Interactive video
I’m working on a pop up book type animation. I’ve got all my characters and scenery set up in After Effects. I want my pop up images to animate when a mouse button is clicked over it, likewise the text to animate upon a mouse click. I have all my animations set up with a camera on a 3D null. Is there a way to make this happen with just after effects or after effects and illustrator? I tried installing animate cc but the file I have was corrupt. Any help would be appreciated

No, after effects only handles the animation and can output a video for you.
The interaction has to be programmed in a different environment
HTML5/JavaScript perhaps? -
I’ve seen videos on YouTube showing animator has a coding wizard of sorts with a drop down menu of code snippets to do almost exactly what I want. Do you know if illustrator has something similar?

It does not.
Very very maybe a limited version of what you want is possible via InDesign (using it as a layout tool for an interactive pdf) but I wouldn’t bet on it.
I think animate would be the best way to achieve this in an app, but I believe it has a very high learning curve.
Maybe you’d should find a Programmer.
I still think any webdevelopers with a bit of knowledge of embedding video and JavaScript might even be faster building it from scratch (depending on the scope of the entire project) -
Incidentally, if it’s all shapeanimations, instead of compressing to video-layers; exporting data-files via lottie/bodymovin’ would create an even crisper and much more lightweight startingpoint for a web-version.

You may want to check out Mobfish or 3D Vista for adding the interactivity, they may offer a solution for you.
