I'm trying to create a link or a button so people can view a small help video describing the requirements of filling out the form they're in. Whichever way I do it it tries to download everything to a .pdf, when all I want it to do is link to the file and play the video.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried a text with a hyperlink?

Simply create a text with something link "View podcast".
Select all the text with the mouse, open the context menu (click right) and select "add hyperlink".
There you can type in the whole URL to your podcast.

Thanks Radzmar, but I couldn't make your suggestion work.

However, I was able to make this work:
xfa.host.gotoURL("http://www.urlname.org");

FYI...I found this code works for me in Designer to [b]open a link in a new window:[/b]

[b]app.launchURL("www.website.com", true);[/b]
