buttons not working when I launch html file

[default32550790yr4u6g]

Hello. I have developeved a simple animation with buttons. The buttons each point to an external webpage.

this.blue.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);

function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage() {

window.open("https://apps.usgs.gov/hivis/", "_blank");

}

When I launch the animation using control>test movie>in browser, the buttons work just fine. However, when I launch it using the html file, the animation loads, but the buttons don't work.

I am developing an interactive dashboard that will live on a large touchscreen system and I would like the office staff to simply be able to click on a file to launch the dashboard. I want to avoid having to install Animate on the host system. Is there a way to export, or other wise save, my animation so it will work as a standalone file in this scenario? So, someone can just open up a directory, click on the file, and "voila!" the animation (and the buttons) work.  

Thank you.

your browser is blocking because of a cross-domain issue.  

why are you opening the html locally?

Yes. I am opening locally because I was thinking that's it might be used on the system. So, if I were to upload the file to a web server and access it on the Internet, you're saying the buttons will work? I could not that. I just didn't realize that opening it locally would break the buttons.

Hi.

Yeah, should run your content from a online/remote server.

But if you really want to run it without a server, this fix may (or may not) work for you:
