General ⇒ How to get hyperlink to AVI files

[kaushik619]

Hi,

Can anyone help me understand how to use /hyperlink and /hypertarget commands to open an avi file I have in the same directory?

If there commands are not useful, is there any other method to do the same?

Its kinda urgent so please get back soon. Thanks.

The \hyperlink and \hypertarget commands are for links internal to the file. Use \href:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\href{filename.avi}{LINK TEXT}
\end{document}

Or you might prefer to use the movie15 package instead.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{movie15}
\begin{document}
\includemovie{5cm}{3cm}{filename.avi}
\end{document}

As for the "urgent" status of your request, please read this.
