Flash :: Launching Popup Windows From Flash Makes My Server Stop Responding

Launching Popup Windows From Flash Makes My Website Hang
I've got the most bizarre problem with my site www.nitrovortex.com when using flash to launch a popup window to show certain content.

The 1st time you launch a window, any one doesn't matter whuch it works fine.

But if you then go to click on another one, the window pops up like it should but no content will load in it, in fact the entire site seems to not respond and refreshing the entire site brings up nothing.

After about 15-20 mins its ok again.

any ideas?

I'm using IE 5.5 on win2000, thought it might be a browser bug but it happens on IE6 on XP too.

I can post the code I'm using if anyone's interested.

Flash File Cause Browser/server To Stop Responding?
hi,

I am currently woking on a flash project and the flash file size now exceeds 1.2MB and will be around 3MB when it's finished. The flash file does image processing(Bitmap.draw, Bitmap.getPixel, filters etc), dynamic object creating, and database manipulation. I host this flash file on Godaddy's Premium Account. But while still doing testing on the server, I've exprienced some problems with either browser(IE) or server stop responding after launch the program continues few times. I have to restart the browser in order to reload the program page. What could be the problems here? Not enough bandwidth? Memeory leak?

Any help is appreciated.

Detecting Screen Size / Launching According Popup Windows
this should be an easy one...not for me though

- the main page has an entry button, and when the mouse rolls over it you get two options: 1000x500 or 600x400. you then choose which size best suits your screen resolution.

- i would like to have at the bottom "your screen resolution is x by x"

- then when the window pops up, obviously centered, i want it to have a name and no scrollbars or resizing or absolutely anything.

i now it's a lot to ask, but any help would be GREATLY appreciated...THANKS

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

[CS3] Launching Windows Explorer From Flash
I am working on a CD Browser for our company's software CD. One of the features of our previous versions (using demoshield and html) was a selection to "Explore the files on this CD" which would launch Windows Explorer at the root of the CD. How might I do that in Flash? Would I use FScommand? If so, i assume that I would have to use a batch file that would launch explorer? Any help would be appreciated.

Launching Flash Windows From Flash Windows
Please can someone help me.

I am trying to create my own personal portfolio on cd. The main interface is a swf and contains a list of buttons (which are the titles of my work). When these buttons are pressed I want to launch a new flash window ontop of the existing one containing the piece of work.

I have looked at javascript popup windows using dreamweaver but have had no luck. I don't know whether this is because you have to use http's or that im thick and have no knowledge of javascript.

If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. I am using Flash MX if it makes a difference. If the solution is using javascript or html can please explain it to me like a 5 year old because I don't know what im doing.

Cheers

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!

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..

How do you call a javascript popup command without changing the URL of the current site, so that the flash movie stays where it is? If I use:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Flash Projector & Popup Windows
I'm making a cd presentation with Flash and the final product will be a projector (.exe)

I'm having trouble with one thing. I would like to open a popup window from within the projector with a specified size. Since the movieclip is not embedded in an .html page, I'm having difficulty.

Doesn't anyone have any ideas? Also, would it be better if the cd presentation was created/exported with Director 8.5? - I'd have to learn it though! hehehe

Thanks a lot!!

PopUp Windows In Flash Movies
How can I make a new window PopUp within a Flash movie.

Popup Windows From Flash Warning
hey there,

the other day i posted a popup-problem where javascript popups called from a flash button did work locally but not online.

i now located the real problem. it is the cloaking function of some free domains, such as domainname.DE.VU! the cloaking function makes the starting url of the domain remain in the adressbar of the browser even if you are relocated to another location.

this so called cloaking seems to have serious problems with javascript code generated from flash. disabling this function (to be done in the de.vu configuration) solves this problem.

strange but true. so do not test hours and hours with various scripts like i did :-)

What's The Best Way To Make Popup Windows In Flash?
I want to make popup windows in Flash.
For examples, when a button is clicked, I want a window to popup.
When the window that poped up is clicked, I want it to minimise and then go away.

I can think of doing this using the timeline.
But surely there's got to be a better way?
I've tried going through the tutorials and movies but can't find anything suitable.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Popup Windows From Flash - IE Support
Hi guys,

I'm trying to display a basic popup window from an swf file. Works perfectly in Firefox .. but gets blocked in IE no matter what I try!

The code i'm using:

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('ShowPopup.php' ,'newWin','width=400,height=300,left=0,top=0,toolb ar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizabl e=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}

The strange thing is, I followed this tutorial - http://www.flash-db.com/PopUp/index.php and the "Generate Popup" button in one of flash files works even in IE. But if I try to use the code that the same button generates, my popup is blocked!

I've looked through this forum and a few others and have reached a dead end! I'm sure someones done this before / knows how to do this..

Any solutions? Thanks a million in advance.

Cheers

Flash Popup Windows For Portfolios
How do you create the flash pop up windows that you see in portfolios these days, where the window opens without toolbars, status bars etc, simply as a clean square with no borders, at the center of the page?

Here's an example:

How do you do this? Is there a tutorial out there?

Radio Buttons Stop Responding
hey, i've got a pretty simple problem- but I don't really get why it's happening, so maybe someone can shed some light on this for me.

it boils down to pretty much one thing. If i have a group of radios (radio1, radio2, radio3) in a frame, and the code

stop();

radio2.selected = true;
next_btn.onRelease = function()
{
gotoAndPlay(5);
}

where frame five does nothing but send the playhead back to the original frame- the second time "radio2.selected = true;" is executed it doesn't set the second radio button like it does the first time. Instead all the radio buttons are blank. I just don't get why it would set them the first time it runs that code, but not after that. I'm sure that the code is being executed again evert time i hit "next_btn" becaue i've tested that, so it seems like the radio2 variable stops being connected to the radio button somehow. These are the simplest terms that i have this problem under (obviously i'm not going to another frame for the sole purpose of coming back to the one i just left)- but solving this problem would fix what's wrong with my current project.

-thanks

Centering Popup Windows Launched From Flash
I'm having trouble getting my popup windows to center when launching them from within Flash. I have the following script in the html file that calls flash:

function centerpop(theURL, Name, popW, popH, scroll) { // V 1.0
var winleft = (screen.width - popW) / 2;
var winUp = (screen.height - popH) / 2;
winProp = 'width='+popW+',height='+popH+',left='+winleft+',t op='+winUp+',scrollbars='+scroll+',resizable'
Win = window.open(theURL, Name, winProp)
if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4) { Win.window.focus(); }

}

And from Flash I have buttons launched like this:

on (release) {
getURL("video/southfnd.htm", "javascript:centerpop('this.href','movie','240','2 55','no','center');");
}

However, the window opens much larger than it should, and it has toolbars and the like. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks very kindly in advance,
Kenneth
