Flash :: Opening Browser Windows

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?

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.

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??

Opening New Windows
I have a button in a flash movie. It opens a new flash movie from my web site. I use the get url function and I have placed "_new" in the target box. When I open it in Internet Explorer it doesn't work, it opens the new movie in the same window. But, it seems to work in Netscape Navigator.
Any ideas......?
Thanks Anthony

Opening New Windows W/ CSS
Hi, I would love any and all help.

Currently, I am loading a style sheet and a .txt file (which has the code below in it ) into my flash file. Its working fine but I would like to specify the window size it opens. Is this possible, and if so how?

info=<textformat leading="2"><p>
<span class="hilight">Classics</span><br>
<a href="1957Chevy/index.html" target="_blank">1957 Chevy</a></p></textformat>

Thank You In advance.

Opening New Windows
I'm trying to allow the user to send variables, the values of different text fields, to a perl application which opens in a new window. I'm using the send() method, which works fine. The only problem is that I want to define the dimensions of the new window. It seems like this should be simple enough, but I am very unfamiliar with actionscript and have been unable to find the answer I'm looking for in the Flash documentation or online, so if anyone could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Here's the code that I'm using:

submit.onPress = function() {
var contact:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

contact.realname = userName.text;
contact.returnAddress = userEmail.text;
contact.subject = userSubject.text;
contact.message = userMessage.text;
contact.recipient = "email@address.com";

contact.send("cgi-bin/formMail.pl", "_blank", "POST");
}

If you would like to see it in action, go to http://www.studiosix12.com/test.htm, and go to the "contact" section.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Opening Windows
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. Oh, how I envy you who are masters at what you do... Ah, and 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. I wish I were a Flash great...

Buttons Opening New Windows, Sometimes
This may get a bit confusing to follow but I'll try and make it clear. I've got two Flash Movies that are involved with this issue, FLASH ONE and FLASH TWO.

STEP ONE
Lets start with FLASH ONE. At the end of it, there are several buttons that each open a 2nd window while the original window remains open in the background. The window that opens display another Flash movie that I don't think has an effect on this issue. Everything works fine so far.

STEP TWO
Now lets move on to FLASH TWO. Visible during the entire movie is a button that links to FLASH ONE. When the button is clicked, it opens a 2nd window showing FLASH ONE while FLASH TWO is visible in the background. Everything works fine so far.

STEP THREE
When I come to the end of FLASH ONE --- after having accessed it through FLASH TWO, I still have the buttons mentioned in the first paragraph above. Each of the buttons work BUT ONLY SO FAR..... they open a window, BUT it is not a new window, it is the same window that FLASH ONE was in.

My question is this: How can I make the buttons in STEP THREE open a new window as they do in STEP ONE?

Thanks

Puzzle When Opening New Windows Under IE
Hello people,

I've currently got a problem when opening a new window from within a flash movie.

I've set up a simple getURL javascript:

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:newWindow('image1.htm','newWin','widt h=888,height=605,toolbar=0,menubar=0,location=0,sc rollbars=0,resizable=1')");
}

...everything is fine, the site performs 100% when I preview it in Dreamweaver in both Internet Explorer 6 and Netscape 6, and online when I check it using Netscape. But when I try it using IE I get a page not found error. The links and script are from what I can tell fine (it wouldn't work in Netscape if the links are wrong I assume) and I can't think what else it would be.

The site is at http://www.smartforms.com.au >> portfolio >> category 1 >> click a thumbnail on the right and underneath the image is a button saying 'full screen'. Here is where the problem lies.

Where am I going wrong?

Opening New Windows With _blank
Has anyone heard of a reason why a new window would NOT open when using the actionscript
getURL("http://www.flashkit.com", "_blank", "GET");

I've just made a small login section in which a button opens a .cfm script in a new window. Works fine on my machine, but a friend just called saying when she clicks, it loads the .cfm in the SAME window....

Any ideas?

Opening DW Windows In Flash
I know how to open a DW in Flash (Get URL command), I know how to make it a new window by adding the "_blank" thingy...now I need to know how to open it at a CUSTOM size. You can do it in Dreamweaver by using the behaviours menu, is it possible in Flash too?

Thanks in advance!

Opening New Windows In Flash
Hello,

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")

Thanks,

Opening New Windows In .swf File
I am unsure how to get around this problem. I want to be able to open a window when clicking on a button in the .swf file. Which I have done, however.. I want to be able to hide the toolbars, menus, scroll bar etc.

Please can someone help

The coding I have so far is:

on (release) {

gotoAndStop(1);
}

I have tried using java script, but this causes a problem when opening a .swf file, but works fine when opening in an HTML browser.

I would appreciate any help
Thank you.

Controlling New Opening Windows
Hello again!

Once again I have a problem.

On the site im building in flash, I have a series of thumbnails that I would liked to be viewed in a new window when they're clicked on.

The problem is that I have no idea how to do this.

Ideally I would like to have the new windows open at specific sizes in order to accommodate the exact size of the picture's to be viewed.

Also, can anyone provide details on opening just a plain looking window(eg - with no menu, and just the 'X' in the corner to close the window).

Any sort of help on this would be appreciated greatly.

Cheers

Opening Multiple Windows
Hi. I have read the tutorial on opening a single window within Flash with Javascript, but I was wondering how I would open multiple windows within Flash?

I have a list of links in my Flash movie, and I have re-directions to new windows, but they're full-sized and I need them smaller.

If anyone could help, it'd be appreciated.

Closing And Opening Windows Help
Hi, On my main page I have an enter button on the homepage, when clicked on it gives a popup to the real webpage. I want it so that when you click enter that it closes the homepage, and opens the popup page.

Here is what I currently have as my coding but it doesnt work, its just says you are about to close this window and then when you click yes it just closes but no popup.

on (release) {
getURL("javascript:main();");
getURL("javascript:window.close();");
}

Opening Links In New Windows?
Hi all!

I'm just wanting to know how to open links in a new browser window in flash.

You see, I have a dynamic textbox, and the text is generated on button click. The text is on a txt file and is HTML based. the thing is that I put the normal code for opening in a new window but it still doesn't work cause it opens in the same window... Does it take a special action or something? Here's the code I use for the links:

<a href="http://www.flashkit.com" target="_blank">http://www.flashkit.com</a>

Variables Opening Windows
hey!
got jpeg files loading & resizing from an xml on a flash movie, also want'em to open full size on a new window in case someone wants to save'em.
right, I´m calling javascript from the html:

getURL ("javascript:launchwin('pic.jpg' , 'newwindow' , 'scrollbars=no, height=500, width=500')");

the 'pic.jpg' comes from a variable 'image' created in the parse function

how do I get the variable into the javascript (as it goes between ""!) so i can open the pics in floatable windows... is there any other way??

thanx!

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 Seperate Windows
I added a script to a few different buttons that opens a new customized window when clicked. The problem i have is if someone clicks back to the site without closing the window, then clicks another button, new content will not replace the old content in the window.

What can I do so that new content will be added to the popped up window if one clicks on another button and doesn't close the window?

You can see my predicament if you go to http://giosound.com/index2.html then click on "SAMPLES" then select any of the videos.

The script for opening a window I added to each button was...
Code:
on (release) {
//customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = "http://www.giosound.com/video/html/unitedairlines.html";
target_winName = "United";
width = 463;
height = 285;
toolbar = 0;
location = 0;
directories = 0;
status = 0;
menubar = 0;
scrollbars = 1;
resizable = 0;
//sends data back to the function
openWinCentre(address, target_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);
}

Hyperlinks In XML Opening In New Windows
Can't for the life of me sort this one out...

I'm loading text data from an external XML file. Within a given bit of text is a hyperlink. This is loaded dynamically into a dynamic text field within Flash (html enabled). When I click the link, it opens as normal. Unfortunately, I can't get the link to open in a NEW WINDOW. It keeps loading as a new tab in any existing IE window.

How do I force it to open in a new window? Reason I need to do this is the window has to be resized via JS...

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!

Opening Borderless Windows

Thanks!

Opening Links In New Windows
Hi all! I'm developing a portfolio site that uses html text fields with links in them. Now, I would have SWORN that at one time these links automatically opened in new windows, which is the desired behavior (that's a discussion for another thread, but there are very good reasons to not open in the same window).
However, now I find that the links open in the same window, and when I try to make them open in a new window, it's always blocked by popup blockers. What gives? Surely there must be a way to get this basic functionality without a crazy javascript hack.
What do you guys do to open new windows?
Thanks so much in advance!

Closing And Opening Windows
I`ve build a site for a friend of mine just to get myself started on some flash but I`ve run into a little problem.

On this site there are various thumbs that open a new window and show the original pic, nutting special there, except that I want each file to open in it`s own window.
In this case new pics open in the same window and not a new one.

It is rather annoying as I also created a player that opens in a new window which stops playing if you look at start looking at a picture after that :$

So what I need is either a window-closer or some script that opens every picture in it`s own window or just a special window for the player.....

Hope you can help me out here

the code for the pictures to open the new window I use is:
b3.onRelease = function() {
getURL("javascript:Launch('http://www.url.com/pic.jpg', 630, 470)");
};
