Adding audio from external folder, and use it in hippo web p

[alessandro]

Hello,

I'm the same Alessandro of the thread "Audio in HTML export - Android 4.x"
I have another problem: I tried to link an external audio in my html (from other folder on my webpage ftp), but hippo add it into the data folder of the html page.
I'll try to explain here: my problem is that I need to use password protected folder, but Android system cannot load audio from them (from the protected folder). So, I need to put the audio file in a different folder, not password protected, and make sure that the webpage load the music from it. In fact, if I don't protect the folder, the audio was correctly load and execute.
I tried to load in Hippo Animation program the audio from this unprotected folder, but Hippo make a copy of the file and put it into his webpage data folder and use it... so is useless for me had created an unprotected folder for this audio data
How can I do in Hippo that the audio is setting to load from a different folder of the web page data folder?

I hope that my English permit you to understand my problem and that you can help me.

Thank you very much, regards,
Alessandro

There is no way to do this at the moment. I'll add it to the suggestion list, "load audio from url"

for now, try searching the exported html for the audio file and changing it's location manually.

We're looking into it.

Ok it turns out that was easy. Upgrade your software to the latest version and search the help for "sound link".

Hello,

I tried yesterday, after updated my Hippo Animation program, to recreate my web page with external audio, but nothing was change: the audio was preload into the webpage folder as a mp3 file and if I try to open my web page, the audio was load directly from the folder created from Hippo, and not from the other external folder... why?
I loaded the file audio from the audio button and use a http link to load the audio. Is this my mistake? There is another way to do this from Hippo?

Thank you,
Alessandro

Hello, maybe I found the problem: in my Hippo Animator I never see the "Sound Link" icon. So I used the normal "audio" icon. Now, I tried again the  software update, but my program was update and I cannot see the icon...
My release of the program is the 3.3.5151.25756.
Greetings,
