ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 GetURL To Call A Page, But DO NOT Load A Window
Mar 26, 2009
So basically i have a flash application that needs to call a url when a button is clicked, but i don't want it to actually load a new window or even load the url. All the button does is call the url and it logs it, kind of like a click tag. My server keeps track of the number of times the particular url is called.
Everything works fine, but everytime i do it, it opens up a new browser window that is empty, i do not want to open a new window. I am using getURL, but that actually opens a new page, is there any other way to do this?

I have a menu that navigates my webpage. Say, for instance, I click on the "Home" button, it should take me to the homepage.I want the home page to open in the same window, not another window or tab. So I used this code:
Code: on (release) { getURL("http://www.mywebpage.com/home",_self); }
Yet the homepage opens in a new window instead of the same window. Should I be using the "_self" parameter, or something different?
The problem is, this works fine in google Chrome, but not in mozilla firefox or IE. So that eliminates the idea of it being a coding error on my part. Is there another way to do this that all three browsers will support?
I am using a flash menu within a frames setup. What I want to happen is when they press the button in the flash menu within the bottom frame. the page is called into the upper frame and not its own window. Here is a sample of the code I am using
I have created a popup window in a flex website and I wanted to load a HTML page inside that popup. I tried many ways to do it but that way unsuccessful. Can someone recommend me a approach to get this done?
I am using Flash CS3, AS 2.0 and I have a button with -
on (release) { getURL ("http://www.axiomaudio.com/store.html", _blank) }
This is a small banner in an HTML page and I want it to open in the same window instead of opening a new window. I have tried using _self) instead of _blank) but it still opens a new window.
I can't seem to get the buttons I have created in flash to open in the same window.. I've tried 1. leaving it with no target 2. on (release) { getURL("[URL]"); targetPath("_self") } 3. on (release) { getURL("[URL]", "_self"); }
I am creating a website with a flash menu on each page. I am using getUrl code to target each page but I can't seem to get the pages to open in the same window. If I use '_new' or '_blank' the pages open in a new window as they should but if I use '_self' or '_top' nothing happens.
Code: AS3
aboutBtn.buttonMode = true; aboutBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callAbout); function callAbout(e:MouseEvent):void{
is there any way to use the getURL command without it actually opening a new page? What I'm really doing is sending variables to a php page and inserting data into a database, but when i use LoadVars and LoadVars.send it's not workin for some reason. So I tried a simple getURL and that also sends the variables to the page and that works for me, but I don't want the users to see a new window popup or for the one theyre in to go to a new URL...? Maybe I'll post my LoadVars code too just to make sure I did that correctly... but I copied and pasted it from another LoadVars object in the same flash program that is working correctly (both sending AND loading variables)...
From Flash, I'd like to launch a new browser window just like getURL() does, but I've had some trouble finding a way to make the new window addressbar-less. I'd like it so you click a button in flash and it pops up a new browser window showing pretty much nothing but the content of that page. So no addressbar, no back and forth browser controls, its just for displaying an image with. Javascript solutions or anything else are fine, as long as it can be launched from some script in Flash itself.
I get the alert but I can't get the lightbox window to display. When my as code makes the ExternalInterface call I get what looks like a page refresh and a blank browser window.
Just wondering if anyone knows what I would add to my actionscript for a getURL command to make the browser window that opens up a certain size, in my case, really small.
I have the following problem trying to open a new window from flash:
getURL(url, new_window, "POST")
What happened was that the first time I clicked the button, it opens a new window; but subsequent clicks seem to do nothing... No "post" is done and that window doesn't get refreshed.
I'm working on a kind of coverflow layout and I'm using an XML file to house my links and information about those links. in my ActionScript, I'm using getURL to point to the link the user clicks and open the link in a new window using the following script:
getURL(infostruc[current - 1].artLink, "_blank");
I need to have the new window open up to a specific size (1014x714), but I'm not sure how to write the AS for this kind of action since I'm calling the link from an external file.
I am using the getURL function in response to a button event. I need it to open the URL (absolute) in a new browser window, but I need the new browser window to open on top of the current browser window. Right now it's opening behind the current browser window. Below is my code:
on (release){ getURL("absolute URL here", "_blank"); }
I've been trying to get a bit of control over the "getURL" action. I want the window that pops up to be a particular size, centered and have the maximize button accessible (it always seems to be greyed-out).
heres the code I've been using:
on (release) { getURL("javascript:openNewWindow('http://www.google.com','thewin','height=600,width=400,max imize=yes,toolbar=no,sc
[Code].....
I've tried a few of the components that are supposed to make this easy but, I haven't found one that works properly yet.
here we go... [URL] if you click on the "instant quote & order online " button, the website opens up fine in a new window, but when you click on an option in the new page - i.e. business cards - the website freezes!?
CS3 Actionscript 2.0: I'm trying to get a nested movie clip to open the default mail app. on release. I used the on (release){ getURL("mailto:. which opens the mail window fine, but it also opens a blank browser window (Mac OS). Can someone tell me how to stop this from occurring?
I see this question crops up a lot but after many searches I haven't been able to find the solution anywhere. Forgive me, but I'm new to Flash/Actionscript. My script:

I have a Flash Form, which sends Variables to a PHP page through getURL - Post method.
My requirement is that : i need to redisplay the Form variables (name, email and so on) back in Flash as a confirmation after the data has been entered into the database in the PHP page.
