Question

Is it possible to use Animate CC to link to files on a PC or are links supported for urls and web pages only?

Hi All,

I have a number of flash.swf files that are to be distributed via a download and saved on the end users pc.

I want to create a menu .swf file that can be used to open the different flash files so the user will open a menu and can click different buttons to access a certain file.

I have gone through a number of tutorial on buttons/links and have created html links but all the actionscript links appear to be based on url and web pages.

Is it even possible to link to locally stored files with animate CC?

I have only recently started working with animate and Actionscript so apologies if this is an obvious answer question.

Thanks

yes, it is but you have to know the name/location of the files so doing this for a web-based app is usually going to fail.  doing this for an air app is satisfactory.

what kind of app are you creating?

Thanks kglad.

Its an e-learning app, I have a number of interactive flash files that i would like to link together somehow so the end user can easily access the data.
