Open URL Events

Using events to open URLs at runtime

Open URL Events are not supported on Apple or Android runtimes.

For security reasons, Open URL Events are disabled by default in web runtimes.

To enable them, set automaticallyHandleEvents to true.

For security reasons, Open URL Events are disabled in share links and on the Rive Marketplace.

For general information about adding, creating, and signaling events, see Rive Events.

URL Properties

When you select the Open URL Event type, additional configuration options become available.

Enter the URL you want to open.

Include the URL protocol (for example, http:// or https://) when linking to external domains.

The Target determines where the URL opens in the browser.

• Blank — Opens the link in a new tab or window, depending on browser settings. Note: If the Event is not triggered by a user interaction (for example, via a Listener), the browser may block it as a popup.
• Parent — Opens in the parent browsing context. If no parent exists, behaves like Self.
• Self — Opens in the current browsing context.
• Top — Opens in the topmost browsing context. If no ancestor exists, behaves like Self.

For security reasons, URLs are not opened by default in embeds or Marketplace posts. This behavior may change in the future.

Properties (Deprecated)

Properties allow an Event to carry additional data to the runtime.

This feature is deprecated and has been replaced by Data Binding.
