreciate any ideas/help/solutions to this annoying problem. I've tried updating Flash and Java. Its made no difference. 

 

Thanks very much,

Jim
