I have some problems showing Viewpoint content offline (on a cd-rom). Here is my situation:

* My Viewpoint content shows flawless when viewed online using IE on both PC and Mac.
* When viewed offline in IE on a PC - no problems either.

What puzzles me is that I can't see the same content offline on a Mac using IE?

Does anybody have a solution for this?

Thanks

No, the content dosen't show at all when I try to view it offline on a Mac. That goes for IE as well as Netscape.

Jakob,

I had this problem about a year and a half ago (the first time I tried creating VET content) and cannot for the life of me remember what the problem was though it was almost certainly broadcast key related... you do have a broadcast key with the content don't you... if you want email me the troublesome content and I'll see if it works here.

Your problem is related to a path problem. The problem is most likely the link to your MTS3Interface, but could also be in your constructor line or in the MTX file its self. Our Deployment Guide covers these issues (found in the Documentation section). But here is a quick overview:
Symptom:
Content doesn't show up on on a Mac, but works fine on a PC (online or off).
Problem:
Incompatible, Windows-centric URL with a backslash.
To Solve, make sure your content does NOT:
1) ... Have backslashes in the URL "\". This will only work on a PC. Correct URL's will look like this: "http://www.example.com/examples/example.mtx" or "../examples/example.mtx"
2) ... Point to files that do not exist, such as a local file.
Basically, the backslash is always the problem when it won't show up on ANY browser on a Mac. I want to stress that the backslash being accepted as a valid URL is a Microsoft-ism and NOT w3c compliant.

Hi vpjeremy,

I just made a simple Zoomview example to find out what I do wrong when implementing offline content:
http://www.spinvizion.com/zoomviewtest/test.html

This is what happens on my machines:

? Watching the content online on a PC in IE is no problem.
? Watching the content offline on a PC in IE is no problem.
? Watching the content online on a Mac in IE is no problem.
? But when trying to watch it offline (from a cd-rom) on a Mac in IE nothing happens.

Please note that for now I?m not concerned about Netscape. My first goal is to get everything working in IE.

Could you please tjeck out my source code?

Thanks

Does the content not show at all?
