Hot Link to the web from an E-Card

[Guest_imported]

I've created an E-Card for a friend to promote his company which has music, graphics and a short animation. At the end of the presentation it contains all his details including his web address.
How do I embed a url into authorware so when this address is clicked it will automatically take the user to his web page?

You will need an interaction icon that is a hotspot or hotobject, etc. Then in the branch path of the interaction (when they click on the address) put a calc icon with something like these lines of text:

if NetConnected then
GoToNetPage("MySite.com" , "_blank&quot
else
JumpOutReturn("IEXPLORE.EXE" , "MySite.com" )
end if

The "else" portion of the statement is in case you want to package the piece as an EXE, otherwise you just need the one GoToNetPage line.

The "_blank" parameter opens a new browser window. If you want to open in the same browser window, you can either omit that parameter or use "_self" instead of "_blank".

Hope this helps

Thank's for that. I'll have a go.
