Linking from multimedia

You can create a link from a multimedia object (sound or video clip) in a topic. When users click the multimedia object, it takes users to a destination. The destination can play another sound or video clip, display a local or external HTML Help topic, go to a bookmark, Web site, FTP site, or newsgroup. It can also open an electronic mail program and display a predefined email address so users can compose content and send a message.

Use one of these procedures to create a link from a multimedia object:

Create a multimedia hyperlink:

Link to a local topic:

Link to a bookmark:

Link to an intranet site or Web page:

Link to external topics:

Link to an FTP site:

Link to a newsgroup:

Link to an email address:

 

Tip: As a shortcut, you can also create a link from a sound or video object that is already in the topic. Right-click the object and select Insert/Edit Hyperlink. The object will already be selected in Link From. All you need to do is select the destination and the link is created.
