How To Open A Flash File In A Fixed Window Size?
here is the thing...

http://silentscreams.europe.webmatri...reamscapes.swf

this time what i want to do is, when a picture is clicked i want that picture to be opened in a new window. the window should be having the exact width and height of the picture. and the picture is going to be a .swf file

so its like opening a swf file of the pic to its width and height in a new window.

and when the mouse moves to the pic that person want to see, a preview is shown from the center of the circle. i tried it but that takes too much space, any idea of how to reduce the size of the file

Open An Swf In A Fixed Window
I am making a cd with a flash file on it. Inside this piece are a bunch of links to pdf and stuff like that.

I have a video I need to place as an intro...it's a movie clip or an swf.

I can do one of two things: 1 place the movie in my file to play at the beginning and then stop and go to the next frame or 2 have it open in a new window on load, but have that window a predetermined size.

I've tried both and here are my problems.

For 1.
my movie is set up where i have a bunch of labeled frames and you move from each labeled frame to the next with the navigation buttons. So, each frame is a stop frame. I want this intro movie to play when the user first opens the window, then stop and go to the next frame. What is happening is that I try to put a gotoandplay at the end of the movie, but you can't reference frame on the scene stage from a clip. My movie keeps playing over and over...i just want it to play, stop and move to the next frame.

Any suggestions?

For #2.
I tried the geturl where it will open the swf when the user opens the flash file...that's right...but it opens it in a big ugly window and i need it to be a certain height and width.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Open Fixed Browser Window
I know there are a million tutorials, but none seem to work for me. I want to make a button in my flash open a new window with a fixed size. My AS is as follows:

on (release) {
url = "template.swf?name="+_root.name+"&email="+_root.em ail+"&cartid="+_root.cartid+"&style="+_root.style;
getURL("javascript:openWindow('url','newWindow','t oolbar=0,location=0,directries=0,status=0,menubar= 0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,width=550,height=500,le ft=80,top=180')");
}

The function is working, however, it can't find the url because it thinks the url is 'url'. I tried making it url instead of 'url' but then it came up as an error. So I guess my question is, how can I pass my url var to the javascript??
thanks everyone!

[CS3]Open Browser Window At Fixed Size (ACTION SCRIPT VERSION NO JS)
I am sure this has been covered a zillion times but I'm having trouble with doing searches on this site today for some reason.

I have an AS that will open a new page at a fixed size, no JS needed in the html head, just the AS applied to a button but it only works when the publish settings are set to FlashPlayer 7, AS 2.0.

I need it to work in FlashPlayer 8, AS 2.0. How can I make that happen?

Code:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('http://www.google.com','newWin','width=610,height=600,left=0,top=0,toolbar=yes,location=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,resizable=yes,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}
I have attached the FLA file.

Open Window To Certain Dimensions From Flash Button
Hi all,

Can anybody answer this question?

I designed part of my homepage in FLASH. I created buttons within it. They work fine. They open up other pages I created. But I want to control the size of the HTML page window that opens up. I know how to do it with a normal HTML page, but with Flash, I have no idea what the code should be or where to put the code.

THANK YOU!!!

I'm trying to get a getURL for a button in my flash file. I know how to open a new window, but how do I make it so that the link opens in the main window?

How Do I Make A Flash Button Open A URL (.html File) In Same Window?
I’ve created a button in Flash CS3 which has been imported into Dreamweaver CS3. The button works fine in preview (with Internet Explorer) but opens in a new window. How do I get it to open in the same window, on the same page?

The code that has been written to the button’s action-script 3.0 (in a separate layer) in Flash is:

button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);
function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("videos.html"));
}

When I add the code , “_self” to the action-script, nothing happens when I preview it in Explorer, why? What am I doing wrong?

The code now looks like this:

button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);
function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("videos.html"), “_self”);
}

Fixed Size Browser Window Pop-up From Flash?
Hi there... I'm finishing off a flash website for a band and I've created a little music player that's 380 x 250 pixels... There's a "launch music player" button in my site and when pple click on it, I'd like the music player (which is a flash file embedded in an html file) to pop up in it's own little browser window. I know how to make normal full size windows pop up (by using the: getURL("location", "_blank").... function) but I need a browser window that doesn't scroll and isn't resizeable, with a fixed size of 380 x 250 to pop up. I know how to do this in HTML (dreamweaver), but not in flash - can anyone help?

Opening External Program Within Fixed Window In Flash Player
I've been trying to open an external program in Flash MX.
I've created the FSCommand folder along with the batch file to execute it. This all works....

I now want to be able to run the program within the flash player itself and not in a different window.

The application should be able to run within a fixed space provided in the player.

The picture below is what I want it to look like. Right now it runs the dos batch file but not embeded in the player as you see in the picture. The Dos window is seperate.

I want to embed the dos window so it look like it's part of the movie and not a seperate window.

thanks

Open New Window With Button?
Using Flash MX I have a image with buttons that animate when rolled over. When clicked I want them to open a page in a new window.

If I just use one layer with the image and buttons and attach:
on (release) {
getURL("JavaScriptopup();");
}

to the buttons and then the following to the html

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
function popup() {
window.open('http://www.virtualgeorge.com/cantera/club.htm','','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=n o,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no, width=350,height=400,left=80,top=0');
}
</SCRIPT>

This all works fine. I just made one button and dragged it to the stage where ever I wanted a button. However, I am wanting to use 8 buttons on different layers in my movie as in

http://www.virtualgeorge.com/test/splash3.html
the splash3.fla is there also.

When I use the button on multiple layers I get "Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (release) {"

How can I get my buttons to open new windows?

Thanks,

Open Window From Button
right, i've got this code on my buttons

Code:
on (release) {

getURL("javascript:window.open('scelleton.html','newWin','width=320,height=500');void(1);");
}
which makes each html page open in the same windows as not to clog up the browser with excessive windows. which was all fine and dandy until i decided to make a splash screen and have the main page open in a smaller window like the pro's do now when i use the above script in the main window the new html pages load up in that same window thus makeing it impossible to navigate the site because the main window is now gone.

what part of the above code determins if the window opened is a new one or not? is there anyway to get round this or am i going to have to open them all in seperate windows?

thx, squid.

Open New Window W/o Button
I've found a gazillion tutorials on opening a new window and defining its parameters in Flash but only if you're opening it with a button.

Mine isn't working and I don't know if I just screwed up on the code or if it is because I'm trying to do it from the movie itself as a frame action rather than as an on event thing. I'm basically trying to show the user how to use the site's navigation so it needs to open on its own.

I've got this:

getURL("JavaScriptopup();");

in a keyframe on the main timeline.

And this:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function popup() {
window.open('samandteal.html','','toolbar=no,locat ion=no,direct

ories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resiza ble=no,width=

250,height=250,left=288,top=50');
}
</script>

in the head tag of the html the movie is embedded in.
I had another popup script in there but dumped it thinking they might be conflicting somehow.

So, which is screwed up? The flash? The JS? Both? And how do I fix it?

Thanks!

Open New Window Through Button
I am currently trying to modify an example script on a friends flash site to open a new window.

Currently when the button is clicked it takes you to a new scene in the flash movie called sp6 using the following script

onClipEvent(load){
this.b_pic.gotoAndStop('b6);
this.mc_b_txt.gotoAndStop('b6');
but = 'sp6'
}

Instead of taking the user to this scene in the movie I need it to open a URL in a NEW html window without disturbing the mouse over effects of the button or the title of the button from mc_b_txt

Anyone have any ideas?

Linking A Button To Open Window Component
Hi i am new to flash and this is probably a simple question but i have created a button symbol in flash and want to link this button to open a window component.... so what i have created is a map then i have made a button using a square shape. I created a pop up using the window component.... the windows component has a movie clip which shows one of those 360 degree pan photos.... i have all this working fine.... i just need to know how to open the window component using this button..... I have this working alright by creating a new frame with the window component on it and using the onclick goto and stop frame 4.... however this feels like not a good way to do it, i'm sure you can somehow link it by using instance names - i just dont' know the code very well at all..... also the way i did it once i close the pop up window component using the close button, it for some reason doesn't let the button work for the other pop up 360 degree photos....

Thanks for any help
