From Playcanvas game I need to go back to the parent address HTML . Can we do this? Needed this badly

Help & Support

I am implementing a Game HUB with 4 games inside it.

Game HUB is done using basic HTML 5 scripting which would have links from where i would load Play canvas games. Now from the games how can i load back the parent address HTML5 page.

You could add a button somewhere on your game that links to the parent page. For example you could add a link somewhere using HTML, or you could add a button again with HTML that calls window.open(url) when you click on it. Or you could use the sprite library here to add a button https://github.com/playcanvas/sprites that does that on the click event.

Plenty of examples on UI around the forum and in the tutorials.

window.open(“www.google.com”);

Did the above code to check the loading of URL page. Not working

I Got the Solution : window.location.href = “http://www.google.com”; :slight_smile:

Usually window.open needs to be called as the result of user interaction, so inside a click event handler for example, otherwise browsers will block it.
