I found a workaround using clickTAGs.  https://community.adobe.com/t5/animate-discussions/how-to-make-an-ad-for-adwords-in-animate-cc/m-p/11641046 ... View more

Thank you! Just tried it, and it behaves the same as the publish in the older version.  ... View more

🙂 I considered the web server and of course, I'm going to use it in the end, I am just trying to avoid a mess if possible.  Thanks for your input.  ... View more

I guess so, but this goes into several rounds of testing before it gets to the client. I can already hear so many complaints from different testers about them not being able to open an HTML file in Chrome. There are 200+ banners, and they will be translated into different languages. It will be logistic chaos to upload all the versions on a web server, generate links and share them with the testers.  Also, they will ask questions - why it doesn't open, when their previous banners, generated in some other tools, opened before.  Hope you understand the struggle. 🙂 ...

I'm afraid this is going to be the case.  It's just hard to explain that to a not-so-tech-savvy client that is used to testing banners in Chrome. ... View more

Of course, here is a sample - https://we.tl/t-cVQ4ET3LZL You can click on the icon and on the text to open the link (Adobe website). I assume you will get the same result. This is where I placed the actions: I got this message:   ... View more

Thanks for your reply! Actually, yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to do - to open the banner published as an HTML file on my computer. Just by double-clicking the HTML file. That's the easiest way for the testers to check the functionality. Am I doing something wrong? 😄  ... View more

Thanks for the reply!  I'm on Windows 10. I tried using texture, assets, and spritesheets and got the same result - not working. When I want to open the banner, I go to the folder where it is published and double-click on the HTML file. Also, there is local browser security anymore and you gotta turn on "developer mode". By @KansasSteve Sorry, did you want to say there is or there isn't browser security?   This is what I get when I enter the developer's mode: ... View more

Hi @Colin Holgate, thanks so much for taking the time to solve this! Here I am with the same issue, 7 years after this thread was opened. I'm using Adobe Animate 2021, and the buttons do not work in Chrome, Opera, or Edge. They are only working (while tested in local) in Internet Explorer. There is no option to deselect spritesheets in the 2021 version, but I'm using the textures: The banner opens up, the animations are on point, and the buttons do appear, but they are not functioning - they do not open hyperlinks. When I test in Adobe Animate itself and in Internet Explorer - they work!  Also, the buttons work in Chrome when I deploy the banner.  I would need them to work in Chrome for the client to test them locally. Any suggestion would help!  ... View more
