Question

Trying to use a button to show a video

I am creating a project for work where I have a map of the US and need it show videos when a button in a certain city or location of the map is clicked.  I have the map on the canvas and I have the button with an action of get URL or file selected.  It works great when previewing it, but when I go to publish the file, the video does not stay with it.  I get a warning about putting the video file in the folder, which I have done (unless its the wrong folder). 

Hopefully this make sense, I would love some help on this from someone.

Captivate always gives you that warning message.  But if you check in your published output folder you should see the video/s there.

However, testing this kind of published content on your local drive can often NOT work out.  Upload your content to a web server and test it from there.

If I am creating this content for a course and not to be uploaded on the web, how would I be able to have the button on the map be clickable and show the video?
