Opening New Browser Windows In Flash 5
Hello. I know there are some tutorials here that explain how to open new browser windows within a Flash swf. Unfortunately I tried them and got confused. I don't know that much about JavaScript, but I'm comfortable with ActionScript in Flash 5. Here's what I'd like to do:

I have a swf file (main.swf) residing on a web page (main.html).

There are 4 buttons in main.swf. I'd like each button to open a new browser window(page1.html, page2.html, etc.). That's the easy part. I know how to do that!

However, I'd like each browser window to be a specific size. And, if it's possible, I'd like each window to be plain (no scroll bars, not resizeable, etc.). It would also be wonderful if I could control the placement of the new browser windows in relation to the main window, but this isn't necessary.

Thanks for any help. This is an effect that I would use a lot!

Opening Browser Windows With Flash Buttons
Please could anyone help? I am trying to insert a Flash button into a HTML page which will open a when browser window with no toolbars, no status bar, no menu bar, non resizable etc..

Basically the browser window needs to have the web site in side and that’s all. At the moment I have used one of Dream weaver’s stock buttons and am able to open a browser window with toolbars and scrollbars but need the window without scrollbars etc. I have tried adding a behaviour to the button and specifying 'toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrol lbars=no,resizable=no' but the window still appears with all the things I don’t want it to have.

Can anyone help me out??

Flash Video Opening In Full Browser, Need It Like A Popup
Hello to you all, this is my first post and I'm trying to get my learning head on.
I have imported a video in to Flash Pro 8 encoded it to 300x240 pixels and gone through the process to make a flash video including the published html file. Now when I click on the swf. file directly the movie opens up on my desk-top like a pop-up which I want and plays just perfectly at the size I set it at and complete with the controls I chose.
My problem is that when I click on a text link on my website to open the flash produced html file which in turn opens the swf file, the flash video opens up at the right size but on the left and I have a full browser screen, not the size I want it to as when I tested it from clicking on the swf. file on my desk-top.
Please can you explain how to get the video to open up in another window from the link on my website at the smaller size that I wanted? I presume it is some kind of JavaScript code that needs inserting in flash html page?!?! (probably more complicated than that)?
Can you help please as I want to do this with a number of individual videos with separate links?
Hope all this makes sense?

Opening & Closing Little Popup Windows
I have a small movie clip that consists of scrolling text, which can be dragged around the stage. I'd like to add the ability to close the "window," with a small "x" on the corner like a browser window.

Does anyone know how to basically "close" or maybe delete a movie clip???

Thanks to anyone who can help!!

Opening Popup-style Windows

Opening Multiple Popup Windows From One Page?
Opening multiple centered windows, all in one page?
Hello,

I've always really liked the help I get here, so I'm posting another question I have.

I would like to be able to open 12 custom centered windows from a flash file, which holds videos of different sizes and porportions. 4 of them are windows media player files, 4 real player, 4 quicktime.

I already have some code for this, but does not work for opening more then one of these centered windows. For some reason, it will always take the bottom coding of javascript in the list, and open that one, no matter which one the flash file actually calls.

I have made a seperate page for each video, and embedded them with the appropriate video player. The javscript below is in the flash files HTML page 12 times, with the appropriate settings change for each movie and its respectful HTML page.

Here is the coding that is not working to run multiple times:

<script type="text/javascript">
var w=240; /* popup window width*/
var h=191; /* popup window height*/
var l=(screen.width-w)/2; /*this centers horizontally*/
var t=(screen.height-h)/2; /*this centers vertically*/
var url="Movies/WMV9/wmv9_240.htm";
var features="left="+l+",top="+t+",width="+w+",height= "+h+",scrollbars=auto";
function wmv9_240() {window.open(url,"",features);}
</script>

Any help as soon as possible on this, would be much appreciate.

Thank-you.

P.S. (I saw on a movie website, that they used some kind of "Map Gen", in order to use multiple window popups on the same page, would this be what I need?

Flash Popup Adverts/windows That Aren't Windows
Hi there

Just wondering if anyone knows any links to tutorials to make those flash adverts you find on websites? They are actual popup windows but flash boxes that appear above a webpage.

I think they use div layers as well as some flash? But im not sure where to find a tutorial!

For an example visit:

http://www.channel4.com/4car/news/index.jsp

(you might need to click on several pages down the left to get one to appear)

Any help on this would be a great help.

Thanks

Opening Browser Windows
When using the getURL action to open up a window can I use syntax that opens a browser window without a toolbar, scrollbars etc rather than as a full new window?

Opening Browser Windows
I am having problems getting Flash to open a popup window

Within my HTML document I have this code:

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

and on a button within my Flash movie I have this code:

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:win_open('disclaimer.htm','disclaimer ','scrollbars=no,width=400,height=300')");
}

When I try this through the browser I get a script error alert saying there is an error on line 0.

For one how can there be a line 0 and what is wrong with this code?

Does anyone have a script that will allow me to oepn a new browser window from a flash button? I don't want toolbars or anything, just a basic popup window. Thanks.

Opening Browser Windows
I have a flash piece I would like to have play in a correctly sized browser window which opens smack in the center of the screen.

Using the behaviors window (onclick="MM_openBrWindow) in Dreamweaver the window opens by default in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. Anyone know how I can control where the browser window I open up appears? Thanks in advance if you can help.

Help With Browser Popup Windows
Hello,
Thank you in advance for your help. I have posted on this board before and I received valuable advise from very talented flash developers, so here I go again:
I am not very experienced with java (or html for that matter+I don't have dreamweaver) and I am having difficulties creating multiple pop-up windows. Here is my specific problem:

-I have already created a continuous motion scrollbar that scrolls my movieclip (a series of thumnail photos)across the stage.
-I have put invisible buttons over each photo with the actions--on release, get url....
Now what????
-I want my site to have small thumnails that when you click on them brings up an enlargement of the thumnail in it's own little browser window (with no address bar ect.)
*I don't want to use loadmovie command
**Also, how do I control where the popup window appears...

-I have found many tutorials, but they all seem to use different javascript and none of them show the code that I need to insert into my main movie html to allow it to support the multiple popup windows...
--Sorry for the long explanation, just wanted to be sure to explain my problem fully.
(Can you direct me to any good, thourough tuturials on this subject?)

thanks a bunch,

Javascript Popup Browser Windows Conflict Question
so... here's the situation. i'm working on creating a site where there will be a number of popup browser windows triggered from the same swf. i've tried naming the function in flash like this:

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:popupwindow(mailinglist)");
}

but the window won't popup unless there isn't a name specified like this:

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:popupwindow( )");
}

even though i have named the function in the html file.

so the problem is this... i keep popping up the same window because for some reason i can't name the popupwindow in flash without it not working anymore. what am i doing wrong? is there some special way to define the name of the popup window in flash that i'm not aware of?

i'm doing this in flash 5 if that helps. HELP ME!!! it's driving me nuts!

Opening New Windows In Flash
Hello,

I am using Flash MX (not 2004).

I need to open a new window from flash that is 300px long, and 300px wide. I have tried using
getURL("javascript:window.open(...)","_self")
, but that gives me a page that says "object", and then it opens the window. See it in action at www.yeahitis.com/test.swf How can I make it so it does not open the "object" window?

Thanks,

Opening Windows Within Flash MX
I need each of the buttons in the circle movie clip to open a different window like the one showed on the main stage. This means you must create three unique windows, one for each button. I've tried to do it, but it absolutely refuses to cooperate every time. Also, it would be great if the window was a different color...say instead of pink;dark brown, instead of a white bg; translucent. If it's not too much trouble, tell me what you did so I can learn. Thanks!

Opening New Windows From Flash
Hi,

I want to launch a photo browser (that ive done in flash) that Im thinking of having in a HTML window that would pop up when the user clicks the link in my main flash file.

The thing is I know that lots of people have pop up blocking now and that blocks javascript code.
Is there another way of bringing up a window from flash or can anyonne think of a way for me to do this.

Many thanks,

Tim.

Opening Windows In Flash
I know this is a well-documented issue, but the fixes I've seen haven't allowed this newbie to solve the problem. So far my openNewWindow function opens a new window with "javascript:openNewWindow()..." in the address field. Why is it reading the command like a url not a function? What should I try!

Sorry for the basic question...

Thanks!

Popup Windows In Flash 5
I am looking for ideas for actionscript to call multiple customizable pop-up windows in Flash 5 from a mouse action. Are there any tutorials to point me in the right direction?

Popup Windows - Flash 5
On my Flash Project I have about 11 links to be opened in new windows. I have put the following code in Flash:
onRelease {
get URL (javascript : pop(); ");
}
And altered the HTML page with Javascript:
function pop()
window.open...
But...
How can I distinguish in Flash (with Actionscript) and the corresponding HTML page (with Javascript) the opening of the pages? I am using 4 different Javascript functions to do it (pop, newwindow, onClick and openwindow). Currently, with these 4 functions I can only open 4 links, there are still 7 missing :-). Probably I only need one function with variables to do it right... Can anyone help me please?

PopUp Windows From Flash
I am redoing a website to include PopUps. The splash page is HTML. The link launches a new window that contains the Flash site. From the Flash site, I need to make some popup windows for some of the images. I can control the size of the new HTML window with onload commands. I need to turn everything off except the title bar. Can I do this from Flash? Can I reference the Javascript from the splash page via Flash? The website link is http://www.alienartstattoo.com
The owner wants some of the more intricate tattoos to be opened in popups so that they can be seen more clearly. I have not found anything that works so far. All help is appreciated. Not to be picky, but could any information refer to the pages (splash, flash, popup) just so I don't have to repost for clarification. I basically want the popup windows to have the same feel as the window that houses the Flash site. Thanks for all help.

Popup Windows Within Flash
Hello, I'm new to this but eager to learn more about flash!

I've seen some websites where you can click on a picture and then the rest of the screen will go hazy, a window will pop up (not a browser window), then the photo is displayed. Can this be done strictly inside of flash? If not, how?

Flash Above The Popup Windows
Hello,

I am developing a .NET site which has a Flash banner and a pop up module window that returns search results. once I added Adobe's javascript solution to disable IE border issue the Flash clip is always above the everything. without the javascript it works fine but then i have that nagging IE border. I tried setting z-index and Wmode but that didn't work.

I can not show a sample of the page as this is an internal application.

any solution?

thanks

Flash Popup Windows
I am designing a website for a semi-pro football team and I need the roster page set up a certain way. I need it set up so that when you "mouse over" each player's name a little dialogue box comes up telling you information about where they are from, their position, etc. I have no idea how to go about doing this and would appreciate any help anyone could give me.

Flash Popup Windows
Hi. My website is done in Flash and I use popup windows (browser) to show bigger/more detailed versions of my work. I'm not sure what's wrong, but none of the popups work at all now. If someone can please help me and/or tell me what the problem is, I'd greatly appreciate it. My website is:

http://www.rawpixels.com

Now, if you enter the site and click on, for example "artwork," and then click on "deloitte consulting," you'll get a small description and and "click to see" button. If you click the "click to see" button, a smaller browser window is supposed to appear, but doesn't.

Here's the script for the button.

on (release) {
// customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = "pops/artwork_1.html";
target_winName = "kirupa";
width = 521;
height = 415;
toolbar = 0;
location = 0;
directories = 0;
status = 0;
menubar = 0;
scrollbars = 0;
resizable = 0;
// sends data back to the function
openWinCentre(address, target_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);
}

Here's some additional info:
-I don't have popups blocked
-I'm using the latest version of Firefox
-I'm using Mac OSX (latest version)
-I'm on an Intel based Macbook
-I've installed the latest version of Flash

Thanks in advance!

Opening Many Set Sized Windows In Flash

Basicly want I need to know is how to open many windows from flash that don't effect each other. Or how to open a window in flash, and then have it close itself when the next window is opened.

Opening Windows Programs From Flash?
OK, here is something I have been wondering if it is possible. I would like to create a flash move that will basically be playing in this computer awaiting for a user to touch the screen (touch screen monitor) at this point, the movie will display a sencond screen that will give the user some options via some buttons. The problem is that I would like these options to be power point presentations or shows.
Is this even possible? Would I be able to play the presentation within Flash without even thinking of opening powerpoint or the power point viewer? I am using MX 2004 and hope to be able to use projector to generate the movie.

thanks very much in advance.

Question About Flash Opening New Windows
I have a flash that is opening a pdf in a popup window. To accomplish this I'm using an inline javascript command from a linked javascript file. My results varied.

Box 1 (IE7/FF1.5/XP Pro): the links worked fine.
Box 2 (IE6/FF1.5/XP Pro Media Center): the popups were blocked by the google search bar.
Box 3 (IE6/FF1.5/XP Pro): the links worked fine.

All three boxes have the google search box and after a windows update on Box 2 the popups worked fine.

I'm trying to figure out how the updates to the computer fixed the problem. The updates were:

KB928388 - Update for Windows XP (Daylight savings time update)
KB929120 - Update for Windows XP (Daylight savings time update)
KB925876 - Remote Desktop Connection
KB920342 - Update for Windows XP (PNRP update)

Generating Popup Windows In Flash
I guess you can call me a beginner intermediate flash person.
What I'm trying to figure out is how to create a popup window
in flash. Specifically, I have thumbnails of images, I want to be
able to click (individually) on an image, and have it's full size come
up on another window (same dimensions as the image).
I believe this is javascripting, but I've tried using a popup window
javascript, that I got off the net, but it doesn't seem to work.
I've tried embedding the script in the FSCommand in the Actions
window, but no luck. Am I putting it in the wrong place, or is the
script different written differently for flash? If so, does anyone
have a generic script for a popup window? Where would I put this script?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Flash Java Popup Windows
Hy everybody, thanks to the suggestion given to me
by Kolt I could now open as much pop up windows as
I want (no scrollbars no toolbars and of a certain size)
via relation between flash geturl function and javascript.

Can anyone could tell me why it seems to function in a single frame column structure?

I pasted the same code (perfectly functional)
from one place to another in the timeline (read
from one button in frame x to another button in frame y)
and there.... I click but nothing happens...

It's driving me mad: I tried to change the buttons
(totally reconstructed, to have another javascriptfunction
with the same properties but different name..

Any idea out there??

Thanks in advance..
