Adding a hyperlink to a project is useful when you want a user to be able to click on a part of your project for more information. This is accomplished in AutoPlay Media Studio using the On Click event of an object.
Example 1
As an example, let us assume that you want to jump to "Page2" when the user clicks on the phrase "Continue . . ." within a paragraph object. For the purpose of this example, let us also assume that you have the following paragraph in your project:
To have mouseover effects (the text changes color when you mouseover the word 'Continue . . .'), do not use a hotspot, but instead use a second paragraph object containing only the text that the mouseover should change:
To include hyperlinks in a text file without utilizing hotspot or paragraph objects, embed an HTML file in your project using a web object. When a user clicks on a link in this embedded file, your project can call any action you choose:
Example 1
As an example, let us assume that you want to jump to "Page2" when the user clicks on the phrase "Continue . . ." within a paragraph object. For the purpose of this example, let us also assume that you have the following paragraph in your project:
- Use a hotspot object, and place it over the phrase 'Continue . . .' in your paragraph object.
- In the hotspot's Quick Action tab, choose 'Show Page' as the action to run, choose 'Specific Page' for the page to show, and choose 'Page 2' for the page name.
To have mouseover effects (the text changes color when you mouseover the word 'Continue . . .'), do not use a hotspot, but instead use a second paragraph object containing only the text that the mouseover should change:
- Create a paragraph object containing just 'Continue . . .'
- Place that object exactly over the phrase 'Continue . . .' in your larger paragraph.
- Set the mouseover color to whatever you want. In the paragraph's Quick Action tab, choose 'Show Page' as the action to run, choose 'Specific Page' for the page to show, and choose 'Page 2' for the page name.
To include hyperlinks in a text file without utilizing hotspot or paragraph objects, embed an HTML file in your project using a web object. When a user clicks on a link in this embedded file, your project can call any action you choose:
- Create a web object, and load the desired HTML file into it.
