Open Pdf Files Causing IE Window To Open And Crash
On a macintosh OSX, when trying to open a pdf using:

getURL(./somePDF.pdf")

this command opens a pdf document correctly but also opens Internet Explorer. Sometimes this causes a problem because it crashes IE and forces it to quit.

Is there a way to open PDF documents using flash that doesn't open an IE browser window on mac OSX?

Especific Frame In External Swf
hi!
i have a little question: Im begining to make a flash website where I have a main.swf and different buttons that load different external swf files. Is it possible to 'jump' to an specific frame in an external swf?.

Lets say I have an 'about' button that loads an 'about.swf' movie, but I dont want my 'about.swf' to start at frame 1 but at frame 5, or 15, or whatever. Do I use a 'gotoAndPlay' or something like that? sorry if my question seems stupid, Im pretty new

Open A New Browser Window And Go To Frame(n) In The New Window
Hi I need some help.

I'm trying to load a new html file that contains a movie but I like to specify to what frame to proceed in that movie I try to write this in actionscript I think it is easier to understand.

// I have 2 html files contact.html and home.html

// And I have one swf file named home.swf with 2 scenes named "home" and "contact"

// The home.html and the contact.html both contain the same home.swf movie

// currently I'm in home.html I like to getURL("../main/contact.html")
that loads the contact.html and the contact.html contains the home.swf but I like to proceed to the gotoAndStop("Scene",1) or gotoAndStop("contact",1)

I hope that was clear enough if you may know the answer please email me I have suffered a lot on this but I just couldn't come up with the answer.

Issue Using Window.open For A New Window...
this one is interesting...

i have a page called main.html which contains main.swf and the javascript function to open a new browser window... no problem there.

however, when I go to my frameset (index.html) which contains main.html.... and try go open a new window from the main.swf flash piece... i get a javascript error. what is going on with the frameset that is causing the open new window to fail?

try it out.

go to my site:
http://www.menuengine.com (index.html)
>> click on Arctic Thunder in the menu, then click on Character Work.

now go to http://www.menuengine.com/main.html and try the same thing... it works here.

the only difference is that you first tried it from a frameset housing main.html

any clue?

here's the code that's in main.html

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function popupwindow(){
window.open("The file that you want to pop up here","","height=350,width=500,menubar=0,resizable =0,scrollbars=0,status=0,titlebar=0,toolbar=0,left =0,top=0")
}
</script>

thx,

Flash Crashes Every Time I Open A Movie
I have a fla file i have been working non for some time for a client. The file was working perfectly until a few days ago when i tried to open it. Flash immediately crashed. So i tried opening it on a different machine with flash on. same thing, not even an error message. I have now tried it on around 5 machines with no luck. So today i resigned myself to having to restart the project. However i tried opening the file as a library and it opened OK. One of the library items (a movie clip named "movie") is corrupted as if i click on it in the library it causes flash to crash. SO when i am opening the file, flash tries to load that movie and it crashes. is there any way i can edit the fla with another program to remove this file? i tried in a hex editor searching for movie but it doesn come up with anything congruent... Any ideas? i'd rather not lose that work (although with the library back it is not as bad!)

Anoying Alert Every Time I Open Flash
Hi,

I put an html file in the HTML folder within the Flash MX files. When I loaded flash (the publish settings window does this too) I got the following alert:

(The file was called FlashObject.html).
I removed this file, but still get the alert when I open flash or go to the publish settings and it's becoming increacingly anoying.

How can I stop this?
Thanks

Greetings,

I have created a button in Flash. I've assigned the "Get URL" action to it OnClick to open a new window which grabs an HTML page that has a QuickTime movie embedded. What I would like to happen is when the user clicks the button, the window that opens would be a specific size that is slightly larger than the QT movie. How do I do that?

Since I have got your attention, I have one more question—Dreamweaver related. Again, I have a button. I inserted a "rollover" button (from the tool pallette) into a layer. I've added the Behavior to open another window at a specific size. The problem is, the behavior options only allow this to happen OnMouseOver. I want it to happen OnClick. Do I need to acquire additonal Behaviors? Got any clues? I'd like to do this action without having to open the HTML and futz with the code but if I have to well...ok.

Thanks

Open Up A Window Again...plz Help Me
Hi, I have recently added a window with scrollable text in it, on my site that Im working on. I got it from a tutorial here on Flash Kit. What the tutorial explained was how to create a window with scrollable text, also with close and minimize buttons. What the tutorial did not explain was how to open the window again if someone wanted to!!That's what I really need to know now. Please can someone help?

PS: I have made the button to open the window, but dont know what actions to give it.

PSS: I'm not talking about a browser window, Im talking about re-opening a flash window.

Much Appreciation,
Vox

Open A New Window...
The tutorial on opening new windows from a flash movie was helpful, but I got lost at the explaination of how to set the window's perameters (window size, toolbar, scroll bar, etc.). What is the exact javascript code you need to put on the html page where the flash movie is embedded? Will this work for all browsers? Is there a batter alternative?

Also, I need my flash movie buttons to open new windows that are different from eachother. Is this possible?
