I decided to make a menu to link multiple videos. Eventually, I want to create a menu for all my videos so I can access them from one interface.
- The first thing I did was to learn a bit about animation in Flash CS4...
- I proceeded to create graphics to represent each video like a thumbnail along with a description of each video (standard menu stuff).
- I enabled the functionality of the buttons but I haven't found a solution that will link the button to a video file and open it once clicked in Windows Media Player.
- I've been unable to get around this little snag. I wrote to Adobe a couple of times in the hope that I would simply be provided with a solution. I'm able to link a button to an address on the web so I figure it must be possible to link a button with a location and file on a hard drive external or internal.
To summarize... I made a menu in Flash > it's purpose is to link about 60 video files > I created buttons to link to the files on a hard drive > doesn't seem to work > my question is... what am I doing wrong and how can I understand what steps I have to take next to open a video file (through the menu) in Windows Media Player
