PopUp Window Help - Toggle Control Between Popup And Stage?
How do you toggle control between a popup window and the main timeline?

I have a button that opens up a pop up window. The popup window is going to contain some text instructions. I would like to have the text instructions visible and allow the user to control a movie clip on the stage. Unfortunately, right now once the popup window appears, the user can no longer control the movie clip on the stage until they close the popup. I'm using MX 2004.

Here is the code I have on my button - this creates the popup window (I got this from some other postings):

on (press) {
import mx.containers.Window;
var win = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(_root, Window, true);
win.setSize(375, 262);
win.closeButton = true;
win.contentPath = 'text';
win.click = function() {
this.removeEventListener("click", this);
this.deletePopUp();
};
win.addEventListener("click", win);
}

This is my first posting, please let me know if I haven't provided enough information or if I'm going about this completely wrong. My project will not be posted on a website, it needs to be executed off of a CD so that's why I didn't use a getURL().

Popup Window From Flash, Making Everything Load In Just 1 Popup
I have a simple thumbnail gallery in flash.
When a user clicks a thumbnail, I want a popup to appear. I got this far... now for my problem.

Without closing the window that has popped up, if you click another thumbnail, ANOTHER window pops up so I decided to keep the name of the windows the same to prevent this.

Now... when you click on the thumbnails, everything loads in just the one window without popping up a new window everytime you click a thumbnail but... the popup window stays minimized or "behind the main window".....

any help would be appreciated, thank you!

PopUp Window Gets Blocked By Popup Blockers
Flash CS3
Actionscript 2.0

I have text on the flash website that is being called from an external .txt file. The problem i'm having is that any links called from that .txt file is blocked by popup blockers upon clicking on them.

I have another popup window in the flash itself from on of the navigation buttons, and that one does not get blocked... but the ones in the .txt files do.

However with the design and the content of the flash, I really need that link to be in the .txt file.

Not really sure how i should go about resolving this.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, thank you

Popup Inside A Popup?
Hi.
I'm trying to do some popup windows from flash. Having a small problem.
Trawled the forums for a bit but didn't find anything of use to me.

I have a flash button inside of my main window which opens a popup window just fine. When I put a button inside the popup to try and get it to open yet another popup,
nothing happens. Am using the same function parameters, tried changing the window names and the function name, but it won't do it.

I'm not a flash programmer, so class structures, parent/child stuff etc. defy me.
Is there a simple way to do this?

My code is posted below:

Javascript:

<script language="JavaScript">
function openNewWindow(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures) {
newWindow=window.open(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures);
}
</script>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>

Actionscript:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:openNewWindow('http://www.mysite.ca/test.html','window','height=200,width=500,toolbar= no,scrollbars=no')");
}

Any help getting the buttons inside the popup to open another popup
is greatly appreciated!

cheers,

I need to know how to pop-up a fixed size and controllable browser window from a flash movie.

PopUp F#$% Up
Working on a fairly straightforward popup menu. on mouse over the button base, three buttons slide up. fine. now, the problem comes when I try to make the little bleeders actually do something; onRelease and onPress actions are just closing the menu/sending it back to the first keyframe of the menu movie.

Don't know if that makes any sense.

Help appreciated,

Hiya

For some time I have been trying to find some info on how to create the popup boxes that show up when you mouse over a menu item, as in http://www.flash99good.com/. These follow the mouse pointer within the menu item's range and I think that's great for displaying additional info. Would someone be kind enough to show me some tips on this?

Popup Help
okay...im following this tutorial:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm

and i have everything inplace just like their movie is setup, but when i click my button, nothing happens. im thinking it might have something to do with the target, they have theirs set to "karupa", but even if i leave mine with the same name, it still doesn't work.

this is what i have on the frame where the button is:

Code:
Movieclip.prototype.openWinCentre = function (url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) {
getURL ("javascript:var myWin; if(!myWin || myWin.closed){myWin = 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 + "))+'" + "')}else{myWin.focus();};void(0);");
}

and on the button:

Code:
on (release) {
//customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = "http://www.nlgraphics.com/popups/ani.htm";
target_winName = "print2";
width = 636;
height = 413;
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);
}
any ideas? how exactly should that target path be defined if im not using frames and the window is just a regular popup like the one on the tutorial?

how do i make a button pop up a new window with a specified web address?

Help Please With Popup
I am trying to make a sized popup window in Flash. I have it working - the thing is - it only works when I open a url (a website online) - when I try to open a file thats sitting on my computer in the popup it just freezes up the window and nothing opens.

I need to be able to open from a source other than a website because the application I am designing will be going to a CD-ROM.

Here is my code on the Flash Button:

on (release) {
//customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = "folder/file.htm";
target_winName = "new window";
width = 400;
height = 300;
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);
}

And on the first frame inside the flash movie:

_global.openWinCentre = function(url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) {
getURL("javascript:window.open('"+url+"','"+winNam e+"','"+"width="+w+",height="+h+",toolbar="+toolba r+",location="+location+",directories="+directorie s+",status="+status+",menubar="+menubar+",scrollba rs="+scrollbars+",resizable="+resizable+",top='+(( screen.height/2)-("+h/2+"))+',left='+((screen.width/2)-("+w/2+"))+'"+"');void(0);");
};

Can somebody please tell me how to fix this problem I'm having?

Thanks in advance
