Pop Up Window Doesn't Work
Hey, I used the pop-up tutorial here on kirupa, and heres what I got:
in the as layer i have :

Code:
_global.openWinCentre = function(url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) {
getURL("javascript:window.open('"+url+"','"+winName+"','"+"width="+w+",height="+h+",toolbar="+toolbar+",location="+location+",directories="+directories+",status="+status+",menubar="+menubar+",scrollbars="+scrollbars+",resizable="+resizable+",top='+((screen.height/2)-("+h/2+"))+',left='+((screen.width/2)-("+w/2+"))+'"+"');void(0);");
};
and on the button I got this:

Code:
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("/enter") {
gotoAndPlay("over");
}
}
on (release) {
// customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = "index2.htm";
target_winName = "vsf";
width = 482;
height = 421;
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);
}
But when I view it online th pop up doesn't work, it does when I view it in my folders, and in opera the pop-up works, but it still have scrollbar and it is lot of white space in top so it get weird.

Can't Get Popup Window To Work, Could Use Code Help.
This is the first time I've tried to open a popup window in flash, and I can't get it to work. The site I'm building has the navigation buttons contained in an animated movie clip. All of the navigation buttons work fine. But there's a link that the company wants me to add that opens a window to another site who hosts a video commercial for the company (it has to be a link to the other site, it can't be added directly to the customers site).

The link the other company sent me is for javascript (I'll include it in the attached code), and the code works great if I just insert the javascript in the html. But I wanted to try and get the link in the Flash menu. I've tried several versions of the code, from applying it directly to the button to naming an instance of it and attaching the actionscript in the movie clip. When I'm done, I get two different problems. On my XP machine, I get a warning error about the flash trying to open something to another server. On my Vista machine, nothing happens at all.

Anyway, I'm including the original javascript and several versions of the actionscript I've tried (with the actual site information replaced with "fakeurl.com", wasn't sure how these forums felt about including site info). Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I've searched and searched for about a week, and I'm tempted to just do away with the Flash button and use a cheesy javascript button for this one link.

Thanks!

Flashkit Pop-up Window Tutorial Doesn't Work
I found this pop-up tutorial here and it doesn't work:

In the html file between the <head> tags
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
function newWindow(url,name,features){
var newWin = window.open(url,name,features);
}
</script>

In the flash button
Get URL ("javascript:newWindow('your_html_file.html','newW in','height=***,width=***, toolbar=0,menubar=0,location=0,scrollbars=1,resiza ble=1')", vars=POST)

Note: 1 = yes or the window will have this option. 0 = no or the window will not have his
option

Note: *** will equal the size of the window that will pop-up.

I've followed every step exactly and tried every possible variation, it just opens a blank page with the address ("javascript:newWindow etc..

Any help much obliged

Javascript Open New Window Doesn't Work From Cd-rom
Here's the situation:
I'm making a flash container for my portfolio, resume, etc. I'm using javascript to open new browser windows that load other flash, director projects that i've done. (Primarily b/c my portfolio is 800x600 and so are some of the projects i'm loading & also i don't want veiwer to lose the portfolio window by loading a movie on top of in in a highter level.) This works great on the web, but not from a cd-rom. A browser window opens that is blank, pure white, no content with my javascript from the URL feild as the title and the address. Any reason why? What am i doing wrong? Is there any other way to play another swf or dcr movie externally from the main movie, ie in another window? All the info i can find is about how to load a movie into the current movie, either in a level or a target.

thanx in advance.

Javascript:window.close() Won't Work - What Am I Doing Wrong?
Still pretty new at AS3, so no surprise I'm having trouble...

My SWF opens in a new floating window, and I want a button to close that window so users can go back to the regular site.

Added a button, instance named closeWindow_mc

Here's my actionscript:

Code:
closeWindow_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeWindow);

function closeWindow(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var url:String = 'javascript:window.close()';
var cWindow:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
try {
navigateToURL(cWindow);
} catch (e:Error) {
trace('Error occurred!');
}
}
I also tried
Code:
closeWindow_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeWindow);

function closeWindow(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var url:String = 'javascript:window.opener=self; window.close()';
var cWindow:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
try {
navigateToURL(cWindow);
} catch (e:Error) {
trace('Error occurred!');
}
}
but that didn't work either.

The original code had the URLRequest var named "request", but that colored blue in the AS editor, so I figured that was a reserved word and should be avoided. And it didn't work.

I'm sure this is obvious, but I'm stumbling...

Complete Newbie -- How To Expand Work Window
When you are looking at the main workspace for flash, I seen a large grey panel with a little white square in the middle, which is what I can work on, how do I make that actual workspace appear bigger?

Also I can't seem to find any good online tutorials. I only bought the Flash MX CD and serial code and don't have the manual. Flashkit's tutorials are mainly for flash 4 and 5 and I can't follow them with MX 2004 pro. Help!

Actions Such As Stopping Against A Wall Don't Work If The Window Is Scrolling. Help?
so yeah, when the character normally hits a wall when he's near the middle of the canvas he stops and doesn't go forward, but when he reaches a certain _x coordinate and the window starts scrolling to the right, say, his _y just keeps going up and he shoots up the wall...
what's goin on here?
here's the code for the stopping i think:

PHP Code:

stopped = function() {
        for (i=0; i<1; i += 0.5) {
            if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) || YukiMC._xscale == -28.8) {
                if (world.platform.hitTest(YukiMC._x-(YukiMC._width/2), YukiMC._y-120, true)) {
                    YukiMC._x += YukiMC.speed;
                }
            }
            if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) || YukiMC._xscale == 28.8) {
                if (world.platform.hitTest(YukiMC._x+(YukiMC._width/2), YukiMC._y-120, true)) {
                    YukiMC._x -= YukiMC.speed;
                }
            }
        }
        // if (_root.world.platform.hitTest(YukiMC._width, YukiMC._height/2, true) || _root.world.platform.hitTest(YukiMC._width-120, 62.45, true)) {
    }
    stopped();

Combo Boxes Doesn't Work Inside Window Component
Hello again,

I have two .swf files. A parent swf uses a window component that's contentpath is equal to the second swf file.

The second swf file contains a combobox component. When I run the second swf file the combo box works fine; when I call the same swf from within the first swf (under the window component) the box will not "drop down"... it just sits there like a stoned rock.

Any suggestions?

My Javascript "open Popup Window" Doesn't Work In Flash 8 Anymore? HELP?

Only when I save it back to my earlier version of Flash MX 2004, do my open pop up windows javascript work again on my buttons. Has anyone had this problem beside me or is there some type of new security issue I'm overlooking?

My links/rollovers don't work in Mozilla and the dropdown menu part don't work (the rollovers and the getURLs) in any browser.

What's wrong with this??? I think it's something simple.
I've already tried:

Code:
this._lockroot = true;
I also tried writing the AS as:

Code:
one.title.text = "The Text";
one.onRollOver = over;
one.onRollOut = out;
function over () {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
function out () {
this.gotoAndPlay(11);
}
one.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://www.thelink.com");
}
...didn't work...

Link In Pop-up Window (flash File) Target=parent Window
I have a flash demo that is opened from our web site and spawns a new window. At the end of the demo is a link that directs the user to "get more information." I would like this link to open the "more info" page in the PARENT window rather than the spawned window. Currently I have my Flash link coded with:

on (release) {
getURL ("http://www.hiddenmind.com/materials.html", _parent);
}

This is not working. Do I need to add some code to the parent window and/or the HTML page where the Flash file is embedded?

Thanks for your help! I can't seem to find the solution

Passing Variables From Spawned Window To Parent Window
Is it possible to pass a variable from a child to a parent window.

I have one page (Index.html) with a swf (index.swf). A button on the index.swf launches demo.html containing a demo.swf. When the user gets to a certain point in demo.swf, I need to tell index.swf that it has arrived. Is this possible.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
Cordially,

Pausing After Preload If Browser Window Is Not Active Window
Hi folks,

I'm trying to figure out how to do this, but so far I have had no success. The intention is for anything like a Flash trailer, intro movie or such like which is large to preload and once this is done check to see if the user is still viewing that browser window.

So if during the preloading the user opens/selects a different window and the preloading finishes then the Flash will go to a paused screen, awaiting the user to indicate they want to proceed (eg a play button). If however the user still has, or has returned to, the browser window it will skip the pause screen and play the animation.

For an example the 9th chapter of Ninjai.com seems to do this (I haven't checked the other chapters).

Any help would be appreciated.

GetURL - Targetting The Parent Window Of Popup Window?
Hello!

Yet another thread on getURL but I did a search and couldn't find anything related to my question, so here goes...

I have a website which launches a 900x400 popup window which contains an interactive flash movie. From within this movie, I am loading in HTML from a text file which populates a scrolling textfield.

I was pleased to learn that href links within the text file work as links within the flash textfield. What I want to do is have these links open in the parent window that spawned the popup.

If I use target=_blank on these links, the pages open up in a new browser window.

If I use target=_parent on these links, the pages open up in the same popup window and obviously replace the flash movie content (goes to the link instead of launching it in the parent window).

Is it possible to use the _parent target to launch these links into the main website that spawned the popup or is _blank the only one?

If anyone has any tips or experience on this matter it would solve a huge headache for me.

Thank you!

Loading External SWF's Into A New Flash Window Instead Of A Browser Window?
I have this flash presentation where I have buttons when clicked on, a (_blank) browser window pops-up and begins playing external SWF's.

The problem is that, with windows XP, every time I click the button(s) to have the browser window pop-up, to play my externals, the damn 'virus protection notification' thing pops-up first, asking me if this content is allowed. Is there a way to turn this off? My client does not want to have to "allow" the browser to play the external SWF's everytime. I've tried everything but no luck.

Better yet, is there a way to have the external SWF's pop-up in a totally new flash window, on top of the main (presentation) window? I don't want the external SWF's playing in the same window, but rather show in a new window entirely. Can anyone help me? This project is past-due and it needs to go out today. I'll attach the current scripting I'm using so far, if it helps. Thanks so much!
