Robohelp:Inserting File in new window

[powerpellet]

Within Robohelp, I am trying to insert a swf file and have it launch in a new window. Here are the steps I am taking:

Within my topic, I select Insert Hyperlink
Change hyperlink setting to open in new window
Locate file
Hyperlink options are now greyed out
select Ok

*** Then I get the following error message.. "The Destination File____.swf cannot be displayed in a frame. The target frame has been reset to page default.

How do I get my swf file to launch in a new window???

Hi powerpellet and welcome to our community

This is happening because the "New Window" setting is expecting to link to an HTML file instead of a .SWF. As HTML files commonly are used to display .SWF content, you might try that approach.
