Tutorial 1 in help menu problems

[ljbecque]

I'm new to Wink but starting to catch on fast.  At first I thought the problem didn't work on Win7 because the first Tutorial would not run.  I tried the second and it ran fine though so I made some my own wink files to try it out. 

I finally came back to tutorial 1 and found that when it renders it only creates a .js file, no .htm or .swf file is created.  Anyone know what is causing this???

I finally found that if I rendered it as an .exe file I can watch the tutorial now.

I wonder if it is a file name issue or something related. Can you copy tutorial1.wnk to a new file on your desktop and open/render that with Wink, see if that works?

Yes, coping tutorial1.wnk to the desktop and rendering results in the creation of 3 files; .htm, .js, .swf.  just like it does when I render tutotrial2 in the samples folder.  However when I render tutorial1.wnk in the original samples folder, although it seems to take the same amount of time rendering, only the .js file is created. 

Note that I also found that rendering tutorial1 as an .exe in the samples folder also works.  This is strange?  Can't be a permissions problem as the program is able to create the .js and .exe files in that folder.  Is this a bug within Wink or something??

I think I found the problem but I don't know what is causing this.
I made a copy of tutorial1.wnk within the samples folder renaming it tutorial3.wnk and discovered that it did the same thing as before and when you clicked to view the rendered output it tried but failed to load tutorial1.htm.  That is when I discovered that if I went into project, settings and changed the output filename to tutorial3.swf then it would render and play properly!

So next I went back to the original file, tutorial1.wnk, and went to project, settings and changed the output filename to tutorial-1.swf.  Now when it renders it creates all the files and plays the output file properly. 

So for some strange reason Wink doesn't like the filename tutorial1.swf when rendering in the samples folder!!!

Good find!

So what do you think is causing this filename issue?  Is it a bug within Wink?  Can you reproduce this behavior?
