Flash :: Buttons Opening To New Page

Opening Popup Page In Standalone Projection (no Html Mother Page)
Hello,
I am creating a standalone projector (CD with autorun).
This means my swf files are NOT contained within html.
I would like to, when clicking on button, open a popup html page with specific dimensions.
I was wondering if it is possible to do that, and what AS to use,
or if I have the obligation, to openpopups, to launch my swf files WITHIN html mother page.
HERE IS THE CODE OF MY BUTTON THAT WORKS (but does not open popup):
on (press) {
getURL("URL", "_blank");
}
HERE IS THE CODE FOR POPUP BUT DOES NOT WORK (opens html page normaly):
on (press) {
getURL("URL", "", "width=580,height=400,left=100,top=100");
}

thanks guys.

Opening New Page BUT That Page Loads In Behind The Page You Are On.
Is it possible to load a web page from an action script (just like when you click on a button to open a new page)

Basically I want to create a Flash banner and somewhere along the "movie" have it launch MY web page and have it load in the background, behind the browser that holds the banner.

BTW - I have the permission by the person who will host my banner.

I just have to make it work.

Can this be done???

And how????

Thanks in advance!

i am trying to make a variable in a dynamic text box a link to open a new page. the box is enabled html, but it doesnt seem to work.

Opening New Page
Ive made a really basic button, that has this code attached...

on (press) {
getURL("gallery.html", _self);
}

This should replace the current page with the gallery page, but it doesnt. In Firefox it makes a new tab and in explorer it opens a new page.

What is the code for making it open in the same page?

Thanks,

Morgn.

Detect Opening Page
Hello,

Say I have an xml page called bellyflop.xml, I want to put a link in it which opens a swf. Suppose I have another xml file called quoit.xml with a link to the swf. How do I get the swf to behave differently depending on which file opened it? Is there a way I can specify what happens in the link itself or do I have to write some script in the flash that checks the name of the xml page?

Any ideas??

Opening Html Page
how can i make a flash button open an html page in it's own window

Opening _blank Page
Hello,
I have a flash movie which I want you have a button which opens up an HTML page that is sized to certain specs. This code snippet works in another Web site.

On the site I am currently editing when I click on the button the IE explorer bar wants to block the pop up -- I have pop up blocking OFF. This site is an LMS/CMS (Content Management System) on another server.

I basically have a server (not mine) which I have access to. I have a mini Web site there. On that Web site there is a frame which opens up my swf -- which is on my server. The html file I want to open in a blank is on my server too. It will not open through.

Here is the code:

on (release) {
getURL("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('quiz_tes t.html','myWindow','width=550,height=500,left=20,t op=20,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status= No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}

Any ideas?

Getting Off I-frame After Opening New Page
Hi guys, I have a problem with an i frame. I have an html page with a flash intro file embedded into it that is being loaded as an iframe on another page. The problem is that my actionscript on my last frame on the flash has a link to the "home page". But when the link executes it loads the home page but still within the iframe. So all my pages from the website load as i frames instead of loading the actual pages on the browser. Is there any way to load the home page off the i -frame? I wouldn't want to open a new blank page but just to open up the page in the same browser but not on that i frame I ahve. Anyone have any ideas??? Thanks in advance!!

Opening To Specific PDF Page On A CD
I have a Flash Projector that opens a PDF on a CD to a specific page, and this seemed to work fine in IE6. With IE7, I can no longer open to the specific page. If the PDF resides on a web server, I can go to the exact page, but not if the PDF resides on a CD. Can anyone help me here? I've checked out JStart, but I don't see how that opens to specific pages, and reading their forums has not been encouraging.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim

Hello, I currently have my homepage up and running(it is done completely in flash) I also have a couple of links on my web site that go to other .sfw web sites I have created. However when I click on the links it brings up my files but they are smaller. The text is smaller, the pictures are smaller and the site itself does not even take up my entire screen. When I upload the sites individually the look fine it is only when I have them all up at once and use the links to navigate. if someone could help that would be great.

Thanks

Help With Flash Banner Opening On Every Page
Hey guys I been trying to optimize my site abit. I seen on some new flash templates that when the flash banner opens the first time the browser will not call it again when clicking on new page links. I also seen the banner incorperated with an iframe so it only calls it once.

Currently I have 6 .html pages each calling the flash banner every time their clicked. This is taking loading time whenever a user browses to a different page.

my site is http://xpservers.net
and another i created is http://energreenmetering.com

Can someone help me out ?

Opening New Page To A Specific Frame
I am still learning Action Script but I have a problem with writing the full script for combing navigate to new URL and gotoAndPlay. More specifically what I want to do is use a button which when clicked will open a new page and then start playing my Flash movie at a certain frame on the Timeline. I have used buttons to navigate to a new URL and used the gotoAndPlay ( ) ; command to play a certain frame, both have been successful but when I combine the two I run into trouble. What happens is the new page loads correctly and goes to the specific frame but then opens the browser in a new window with the movie playing from the beginning. The correct sequence within the correct Webpage is playing but only if I close the current page, in other words what I am trying to achieve is running but in the background.

I have attached some of the code I have tried if that helps. Many Thanks.

Attach Code

ButWel_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);
function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
getURL("A&HMSisterC.html", "1961");
}

From Preload To Loading/opening A New Page.
I've searched through numerous websites as well as searching through this forum but haven't been able to find a full answer to my problem.

I created a preloader which works mint on its own but I want to open a new swf (actually a projector file, but that's the same technique isn't it) once the progress bar is finished (ie. movie has been loaded).

I've got my main part (main.exe - it's a projector) and I've got my preloader part (preloader.exe - also a projector). So what I want is that I click on preloader.exe, this loads main.exe as well as displaying the load bar and once it's finished loading it takes me automatically to main.exe which is the main part that has all my text etc.

How do I do this?
