I have a client who has a home page that I built for him. Basically there are words randomly displayed in the background. Then there are three images that rotate based on a timer. So I have two timers going. I have event listeners added to the images when the app starts. I'm moving the image off the stage when it's not visible. So I'm not adding and removing listeners over and over. However, if you watch the browser memory usage in all three major browsers it climbs several mb's in a minute. Therefore, if the user sits on the homepage the browser crashes.
View 4 Repliesall my getURLs launch the browsers fine, but if the user allready has a window open, the browser launches behind the projector causing the user to minimize and tab over to the web browser. this only seems to happen on a pc.is there any way to attach something to either the first frame of the flash to close any open browser windows? i know this is a bit of an annoyance for me, as well as many others, from a usablitiy standpoint, but this is the last tweak my client is not budging on.[code]

So iv been flash designing for about a year now, and i thought i was pretty good, however having never usd the geturl script before i am stumped whats going on. my AS is
Actionscript Code: on (release) { getURL("index.html", "_self");} which works fine when playing the movie in the flash preview (pressing ctrl+enter) but as soon as i publish the movie and view it embbeded in an HTML document it doesnt work. this should indicate its my browser settings? however iv tried disabling my pop-up blocker and still nothing.
I'm have two issues with a new version of my site that's almost complete. First is probably an easy one which is the geturl command. It always opens the links I click on in IE. I would like it to use the default browser.
link_1.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://www.naturalropehalters.com/", "_blank");
};

I am creating a standalone Flash projector in which the user will be able to click a button to view a PDF file, I am using the getURL method to open the PDF file and it opens in my default Internet browser instead of Acrobat Reader, which is kind of expected. Is there anyway to 'launch' to open in Acrobat Reader instead?

View 8 RepliesI have a very simple Flash app that is basically just a set of links for a company home page. I've used getURL to direct the users to a number of web sites (e.g. Google, a train timetable website, a telephone directory website - and so on). It works fine when I run the swf directly on my test PC. However, when I run the html file (produced by the Flash Publish function), rather than the swf file, the app works but nothing happens wjhen I click on the links. It is as if getURL was being ignored.
I have tried this using swf files saved in Flash 8 or Flash 7 versions, and in IE 6 and 7 browsers. The purpose of the app is to provide the users with links, but as none of the links work it is pretty useless.
I'm using getURL to send a string to a 4D webserver for tracking purposes. I'm using "_self" for the window and not using GET or Post and the string is the full http address including the path pointing to the 4d app with the variable appended to the string in XML format...the send works and is recorded by the 4d server..but a browser window opens which is don't want (it's unneeded and interrupts the flash)..is there a way to send with getURL without invoking a browser?
View 1 RepliesI have a strange getURL Problem under some windows installations. I autostart a Flash-projector from a CDROM. This file contains some buttons with getURL. When clicking on the buttons, the browser starts and shows a HTML-file from the CDROM.But under some circumstances this won't work. We have found some Windows-installations where we are not able to start the browser by calling getURL.I know, this seems not to be a Flash problem. It looks like a problem in the interaction from a Flash projector and Windows.
View 3 RepliesI'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");
}

Is there a work around to the getURL Firefox issue? I am having trouble getting Firefox to open my file from my exe when FF is set to my default browser. If FF is already open, the getURL functions fine. If FF is closed, I have to click on my button twice in order to open the file (ie, click once opens a blank window, click again and the file opens) I have FF 2.0.0.1, Flash MX 2004 Prof. I have tried setting an interval to have the getURL fire again but I can't seem to get it to work.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to add a simple getURL script to a simple text button-- should be really simple, right? But when I select the instance of the button on the stage it says the current selection cannot have actions applied to it. This, despite the fact that I am able to open an old .fla that has the same type of button and it does have a getURL action applied. What gives?

I recently formatted my disk and installed WindowsVista Ultimate. Now, I find that this simple piece of code is not working. But earlier when I was using Windows XP, this code would open a new browser window (in firefox) and automatically prompt me to log into Gmail account, and after I log into gmail I will have this 'userEmail' successfully inserted in the "To:" field (inside gmail)
Code:
var userEmail="myemail@gmail.com"
getURL("mailto:"+userEmail);
Can't figure out why this is not working in my new OS.

my client (Who uses Firefox, on a PC) has to click on the button twice to view the PDF. The first time they click on the button, they have to close the blank window that pops up and then click on the Flash button again to view the PDF. It opens fine the second time. Is this just a PC problem? On my Mac (Safari) it works fine, but (Firefox) seems to want to save the document before I can view it.
