I have created an HTML5 interactive interface on Animate using 16 frames containing movieclips, videos, and dynamic texts. I realise now that Animate was probably not the right software to design such a complex project. However, I was still learning about interactive content and Dreamweaver seemed too complicated (especially considering that the interface is meant to be locally hosted to be used in a physical installation powered by Arduino).
Now that I want to export it in the installation's PC, I need to publish it with all the content in one folder. Nevertheless, it seems unclear how to properly integrate and link the .xml and video content in the Publish folder. If I view the file through Animate, everything seems to work properly, but when I open it in the browser through the local.host videos seems not to be linked anymore. Moreover, it seems that the .xml file is not linked anymore even though the text is correctly loaded: the text is visible but any new modification to the .xml does not appear. Can you give me any advice or tell me what I'm doing wrong (probably many things...)? Is there a way to automatically create the complete Publish package containing also the videos and .xml files?
Thanks.
