Flash :: Opening Browser Ontop Of Flash Cdrom.

Email Hyerlink Without Opening Browser (CDROM App)
I have an email hyperlink on a CDROM app that I have created.

I am basically using the following:

getURL(vURL, "_blank");

Problem is that it is opening a browser window as well as the email application. Anyone suggest a way to prevent this browser window opening.

I would consider using a third party app but this CDROM unfortunately has to work on Windows 95 which none of the 3rd party apps do as far as I am aware.

Many thanks

[F8] Opening A Local Folder With Flash On CDROM
Greetings Everyone,

I was handed a project today where I need to make a cross platform (windows/OSX) CD ROM using a Flash 8 interface. All that happens is when the user clicks on a button in flash it opens up a folder on the CD ROM.

I'm guessing I'll be using the "fscommand" however my searches show me how to execute .exe files but I couldn't find anything on opening folders. Any advice?

Thank you!

Fscommand, Browser And A CDROM
I need to run a file (index.html) on a CD (inside an interactive flash piece) in Internet Explorer. Basically, the user clicks on a button and the file launches in IE.
Do I use fscommand? How do I send a parameter with it saying which file to open?
Is there another way to make flash open a particular browser, instead of the default one (which might be firefox, which I've tested and won't work)?

Opening New Browser Windows In Flash 5
Hello. I know there are some tutorials here that explain how to open new browser windows within a Flash swf. Unfortunately I tried them and got confused. I don't know that much about JavaScript, but I'm comfortable with ActionScript in Flash 5. Here's what I'd like to do:

I have a swf file (main.swf) residing on a web page (main.html).

There are 4 buttons in main.swf. I'd like each button to open a new browser window(page1.html, page2.html, etc.). That's the easy part. I know how to do that!

However, I'd like each browser window to be a specific size. And, if it's possible, I'd like each window to be plain (no scroll bars, not resizeable, etc.). It would also be wonderful if I could control the placement of the new browser windows in relation to the main window, but this isn't necessary.

Thanks for any help. This is an effect that I would use a lot!

Opening A New Browser Window From Flash
Does anyone know of a method fo opening a link in a new window in firefox from within flash that isn't blocked by the popup blocker. It seems like the security in FF 2.0.0.6 (I'm on 2.0.0.11) has been tightened to prevent any _blank or window.open calls from flash getting through. I've tried the standard getURL, fscommand and ExternalInterface call to a javascript window.open method. Nothing now works.

I understand the need for the popup blockers, but this is a legitimate popup only invoked on user interaction (click) - the same window.open call in an onClick event outside of flash works fine and I guess it is blocked from within flash because there is no way of knowing if the call is invoked from user interaction or automatically - but seems a shame.

So any other way of getting a new browser window to open from within flash in firefox?

Opening A New Browser Window In Flash
Hello,

I did the tutorial on Opening a New Browser Window in Flash and when I used kirupa’s settings for the flash URL and JavaScript in HTML everything went fine, but now comes the problem. When I changed to my HTML file name and flash file name, the window does not pop up. I changed the numbers for the width and height in the HTML page, but I have a sense that I am not writing the right URL and java script code correctly. I don’t know what to write where it’s written KirupaStyle and this is what I wrote in the flash URL:

javascript:Launch('E:filesDim Light Design websiteTMP1usbk7l8fp.htm/logo_rio_popup.html')
and this is what I put on the HTML:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>

Anyone would help me please??

Opening Up Another Browser Window From Flash
Hi,

I am using the following command to call up a html page. Rather than clearing my flash site on screen , and being taking to the new link - can anyone tell me please how i open up the loaded page in another browser window, so my main site can still be seen.

The reason for this, is that i am linking to my online store, but wish for people to play the audio files on the my site on its media player rather than trying to get the store to do it, so i still need the main flash site to be visible with this other loaded page in another window.

The line i am using, which loads the page in the same window as the flash site is:

getURL("http://www.jsten.co.uk/ecomcart","_self");

i think, it will be an alteration to the _self command, but i dont know what

Can anyone please help

Cheers

Opening Browser Window On Top Of Flash Piece
Hello,

I've got a Flash projector that fills the entire screen and has a button that, when clicked, opens a URL in a browser window. The problem is if the user already has their browser open, the URL loads into the browser window behind the Flash piece. Is there any way to bring the existing browser window to the top from Flash?

Alternatively, is there a way to display a web page inside the Flash piece? I know this can be done in Authorware, but I don't know about Flash.

Thank you,

- Tom Rydberg

Flash Pages Instead Opening In The Browser Are Downloading.
Hi, I am having problems with diferent browsers and settings in diferent computers:
Sometimes the site opens ok, in Safari for example (I have a Mac ox 10.3.9) .
In explorer just the homepage, and when I try to open a link for another swf nothing happen.
Then in my friends computer even the second page is being downloaded, and dont work aswell.
I have just the initial page in html. the index that calls the SWF home, and then by the actions I set the buttons to open other SWF.

Why this diference in other browser and computers?

Thanks!!

Opening Browser Windows With Flash Buttons
Please could anyone help? I am trying to insert a Flash button into a HTML page which will open a when browser window with no toolbars, no status bar, no menu bar, non resizable etc..

Basically the browser window needs to have the web site in side and that’s all. At the moment I have used one of Dream weaver’s stock buttons and am able to open a browser window with toolbars and scrollbars but need the window without scrollbars etc. I have tried adding a behaviour to the button and specifying 'toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrol lbars=no,resizable=no' but the window still appears with all the things I don’t want it to have.

Can anyone help me out??

Opening Flash Movie In Browser Window Fundamentals
Hi there

OK - This is probably very basic but I cant seem to work it out.

I have created a flash movie (800 by 600) and I want to offer the user 2 options.

1. Launch Maximised (With Only the browser bar with exit, maximise and minimise buttons)

2. Launch at 800 by 600 (With Only the browser bar with exit, maximise and minimise buttons)

For both I want the flash movie to fit snug against browser window edges i.e no white gaps

Can anyone suggest how to accomplish this - I am getting very close but keep getting gaps or the aspect ratio messsing up.

Thanks in advance

Opening A New Browser Window - Exact Size Of A Flash Swf?
Hi,

In Dreamweaver, I've previously used the 'open new browser window' behaviour from a link to display my Flash movies, and entered the .SWF filename as the URL to launch (this launches a browser window thatls exactly the size of the movie, no scrollbars, buttons etc). Can I do a similar thing with Flash's 'get URL' command, or does that only go to HTML/HTM files?

Cheers, Skratch

Opening The Browser Window In Flash Without The Frame Gaps.
Hello,

I'm once again stumped on a very simple, but now complicated code for javascript:window.open. I'm trying to launch the browser with the flash object embedded, but without that annoying space between the flash movie and the browser. To make a more clearer picture, let's say the movie is in a window size of 650x550. The movie is published at this size, but when I call for java to open it at this size it either doesn't fix correctly or I have this little gap in the window. I've tried everything to solve this,but I can't seem to get rid of it. Any suggestions would be greatful.

Local Issue With Opening Browser Window From Flash
I setup an annual report to be put onto cd in flash mx 2004 professional with a ton of components that call (when thumbnails are clicked) new browser windows of images on the cd. now that i have flash 8 installed, it says that the program is calling a potential unsafe internet address, which its not but i think the getURL function is fooling it into thinking that. now, this is made for work and our work has disabled us from changing our internet settings. is there a way to get around this?

Flash Video Opening In Full Browser, Need It Like A Popup
Hello to you all, this is my first post and I'm trying to get my learning head on.
I have imported a video in to Flash Pro 8 encoded it to 300x240 pixels and gone through the process to make a flash video including the published html file. Now when I click on the swf. file directly the movie opens up on my desk-top like a pop-up which I want and plays just perfectly at the size I set it at and complete with the controls I chose.
My problem is that when I click on a text link on my website to open the flash produced html file which in turn opens the swf file, the flash video opens up at the right size but on the left and I have a full browser screen, not the size I want it to as when I tested it from clicking on the swf. file on my desk-top.
Please can you explain how to get the video to open up in another window from the link on my website at the smaller size that I wanted? I presume it is some kind of JavaScript code that needs inserting in flash html page?!?! (probably more complicated than that)?
Can you help please as I want to do this with a number of individual videos with separate links?
Hope all this makes sense?

Flash Index Page Randomly Opening Numerous Pages In Browser
I have created an index page in flash and the rest of the website in Dreamweaver. The index page contains 4 buttons linking to specified sections of my site.

when i open the index page in the browser, it proceeds to open hundreds more of these pages. I am guessing i have created a loop somewhere without realising it.

I have used a simple code in action script for each of these buttons. I have tried the following:

on (press) {
getURL("about_us.html", "_self");
}

on (release) {
getURL("about_us.html", "_blank", "GET");
}

and variations of these but cant seem to get it to work the way it should.

Can you help?

Many thanks

Opening Flash Files In Browser With No Scrolls And Doesn't Resize When Made Smaller
Hi,

Please help! Here is link to a website http://www.mocafusion.com/
When you resize the window there are no scroll bars and the screen doesn't resize to fit the flash file.

The flash file stays the same size always at full window size. There almost appears to be a seperate layer that moves underneath when the browser window is made smaller. How do you acomplish this in Flash. Usually when a flash file is embedded in an html, scroll bars appear when you resize the browser window past the embedded flash file, or a .swf file gets smaller when you make the browser window smaller. This website shows otherwise!

I would appreciate the help.
Thanks,

Buttons Ontop Of Flash Animation
I have a flash movie(generalPlayer) that in turn loads another flash movie(converted from powerpoint) and plays it. I have this generalPlayer loading in a java JDIC browser window. Since i cant make flash automatically grab keyboard focus after the movie is loaded into the browser(one has to click once on movie for movie to get keypress events). I have decided to attempt to put a button that sits on top of the playing slide show so the user can click it to get the window to close, should they decide to close it before the show is finished.

how can i accomplish this? i add a button to the stage, and it does show up. But as soon as the slideshow gets loaded and starts to play it then covers the button. How do i get this button on top of the slideshow?

HELP Opening Swf In Exe Browser?
Hi. I am creating an enhanced CD which I have done before. However, I have my project all completed and when I run the .exe file it comes up 640x480 and in the center of my screen and it looks great, BUT my problem is that when I click on one of the buttons to open up a new link (an swf file), it opens up in a normal windows browser. How do I enable it to open the swf in a new browser BUT be 640x480 and without the windows toolbar. I just want the windows to all be the same size and look the same as the projector file. I'm not sure if I add code to the button link itself or would I have to add it to the swf I am trying to open?? Also, how do I make sure that the new window stays on top of the old windows?? Thanks so so much for your help. I really appreciate it...

Opening A .doc Or .pdf In A Browser?
Hello,

I am using flash mx 2004

I am trying to use getURL to open a .doc file in a seperate browser

getURL ("info.doc");

but it does not actually open the file, just a seperate browser.

I am not even sure if browsers display .doc or .pdf but even being able to allow the user todownload it would be fine too.

If anyone can help point me to what I am missing there, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Help W/ Opening New Browser Window
Heres my problem...*sigh*

I have a index.htm page, which loads a small unseen swf movie called redirflash.swf (loacated at http://fromthegrave.lunarpages.com/cat-bat/cynic/). This is just to redirect to the opening animation which I needed to use this script in (the file is flashindex.htm):

getURL("javascript:window.open('http://fromthegrave.lunarpages.com/cat-bat/cynic/flashindex.htm','CynicStudios','toolbar=no,locatio n=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbar s=no,resizable=no,width=750,height=550,left=250,to p=250');");

Whats happening is...then the javascript goes off, it does load the flashindex.htm that I want it, but the other browser behind it, (which was redirflash) opens a white window. I want that page to go to another page and sit. Nothing more will be done with that window. Anyone got any ideas?

Much appriciated.

Opening Browser Windows
I have a flash piece I would like to have play in a correctly sized browser window which opens smack in the center of the screen. Currently, I have an image on my site's main page that works as a link to open a new browser window for my flash piece. Using the behaviors window (onclick="MM_openBrWindow) in Dreamweaver the window opens by default in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. Anyone know how I can control where the browser window I open up appears? Thanks in advance if you can help.

Run PHP Script Without Opening A Browser
I have a program that sends some variables to a php file like this:
file.php?var1=something&var2=somethingelse

Then the php file opens up in an external browser and saves the variables down to a txt file.

The swf file switches to another swf file.

My problem is that it looks like **** when a browser opens with nothing in it. Another problem is that the variables are kinda secret (Its a highscore) so i would like to run the php-script without letting the user see any browser window open.

DOes anyone have a suggestion what I could do?

Opening Browser Windows
anyone know how to open a new broswer window .. in the middle of a page.. and then possibly another one on top of that ... in the middle of that ?

Opening New Browser Window
I am creating a website and from the enter button on the index page am attempting to open a new browser window.

The code I have in flash is on (release)
{getURL("javascript:window.open('lojko_website.htm l','t','width=800,height=600,screenX=200,screenY=2 00,left=200,top=200,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resiz eable=no,copyhistory=yes,status=yes')");
}

the problem that I am encountering is that the index page will not keep it's original image. When I click on the enter button, the appropriate page will open, however the index page changes to a blank page with just the word [object} appearing, and the code above appears as the URL.

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Opening A New Browser Window
Is there a way a button could trigger a new browser window to pop up and go to a new URL??

Even though this isn't what I want, I have managed to make the browser window of my movie to an address using this script on a button:

on (release) {getURL("http://www.google.co.uk/");

}

Could this script be adapted to open a new window then go to url?

Cheers
