hi to all and sorry for my poor english,

i've just downloaded the evaluation version of opus05, and i've got a problem with the action menu. I've read that there are action like launch application or launch web page but they don't appear in the right menu. There's only the "post web data" action and no more...

I've tried deleting the registry entries but without results...

I'm desperate, i need a urgent help...

Thanks a lot in advance...

What type of publication are you creating? It sounds like you are using Flex, which does not support any external launch methods because Flash does not allow them for security reasons.

The DirectX publication type does not allow anything that can create extra windows (since it is not possible to use windows in DirectX - there is only one "surface").
DirectX is only really for publications where you know that all the target computers will support that fixed mode and you don't need external windows. It is really intended for kiosk type systems where the hardware is known and fixed.
The normal Opus publication type will run on the greatest number of computers, and will use DirectX to accelerate the graphics where possible anyway - so I would recommend you use that.
