ActionScript 2.0 :: External Interface - Call A Popup Window On A Button
Sep 3, 2009
I am trying call a popup window from actionscript on a button and am having trouble I am using following: import flash.external.ExternalInterface; Then on the button in Flash: on (release) { ExternalInterface.call("myPopup.start", "#contactForm"); } but I don't know if ExternalInterface will properly call the start() method.... am a little lost The page is @ [URL] and the link at the bottom "CLICK HERE FOR FORM" is what needs to be incorporated into a flash button on the SWF.
Everytime I try to do even an ExternalInterface.call('alert','abc'); (Which will work on every browser) I get an object doesn't support this property or method After the alert appears. It even happens in the HTML generated by flash without me touching it...
Currently I'm trying to call a window.close with external interface. It works fine, however, I also have a window.beforeunload call in my javascript so the close button ends up calling two windows. One is the "this page is trying to close...blah blah blah" and the other is the custom one i wrote.
Is there anyway to call onbeforeunload combined with window.close from external interface so that i only get one warning?
I am using in AS3 "External Interface ". When I call the JS function that is on the same page as swf everything works fine.
I added a link in the html page to an external JS file, when I move the JS function to the external JS file the website crushes.
I would prefer to have all my JS functions on an external file so I can use them in the future in other project and it also makes it easier for me to update the site.
how to call a JS function that is on an external file from AS3?
Using Flash - AS 3.0: I am trying to use ExternalInterface.call to open a .pdf file - but it is not working - nothing is happening...
ExternalInterface.call ("window.open","diagrams/v1/crh.pdf", "WindowName", params); But this line DOES work - call an .html file to open. ExternalInterface.call ("window.open","m5_quiz/v1/quiz.html", "WindowName", params);
I can't find any information that says this should or shouldn't work - it seems to me it should open it. To get around this - I have been using 'navigateToURL' to open the pdf file - but that triggers the pop-up blocker - using the External Interface call does not.
I am currently just finishing a project and I am having a big time problem with an ExternalInterface call. My application runs fine but when the javascript call is being made from flash using external interface, IE is going from the "Done" message, to showing the "!" icon, with "error on page" as the message. There is no error that is showing up in Firefox.
The current error I am seeing is an 'Unterminated String Constant', which wouldn't be a problem except for that it appears on line 1... which is [URL]
What I have:A swf exports a function via ExternalInterfaceJavascript creates new embed object and adds it to the documentCalling flash functions works fine in other browsersCalling flash functions will fail in IE 8Example of exporting functions in swf:
flash.external.ExternalInterface.addCallback("isActive", ... Example of creating the embed object: var b = document.createElement('embed');
I need to call a function in JS that's expecting a JSON object. Can I do this from External Interface? The company's example (after the include file url) in HTML looks like this:
//there's an js include URL earlier// Shopwithme.Initialize({ "id":"prod1234",
[code]...
But, I need to dictate these vars through Flash. How do I call this function using External Interface?This is my EI code, but I'm obviously off base, since it's not working:
completing the code to get a return value from JavaScript to flash, but all the code was in a frame. My issue is I need to apply this code to multiple buttons, and then have them navigate to the appropriate frame. I thought I could put some of the code on the buttons themselves, or possibly I could call each button and keep all the code in frame one.....the external interface call function and the button functions....btn1, btn2; etc......I am not to verse in code and need to know what and how the best way to do this would be.
I'm hitting a brick wall here, and it's driving me mad. Used to use ExternalInterface to call Flash functions from Javascript all the time, and now under CS5 (and the way it uses object id's instead of embed in html) it's stopped working for me in certain browsers. I put together a really simple program that has the person click a link in the browser that activates a javascript function that simply sends some text in to Flash to display in a TextArea. Here's the as3 code:
I have a main flash movie that has 6 navigation buttons for 6 sections of the website. Each button loads an external swf to cutdown on preloader time for the whole website. Within each section, for example section1.swf, there are a number of images you can click through, with previous and back buttons. On each image in section1.swf is a button so that you can popup a window with more related info and images. So, in section1.swf on the first image image1_mc there is a button pop_btn, and I would like it to open a popup_mc which loads an external swf. Popup_mc would have a close_btn to close the window. I have tried various things for 2 weeks, and have had no luck. I can open a popup window, or I can load a swf, but I can't figure out how to put it all together.
I have created a small image gallery for use in a CBT Program.What I am looking to do is, each image in the slide when clicked needs to go to a separate html page.I currently have it working as far as being able to execute a single External Call to go to a HTML Page, but it is working for the entire gallery not individual pictures.I am thinking of separating the way the MC are loading into the container, then tying External Calls Specific to the individual clips.
below is the current code. -------------- import mx.transitions.Tween; import mx.transitions.easing.*;[code].....
I'm trying to do a popup window that is sized at 300x200 when clicking a button using the following code var jscommand:String = "window.open('[URL','win','height=200,width=300,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');"; var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);"); navigateToURL(url, "_self"); It opens up fine except on Safari 3.
Is it possible to open a cross domain pop up window from a flash button. Let's say something like this: ActionScript Code: on (release) { getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('[URL]','newWin','width=800,height=650,left=60,top=60,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=no,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);"); } Is a button hosted in domain that links to a secure page in link. Will it work or will it get blocked by browsers or internal flash restrictions?
How to make a button which opens a pop up window(don't really knows if that's the correct name) with a image or text, centered, but the site isn't available unless I click the "x" button on that window or outside the window.
I'm creating a sort of guessing game/trivia with AS 2.0. I have a popup window with a question, and four answers with a button next to each answer. The question and answers are dynamic text that are set by clicking on a "question" button.I was thinking I could do was click an answer button, which sets "current answer"... compare that with "correct answer" and do something? If it doesn't match, set the dynamic text to "wrong answer". If it's correct, then gotoAndStop(something)... I can get the answer buttons to trace their values(current answer) as I click on them, but when I try and goto () or do something based on these values (true) it seems just do whatever is in the if statement... not based on the answer being correct?Hmmm... like if I say: if (This is true)Not sure if I'm explaining this properly. But basically I have a popup window with a question. I have four answers, with buttons to select choice. I want to compare the choice/buttons pressed with a variable "correct answer" and then do something.
I have an html page with a link that loads a popup window. The popup includes a simple Flash movie. Some basic Javascript code in the html file was used to produce the popup window. What Im trying to do is have a button that I created in the Flash app close the Flash movie and the popup window.
What I need is a new window with fixed dimensions... I found a script somewhere in the web that works fine with firefox but with ie (I tested only in ie8) the built-in popup blocker is preventing the window to open...Here is the code use:For the flash button:
Code: on (release) { getURL ("javascript:openWindow('mypage.php','newWindow','toolbar=0,location=0,directries=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,width=480,height=650,left=80,top=180')"); }
In the head section of the page that contains the flash movie:
Code: <script language="javascript"> function openWindow(URL,windowName,windowProperties) {newWindow=window.open(URL,windowName,windowProperties);} </script>
I came across the following javascript code that creates a fullscreen pop up window from a rollover button (html/javascript) that appears to be unaffected by popup blockers in IE (or at least on my computers it's unaffected). However, when I adapt the button code to actionscript for use with a flash button it starts to trigger the popup blocker. figure out the correct actionscript to make this work without being blocked?
I'm trying to make a popup alert modal window thing with an external class. I have a simple swf set up with just some random sample text, a rectangle, and a button. What I want to happen is for the "alert" class to initialize upon startup of the swf and then when I click the button (instance: btn), the alert will show up. If I get rid of all AS in the swf and set alert as the document class, it shows up just fine, so I think it should be working, but for some reason I get this instead when I try the button function:
i'm using the centered pop up window script from: [URL]. i have multiple buttons in my flash movie which open screenshot html pages in external browser windows. the script works fine except when a popup window stays open. the rest of the buttons don't open/replace past that one popup. i tried changing the window name in the onRelease script to screen1, screen2, etc for each button, but that didn't work.
I need to close the popup(adobe flex), non modal window if I click on the parent page of the popup. I have to do the out of focus check and then do some validation before close the popup. So what I was thinking that is there any inbuilt focus check event or do we need to create custom event for that?
I am trying to get a html popup window to open when my movie hits a certain frame instead of a button. Im using the following code but it uses a button instead of a frame to open the popup.
on (release) { customize the window that gets opened 0 equals NO.[code]........
I'm trying to place a popup window (TitleWindow) in the middle of the main application window. how do i set the coordinates of my popup window to be of the main application window? i tried the localToGlobal function but with no luck, I just can't get the main window x and y.
Go to [URL]. Click on "The Photos". It will pop up in a fullscreen window. Try resizing the window and you'll notice that the background is vector and it looks like the scale mode is set to "showAll". BUT, the photos look like they have a separate scale mode set to "noScale". They don't resize.
I'm looking to create a flash based popup window when a button is pressed within the flash movie. Not a javascript based html window or html browser window, but a window that is in the flash movie that is entirely flash based. I looked all over the internet and can't seem to find anything on this, and can't find anything on this board either. I am new to flash and actionscripting in general. I would also like to use the Tweener external class, or the flash tween class would work too.
this popup opens in the SAME window and not ina new window. What can I do to let it open in a new window and given the same properties to this new window as above: toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No etc.... a geturl opens it in a new window but does not give toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No etc.... properties to the window
