ActionScript 2.0 :: External Text File Popup Windows?
Feb 8, 2009
I have an externally loaded file in flash. I'm trying to create a pop up from the text file. In order to do so I place a function into my actionscript, then place the link inside my external text file. It works fine but only while publishing in flash 6 and not 8.Below is the example of the function and the internal link.
openWin = function (url)
{
getURL("javascript:window.open('"+url+"','newWin', 'toolbar=no,width=760,height=560'); void(0);");
};
<a href='asfunctionpenwin,http://adobe.com'><font+color="#0000ff"><b>Link</b></font></a>

I used Flash a wee bit several years ago, but now with AS3 I'm a bit out of my depths... Anyway I have this template I'm adapting, and at the moment it is a thumbnail gallery that loads via an external xml file, and the fullsize image it loads is a link to an html file. The only thing is that it loads the html file in a new window and I want it to load in a popup window. I have figured out how to make a regular popup window using AS3 but that doesnt help me for this case as the actionscript is a bit more complex and going via the xml.... I have honestly spent a good 8 hours scouring the net for tutorials and nothing tells me exactky what I need to know to adapt my particular code.
Here is the code in my actionscript that seems to be calling up the html link part of the xml file:
function pic_click(e:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL( new URLRequest( flashmo_tn_list[current_no].url ),
flashmo_tn_list[current_no].target );
}
[Code].....
My question is, is there a way to alter this code so that all the files in the xml will open as popups?

Is there any reason why a scrollbar would not show up in a popup window? THe popup window is a dreamweaver document.URL...If you click on the "Interior" button, and then click on any of the balusters a popup window will appear with 4 images. This popup window has no scrollbar?? It should, and I didn't do anything to tell it to "not show a scrollbar".The scrollbar shows up on my Mac, but does not show up on my friends Mac, nor does it show up on my PC?Also, I have been doing a few tests on this page on the first few balusters (trying to get around the scrollbar issue), so maybe pick the 5th baluster, rather than the first one? Or pick one of the last balusters.

I have different buttons to open another browser window using getURL. The problem is each button opens a new browser window. If a user does not close the window when coming back, there would be many browser windows open the same time. A few users get confused by this thinking that they are accessing the same page.Is there a way to control it so the popup will open all at the same window (if someone chooses not to close the window each time)?

I created a Flash program that utilizes audio and text. The audio is located in an external folder and is loaded using .loadSound(). The text is located on the timeline and appears based on a certain time in the audio. I have a pre-loader that looks to ensure all of the external audio is loaded before the user can move onto the appropriate screen and the audio would play. This is using a combination of the .getBytesTotal and .getsBytesLoaded.
It works fine on Windows 7 but doesn't seem to be working one particular user's Windows XP on IE 7 (So it's not happen on all Windows XP). On a particular user's computer, the text is slow to load while the sounds loads pretty quickly leaving the text out of sync. After a few screens, the text will catch up with the audio.

I have many photos (converted to buttons) in a movieclip. This movieclip slides continuously across the stage in which the speed and direction are dictated by the mouse's position.I want these pics to be hot and when the user clicks on them a fixed-size window (html page with larger image) appears. I added the javascript and altered the published HTML but the windows popup with no controlled settings that I placed in the getURL script assigned to each button. A sample of what I am trying to do is at [URL] Click on an image then click again. That's the box I want.

I am very new to Actionscript and I'm only used to stop();and GetURL. I've spent countless/frustrating hours on how to make thesebutton codes work with a window pop-up. I am almost there.PROBLEM: I have four different buttons pointing to fourdifferent URL's. The code below is not allowing me to pull up theurl's, individually in the script. It keeps opening the same URL.Here is the code: (Do I apply the code to their own actionlayer for each movie or all in one actions layer like I have it)?
stop();
aj_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
buttonClickHandler);

I have a parent window that has a flash movie embedded in it. When a certain button is clicked inside the flash movie, it calls a a pop up javascript function to pop up a window with another flash movie embedded in it. This flash movie (the one embedded in the pop up window) has a button that I need to close the pop up and refresh the parent window when clicked. (i.e., when the user clicks the button, the pop up closes and the main parent window goes to a different URL).
I used javascripting inside flash to do so, it works fine, however, I keep getting a warning message when using IE : ("The website you are viewing is trying to close the window, do you want to close this window?"). This message is not displayed in FireFox. I don't want this message to appear. I read about a lot of solutions around this, however, they only work when I test them in regular html pages, but not when used in a button inside a flash movie.

I am trying to figure out how to make buttons on my flash file link to URLs that appear in a window of fixed dimensions (with scroller bars) next to my Flash window. I am aware that Adobe has instructions for creating pop-up browser windows through Flash [URL]. However, what I'm trying to do is a bit more complicated, since I want to have multiple embedded invisible buttons in the Flash window that each take you to a specific URL when you click on them. Alternatively I'd be happy if any button click resulted in a link to a random selection from a pre-programmed list of URLs. This is for ActionScript 3.

I'm using Flex in Flash Player 10 on Windows, using FileReference to load a file into memory, as below.My issue is that when a file is locked by Windows, my FileReference is not giving me any feedback that the file is inaccessible--it simply never dispatches any events after my calling load().Does anyone have insight into how to tell that Flash Player is unable to open the file?
var fileReference:FileReference = new FileReference();
private function onClick():void {
fileReference = new FileReference();
fileReference.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onSelect);

I've managed to piece together a flash website with my limited as3 knowledge. The text is loaded from external text files and styled with an external css file.
It's working perfectly in Firefox and Explorer but it only works SOME of the time in Safari (on my mac).It's hit and miss. Sometimes it styles the text sometimes it doesn't.

If you create a popup via:[code]It will create a popup and bring it on top of any other visual piece. I have one problem though. This 'popup' needs to stay up even when the user interacts with the background.I would use modal, but I need the ability to interact with the back. Any way to tell the popup manager not to remove the popup when the user clicks off of it?

Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

I turn to you for help, dear sweet Kirupa Forumites. First, let me explain the problem: I have a flash file reading an external text file for the content. Everything works perfectly for nearly everyone - you click a menu button, and the content text comes up fine. However, a couple of people have found that the text shows up as "undefined". I have checked the player versions of the people where it doesn't work, and it is the same as for those where it does work, so that ain't the problem.
I don't understand why it works perfectly for nearly everyone, but a small number of people have this "undefined" text problem. It seems to be a problem with loading the external text file, but I don't know why. I have a main flash movie, and load the text in the first frame, using the following:
var my_content = new LoadVars();
my_content.load("content.txt");
my_content.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
[Code]...
I then have a couple of dynamic text boxes in the main movie - one called ErrorText (for displaying an error message to the user) and one called ContentText (for displaying the content). I use an external menu swf which jumps to a specific frame in the main movie, depending on which button is clicked. Actionscript on the main movie frame for the first button does the following, with the other frames similarly configured:
ContentText.htmlText = my_content.content1;
stop();
My external text file is properly configured (content1=blah blah&content2=other blah blah) etc.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can solve this particular weird problem??

I cant load and external text file into my dynamic text box...when i trace the loaded var it can be found, but when it's loaded inside the text box, the value that appears is really strange.i tried to load the vars into the MC and on a level, the result is the same, it can be traced but does not appear correctly on the textbox..the code i used is here..i made a text box with about_us instance name, loaded the variables and tried to load my text inside it by setting the text property of the textbox but as u will see...
loadVariables("about.txt", "this");

hi, i'm trying to display text from a textfile in a dynamic textfield, i have a text file called "quotes.txt" wich has variables set like this:
q0=text&q1=text2&q3=text3 etc.
so how can i pick these q's at random and place it in my textbox?i've tried this:
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("quotes.txt");
quotes="q"+Math.round(random(10))
loadText.onLoad = function() {
tester.text = this.quotes;
i thought i could replace the direct reference to q0 or q1 etc into a variable "qoutes", so how can i do this so it does work?
