Open link in
This option does nothing if either of the "Pop-up layer" or "Pop-up photo" link options are selected. But
for other links it allows you to tell the web browser how the target web page should be loaded. By
default it is set to "Not specified" which usually means the browser will open the link in the same browser
window and frame as the link.
The dropdown list contains four options that cause the browser to do special things. You can select one
of these options, or type in the name of a frame:
New window or Tab (_blank)
Open the link in a new browser window.
Same frame (_self)
Open the link in this frame (the frame that contains this object).
Parent frame (_parent)
Open the link into the parent window or frameset that contains this frame.
Same window (_top)
Open the link into the main browser window, replacing any existing frames.
If you want the link to be loaded into a specific frame in the browser, type the name of the frame in this
field.
Clickable area
This option lets you specify what area of the object must be clicked on to invoke the link. However it is
not supported for HTML websites (the rectangle surrounding the object is always used), it works only
when exporting to Flash.
Shape of object
: The user must click inside the exact outline of the object to invoke the link.
Rectangle surrounding object
: The user can click anywhere in the rectangle surrounding the object (the bounding box) to invoke the
link.
Link transition
This option allows you to apply a transition effect to a link so that the page linked to (whether it's an
external site or one of the pages in your site) appears with the page transition that you select. Link
transitions can only be used when the link is opening a new page, and are disabled otherwise.
Note: If you apply a link transition to a link that goes to a page with its own transition set using the Page
tab
, then the link transition is used. So the link transition overrides the page transition for a given link.
Transition effect:
Choose your animation effect from the drop-down list.
You can apply the following transition effects to a link:
