clickTAG working in test, not working on publish.

Question

I have made a banner ad in HTML 5 with a clickTAG on a button. When I run a test inside of Animate, the button works fine. When I publish the button doesn't work. I am very new to Animate and have spent half the day combing forums and YouTube to no avail.

Here is the clickTAG code

this.clickTAG.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_4);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_4() {
window.open("https://bottomlounge.com/events", "_blank");

Hi ehrenHow do you test after publishing? Do you just open your export HTML document from your local disk or do you test from a server?When you test inside Animate (ctrl/cmd + Enter), a local web server is invoked automatically (http://127.0.0.1​) and Javascript calls work without glitch. If you open the document after publishing witout this server support this can cause problems. Make sure you test your stuff always on a web server.There are also opportunities to install a local web server for test runs like this. Look into MAMP or WAMPserver.Your function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_4 needs by the way a closure } in line 06, though that's propably just a copy/paste miss.Klaus

Hi,you are missing a } on line 6.When you say Publish do you mean hitting CTRL and Enter on Windows (or Control > Test) in Animate to test it? Or you mean testing it on a server?To help you for future reference then when you say you Published anything regarding to Animate then that is meaning you tested it in Animate locally on your computer i.e. hitting CTRL and Enter on Windows (or Control > Test) in Animate.When I add the } to line 6 and test it then it works for me.Hope this helps?
