Creating a link to a relative path
I am hoping someone can help me here.
I'm using Robohelp 6.0 and outputting to a CHM file (Robohtml). I have a separate .htm file with 3 associated files (.flv (flash video), .js, .swf (controller), and .xml (settings) file). This is our training library in video format which is embedded in the .htm file. It was made using Camtasia. What I would like to do is either one of the following:
1. Create a relative link from the .chm file to the .htm file which is outside the project.
2. Include everything in the baggage files and run it from inside the .chm file.
My results were as follows:
1. No matter what I try, I cannot seem to access the .htm file from the Robohelp output using a relative link. I ensured that all the files were in a single directory where the chm file is located, so I know the paths are correct. It's as if Robohelp can only create links for absolute paths? Is this really the case? Also, I don't need the files to be included in the project. I just need to access that .htm file relatively. All the coding is in the .htm file to read the movies.
2. Placing everything into the baggage files does allow me to run the htm file, but the .flv and .swf files don't display in the html window. no matter how I slice it, I can't get these video files to load. As a side note, I can embed .swf files into Robohelp without a hitch, but this training library has multiple videos and a table of contents and such and is 250 MB as an .swf file. But as an .flv file, it is only 25 MB. So obviously, I would prefer to use the .flv file.
Thanks in advance for your help.
