ActionScript 2.0 :: Link Opening In A New Tab And Switchin Focus To It?
Sep 28, 2011
I use a dynamic text with html = true to get some data from XML file, including links. They work fine, open in a new tab with "target = '_blank'" but the browser still has my page with a flash app as active tab. How do I tell it to switch to that newly opened tab?

Is there any reliable way to give the stage focus when you first open it in a browser window WITHOUT first clicking on the stage? By reliable, I mean something that works across different browsers and on both PCs and Macs.I've seen numerous threads on this subject, and I've read the Adobe tech note, and it seems there is no reliable way.How in the world can Adobe ask people to use Flash and not provide a reliable way to give the stage focus on startup.

I have l a flash file in my pages that links to other pages within my web site but when clicked they automatically open in another window. How can I link them without opening a new window as would happen with a normal web page link?
Here is my current Action Script code: index.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,indexbuttondown);
function indexbuttondown(event:MouseEvent):void {
var bbcURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("index.html");
navigateToURL(bbcURL);
}

I'm primarily an HTML/CSS girl. I'm pretty new to Flash, and until recently have only worked from the timeline without using any action script other than stop(); and simple goto commands like gotoAndPlay(49);
This week, I needed a nav button to take the user into the site from the Flash intro; it's live at [URL]
Flash CS4, Action Script 3. Since I don't write Action Script - yet - and needed the link in a hurry, I Googled for the code. As you can see, it works fine, but the site opens in a new window, and I don't want it to do that, I want it in the same window.
The code is as follows:
clickToEnter.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.deppimpersonator.com/cms"));
}
I thought it might be the use of "new" in front of URLRequest, but of course when I took that out the link didn't work at all.
Blind experimentation produced two attempts that simply broke the link (don't laugh ):
[Code]...
What do I need to add (or remove) from this code? And is this the most efficient way to code an internal link?
In case this is browser-specific: I've only tested this in the latest versions of Firefox and Safari for Mac, OS X 10.6.2 (Snowleopard). It's the same in both browsers.

I have several AS3 flash movies embedded in html pages, and for whatever reason, when you tab through the page, when you get into the flash movie, you can't tab out. The tab just goes in a loop through the tabindex of the swf.
Is there a way that you can add a button or a little script in the swf, set it to the last in the taborder, and then make it set the focus on the page to a link/div/id/anchor in the html, (outside the swf)

I need to open up a page within "youtube" from a clip used in a Flash movie. I have no problem with how to go about this it is just that with IE it won't let me open the link automatically - I get the "Pop up" warning spiel before the site can be opened. Is there any way I can do this seamlessly, from the movie, without requiring users to authorise security checks?

We have Flash movie in one domain and accessed from other Domain. The links in Flash movie was not working and with security restricitions we cannot use 'allowscriptaccess'.
So, we used System.security.loadPolicyFile [URL]; and included the XML in our assets. This worked for the links to open in New Window. But, when the links were changed to open in the same window, the links are working in Flash Player versions till 9.2XIn the versions, 9.4X+, it is not working.

I'm trying to figure out why my Flash button opens the link in a new browser tab, when it should just replace the page with the new one.
I'm using Flash CS4 with AS3 code, the button in Flash receives variables from an XML file and then knows what URL to pass when the user clicks the button. "Request" is the variable being passed for the URL. The website uses PHP and everything works except opening a new tab.
The main line of code for this is:
navigateToURL(request, '_blank'); [I know this WILL open new tab]
I modified it to try both of these:
navigateToURL(request, '_self');
navigateToURL(request);

I have a website where my Home, About, Work and Contact pages are on four different frames on the time line. Once you click on the Work link from the opening Home page, your brought to the second frame where a little tween brings a bunch of thumbnails into view. When you click on the thumbnails, it brings you out of the .swf and into a new HTML page. The problem is getting back to the Work page in the .swf with out being brought to the opening Home page. I have used an anchor on the time line and changing my publish settings to HTML with anchors, and they do work! But, its opening my .swf in the Work frame and running through the movie back to the Home. Iv tried putting a stop(); on the Work frame, which does stop it but its a dead page, my tweens, buttons, everything is frozen.

I made a simple website with a flash menu, that opens internal links in an iframe. However, I have a few other (not included in the menu) external links, which open in the same iframe. And after I click on one of them and it loads in the iframe, the buttons on the menu stop working. I'm beginning to think it has something to do with the internet explorer, since it works on some computers. But I'm not sure... not very good at this.

I am new to Flash. I bought a template online a couple weeks ago, and for the most part have made all the changes to personalize the page. The page is for wedding videography, and came with a Videos section. However, I do not like the template video player, and would like to have the Videos link on the menu bar go straight to my youtube channel rather than to the flash player. Primarily all changes to the template have been made in a text.txt file, rather than the flash file itself. My question is, how could I change the link on the main page to route to my youtube channel? Here's what it looks like in the text file:
