In the Link pop-up menu, click the downward arrow, and select the type of link.
Your options include Adobe SWF File, Web Address, Email Address, FTP Address, and Newsgroup Address. Click

When you link to a Adobe SWF file (Flash content), MenuBuilder automatically creates a link to the related
HTM file. Every SWF file requires an associated HTM file. This file contains information that is necessary for the
SWF file to play correctly. You can select Save file with project to save the linked HTM file with the SWF file.
(When you export the SWF file, the linked HTM file is also exported.)
