Broken links in Flare to Mimic movies??

Post by nick777 »

I have a flare project that is linked to 11 Mimic movies. I used the insert movie link into my Flare help topics, but when I run Analyzer, it says that the links are broken, and I get errors when I publish Flare output. However, when I view the published output, the movies open and play. What's going on? Are these false errors or am I getting real errors that I haven't noticed the consequences of yet? By the way, its Flash output.

Does it still work when you move the help to a different PC? I'm just speculating here, but if you have absolute paths specified to the movies then Analyzer may pick up on that and complain since it is not a relative path, yet the help page can still locate the file. That would not be possible if you move the help to a different system assuming that this system has then no access to movie files. If it still works you may have found an Analyzer bug.

Well it works when I publish the output to another computer. I only have one copy of Flare here, so nothing but the output moves.

Then I'd consider that to be an Analyzer bug.
