How to export hyperlinks to SWF

Post by dapissarenko »

Hello!

I want to make a drawing, which

a) consists of several shapes,
b) has hyperlinks attached to each shape (when the user clicks on the shape, he is redirected to a web page) and
c) runs inside a browser.

I tried to create this using OpenOffice.org Draw by exporting the drawing to HTML and SWF, but neither solution worked (there were no hyperlinks).

Is it possible to do it using OpenOffice.org Draw?

Note: I know that I could export my drawing to raster format like PNG, and then create an ImageMap with a tool like MapEdit.

TIA

Sorry you've not recieved an answer to your question. Have you been able to find any solution yet?

Links have very shallow support in Draw, IME. Exporting them is even less well supported. PDF is probably the best-supported export format, as far as links are concerned.

Exactly how are you creating the hyperlinks in Draw that don't work when you export as HTML? I'm able to do so using ImageMap and exporting the complete drawing as HTML.
