Question

Links ignored after publishing

I've created a small application which is supposed to make it easier for internal customers to locate product documentation.
Different slides contain links to PDF files in our document repository. I'm using the absolute path in the click box links.

When I preview the slides in the browser, everything works fine.
When I publish, I first receive a warning that linked files may have to be exported. Then, when I run the exe, the links do not work. Instead of launching the file and returning to slide 1, the player just proceeds to the next slide.

Why does it work in preview and not in publish?
Is there a way I can package the linked PDFs in the final executable, as in Director?

I've had the same problem linking to our company intranet files - check out my thread 'URL link issue' in General Discussion - I haven't managed to fix it yet but there maybe some of CatBandits tips will help you.

Good luck!
