Hi all,
I've created a .fla file to use as a menu. When I preview it by pressing CTRL+Enter, the links work. Howver, they don't work once I actually publish the file.
This is true for SVG as well as HTML5/Javascript. The file seems to render okay, that is, the background and contents are there but static. It was originally created in Illustrator, if that's relevant.
Can anyone give me any pointers about what I might be doing wrong? I can add the fla if anyone needs to see the specifics
Thanks!
you're publishing an html file (along with a js and probably images) so yes, the html must be opened in a browser.

svg isn't going to be interactive.
are you testing your html5 in your browser? if so, are you opening the html file on your harddrive or on a server?

Hi, thanks for your reply.
The SVG idea was really to investigate further.
This is the thing. The preview seems to run on a server (127.0.0.1) and that works okay.
I've been opening the output file directly through the file system - is that the difference?
I'll try that now.
Thanks

kglad​ Tried it and... it works! I did not know or expect you cold only access this through the browser.
Good to know, thanks

How else would you run an HTML document except in a browser?
