Deleting an embedded file

I can clear music from a flipchart but then it still does a link, not to music but to the tmp files, anyone got a solution?

Hi

Not sure why you are having a problem deleting the linked/embedded file. The only thing I can think of is if it's a link to a file from an object/image then you need to remember to change the properties of the link to 'do nothing' on the drop down menu (see attached image) even if you press the 'clear' button that's below the drop down list... otherwise it will probably try and open the folder that contained the music/file that the link originally pointed to... hope I haven't confused you ... as I seem to have confused myself... :)

Kindest regards

Hi, thanks for that, I just hadn't ever thought of the 'do nothing' option after clearing the file!
