Hi.

I´m trying to launch an html file located in the project folder, name it "index.html". Si, if I call OpenBrowser("index.html") it launchs a blank page.
Is there a way to launch local html files?
And if so, would they be packed into some way into the executable?

Thank you.

You have to give a full path to the local file you want to open. If your html file is in your media directory you would use

OpenBrowser(GetReadPath()+"media/index.html")


There's no easy way to pack the html it into the executable. You could write the html file to the disk from code (opentowrite()) as your exe runs but its easier to just have the file in the media directory or a subdirectory of it.

Thx so much! It works like a charm. And also thank you for the opentowrite() tip, it´s just perfect for what I intend to do.
