so we have this banner ad system and we plug peoples banners into it. Some people give us .swf files that open to _self or the current window the banner is sitting in.I was wondering if there is a way to force the .swf to open to a _blank window.

View 1 RepliesI am using the following script in Flash CS4 for a URL link[code]...
and I would like the link to open the new page in the same tab. In Safari it opens the link in a new window (when the default is to open links in the same tab). In IE it opens in a new tab, and also in Firefox (though in Firefox this is the default behaviour for me). Is there a way to override default settings and get the link to open in the same tab for all browsers?
I have a MenuBar which opens downwards except when there isn't enough room to open it. For example, it may have 10 items but there's only enough room to display 4-5. Flex then tries to display the menu above the bar, which is completely off the screen. Is there some property or style I'm overlooking to always force it to open downward?
EDIT: Thought I'd give some clarification as to how I plan to circumvent the issue. If I can always force the menubar to be orientated downwards, I can make it into a scrollable menubar displaying only a few items at worst.
Is there any code to force a V2 combobox to open updwards, rather than the default downwards?

View 2 Replieshave some ppsx files that I'm opening from a button on a fullscreen window. The first window opens fine, but if I go to open another ppsx file, it opens behind my fullscreen interface. Is there anything I can to do force it to open in front? I tried having _blank in there, but that just opens a browser window. this is what I have now (using greensock plugins, but my question is regarding the navigate to url area):

We have an Air and Flash application that opens a pdf, but many computers by default open pdfs in browser plugins rather than through reader itself. Is there a way to force the alternate behavior in Flash/Air? This is needed since we have slightly writable pdfs.
View 1 RepliesHow do you force Combobox dropdowns to stay open even when other Alert boxes appear. Looking at what to subclass from mx.Combobox, there doesn't seem to be much that i can do to short of implementing an entire combobox from scratch.
View 1 RepliesI've altered Kirupa's centered popup script a bit and it works fine unless you have a popup blocker because most popup blockers just block the window.open() javascript funciton. Does anyone know a way to force a popup window to open in flash? something like you would do on an HTML link <a target="_blank"> or something of the sort.
View 2 RepliesI would like to force a pdf to be saved to disc rather than opening in a browser window? I am actually executing the command in flash in a button instance like this
on (release) {
getURL("http://website.com/pdfs/pdf_document.pdf", "_blank", "GET");
}
So how can I do this so it gives the pop up window of save to disc option?
This may be an ASP.NET issue too?
I've gotten a complaint from one operator that my banner won't open in a new tab. Indeed on their site it opens the link on self. Its fine on other sites tho.Btw I noticed all the banners on their site open in self. Including an old banner I did for them with the same [code]...
View 1 RepliesI'm having a little trouble with my flash banner. When I click on my button, it opens the link I specified in a new window or new tab, like target _blank in HTML. I want it to open in the same window, so you're still navigating through the site. Here's my button's code: link_btn5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.... goToURL5); function goToURL5(e:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(new URLRequest ("/forums/index.php "));}

View 3 RepliesI figured out why my external, embedded player wouldn't link back to my site: I was using _self rather than _blank, which I'm sure many of you knew.
However, my next stumbling block is that any subsequent link now needs to be authorized if you are using a browser with a pop-up blocker (IE7, Firefox, etc.). What I've noticed is that YouTube has somehow completely bypassed this, and I need to figure out how.
First, check out this site for an example of my player and YouTube's player on the same page: [URL]
Note in the lower-right the YouTube clip. Click that first. Notice how the pop-up blocker doesn't ask for permission? Then, beneath that is my "Comic Wonder" player. If you click on any links, it'll work, but only if you allow your pop-up blocker to allow it.
how YouTube has bypassed that?
How would I make this open in the same window instead of a blank popup window?
//Navigate to some URL
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.blah.com/links.php");
navigateToURL(urlRequest);
}
I'm encountering a problem with the getURL function. When I have a button with the following AS
Code:
on(release) {
getURL("http://www.google.com", "_blank");
}
and test it within Firefox (0.9.2) then it loads within the same tab which isn't what I want obviously. In IE it loads a new window without problems. This used to work but I after reinstalling winXP with SP2 it doesn't work anymore
i'm trying to construct a flash menu with simple getURL functions. However, i need to specify the dimensions of the new URL. how do i do this?
example :
on (release) {
getURL("
http://www.adobe.html", "_blank");
}
When a user clicks on a URL, I want the new page to open up in a new window (or tab),instead of always in _self, which of course replaces the movie. I've trace'd the htmlText contents, and see TARGET="" where it's building the clickable links, which I assume the browsers interpret as the same thing as _self. Is there some better way to change the target for any URLs, short of doing a search and replace of the htmlText field
View 9 RepliesI am trying to stop/pause my MC when I click on an image.
EG:

But when my image loads into the new window and I go back to the main content window on where I clicked the movie has already started playing!

I am building a banner ad and I am using Flash CS4. I need it so when someone clicks the banner it takes them to the page in a new window. Its just a a simple URL and I keep getting syntax errors now and I dont know how to do this properly. I have tried these methods.

I'm trying to make a custom button in flash, which when clicked, will open a URL in a new tab/window, WITHOUT stealing focus from the current Flash tab/window.
The classic navigateToURL(request, "_blank"); will open the new tab, but also bring it up. I want it to stay away minding it's own business, just as if I had middle-clicked on a link on a HTML page.
I would at least want the user to be able to see a short tween of the currently clicked thumbnail moving and fading to the upper-right corner of the gallery, to symbolize the fact that it's opening in a new tab. This isn't possible because as soon as you click, the new tab steals focus, and leaves my flash thumbnail stuck in the onhover state and the tween over. Delaying the click action, will trigger the popup blocker.
Could it perhaps be possibru to load the target page somehow in the background and display the tab when the loading is complete? (so you won't have to stay and look at it while the images download) How about a background worker from HTML5? - haven't looked much into those yet. Would probably still trigger the popup blocker.
is there any solution on StageWebView.loadURL(), how I can handle URLs in HTML Pages which have target="_blank"?
It's a mobile Android App (TabbedViewApplication)
