Open Email Window When Clicked
Ive created a sprite and added a mouse click event with the listener as

PHP Code:

private function sendEmail(e:MouseEvent){ var _url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:email@email.com"); navigateToURL(_url, "_blank"); }

is there a better way? as this acts as a popup which gets blocked and opens (in firefox) an unnecessary window (tab).
thanks

Email Link That Doesn't Open A Browser Window
I'm producing an interactive flash CD in flash ver5. It will be published as an exe file. There are some email links I've placed within the movie using get url and the normal mailto:someone@somewhere.com

Problem is when you run the movie and click on an email link it not only opens the mailer (outlook express) but also a browser window! Anyway I can stop the browser window opening?

Thanks for taking the time, Steve

hi all!

is there a standard script that is used for linking a piece of text to create a new window and open the users email program?

for instance:
on my contact page i want to say, "please contact me here."
and once they press the word "here" it opens a new window, but it opens their email program with my email address in it.

thanks!

How do you get an asf to play in the users default player when clicked. Tried this, fscommand("exec","start YourFile.asf"); but doesnt work. I am running win2000 pro, found another thread that mentioned to use a batch file to start it, but that method didn't work either. Anybody know of any other ways?

Fscommand To Open A File With Its Default Application
Hi!,

I just modified a little bit of a quite old animation we had (Flash 5) that was used as an intro for a CD, and when I published it again (in Flash 8) the botton that opened a .pps file didnt work anymore, I didnt change a thing in the AS Code at first

Is this one:
==============
on (release)
{
getURL("FSCommand:exec","Lanza.bat")
getURL("FSCommand:quit")
}
==============

I looked in documentations for any syntaxis change because of the ActionScript version and found that this one would work, but it didnt :

==============

on (release)
{
fscommand("exec", "Lanza.bat");
fscommand("quit")
}
==============

I tried publishing it (as a .exe file) in different versions (from Flash 5 to Flash 8, and in ActionScript 1.0 and 2.0). I would really appreciate your help =).

See ya!

Can't Set Flash Player As Default App To Open SWF Files On Mac
This is the weirdest thing. Somehow the default application to open SWF files on my mac has changed from the Flash Player to a random Mac Projector file (i.e. presentation.app) that I published from Flash for another project. So whenever I double click an SWF it opens both the file I clicked and the other projector file. They are in separate windows but if I close one of them they both close.

To try to fix this I went to my SWF hit cmd+i for the info, changed the Open with application to the Flash Player and hit change all. After I close the info box and try to open the file, the same thing happens. It reverts back to opening with the random projector. So I tried deleting the projector to see what would happen and instead of opening in the regular flash player it went and found another random projector file to be the default application. WTF is going on?!

[AS3]How To Open An URL In The Default Browser From A Flash Standalone Projector .exe
Hi,

we are developing a small application wih Flash CS3 which will be released as a standalone Flash Projector.exe.

We want to have a link to our website in the flash application that should open our webpage in the Default Browser of the System.

We tried:

PHP Code:

navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com"),"_blank");

But when I click on that link in our standalone.exe, on my system "ultraedit" gets opened and it tries to open a path on the local system and the webpage adress after that. "C:ProjectsInflationhttp:\www.google.de".

What are we doing wrong?

Several Questions (default Window Position, Hiding Menu's, And Other Q's)
Several questions (default window position, hiding menu's, and other q's)

Question 1: I am wondering how come when I test my game
it looks normal, but when I publish it as swf or .exe

It seems to be oddly sized, and its not in the middle of the sceen
its sort of half off

if this is the screen
|--|--|
|--|--|
|--|--|, then the program is positioned here

|--|--|
|--|!!|
|--|!!|, its not properly on the screen...

How can I fix this, my program's width/height is set to
1024 by 768...

Question 2: How can hide the default menu, which contains
file - view - controll - help, in which you can select
menu options like zoom in, I dont want this...

How can I remove it?

Question 3: how can I disable the hotkeys for my program

such as ctrl += will zoom in, and so on, just the basic
flash hotkeys...

Question 4: How do I remove the title of my program
which says "Macromedia Flash Player 8"

Thanks in advance guys

Function Invoked When Closing Projector Using The Default Window Close Button
Hello guys! I am just having some little problem in dealing with this.

I am making a flash application and I am trying to find function to
use when I press the close button of the projector window. I dont
want to make a button that uses fscommand("quit") since this would be
impractical knowing that a default close button on the window is
already available. Anyway the purpose of the function is that when I
close my application, a dialog box/message would appear as a reminder
that some data has not yet been saved and give the user an option to
save or quit the application. I would appreciate any help. I tried
searching and I can not find any third party software that can do such
task. Thanks in advance.

// 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")
}

Open Email Client Through Link In Text-file Loaded In Flash?
Hi,

My flash document contain a few buttons which open some movieclips and also a txt-file with an an address and an emailaddress.
The code that triggers the movieclips and the variables looks like this:

Code:

menu.btn1.onRelease = function() {
_root.container.unloadMovie();
loadMovie("textField.swf", _root.container);
loadVariables("geschiedenis.txt", "_root.container");
loadMovie("scrollerWat.swf", _root.lijn1.scroll_mc);
this._parent.activateItem (this);
};

Everything works like a charm but the thing is I want users to be able to click on the email address so they can sent me a mail.
Normally this isn't a problem in flash typing in the URL "mailto:" option but since I dynamicaly load a text into flash I don't know how to add this "mailto" function.

My text-file contains the following:

Code:
&content=

A de Busstop
P.O.box 3385
