Editing URLs for Hyperlinks to External Site in Animate 2022

I have multiple .fla files from another designer of animated web banner ads. Currently when viewed through html previews and when published and viewed in a browser window the entire ad space is a clickable link to an external site that pops up in a new browser tab that can be clicked on at any point during the 7.5 second animation. I am trying to figure out where in the Animate .fla

 

file I can change that URL to a new site, but I am unable to locate it, or find someone else who has a similar question in regards to this. In the .fla file I was given there is a layer in the timeline at the top labeled "actions"

and when I view the Actions window I am able to see functions written to parts of the file like scenes and symbols that have hover-over interactions, but none that look like the hyperlink.

Everywhere I look online tells how to add hyperlinks through Code Snippets, but none on how to edit the hyperlinks once they are made. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi.

 

I think the link is probably in a publish template or maybe in one of the instances' frames.

 

If it is the first case, try going to File > Publish Settings... > HTML/JS > and clicking on Export. This will generate a HTML file that you can edit and then import back to Animate. The publish template is used for the resulting HTML file that you'll use for your banner.

Please let us know.
