No matter what I do I cannot get this to work.All I want is a button in flash that will close the browser window. It's a popup window so it should be able to be closed.
View 11 RepliesI created a Flash application that reads POST data from a form. A user clicks the button, and the data gets posted to the flash app in a new window (_blank). Now takes the data and then spins a wheel to give users a prize. If they don't win a message pops up letting them know they didn't win. If they don't win, clicking the OK button needs to close the browser window.
I've tried a number of solutions and it seems that the only way to get this done is to launch the window with javascript and then use ExternalInterface.call('window.close'); to close the window from within the Flash actionscript (3) because otherwise the window won't close (I've tried just using window.close and window.close() with no luck)
I understand how to launch a new window with javascript, but I don't know how to simultaneously launch and POST data to that window (the Flash application has to have the POST data. Is this the best solution? Is there a way to close a browser window easier than what I'm describing?[URL]
I'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 cant seem to find the solution to call the javascript:window.close() function.It is running locally so there may be some issues on that front.Has anybody used this type of functionality before. it is doing my head in.
View 3 RepliesIn Flash, I programmed a directions html page to close when a link is selected.However, it asks if you are sure if you want to close the page.Well, my audience will probably hyperventilate if they see that pop-up.Is there a way just to hard close a html window without the pop-up message?Also, are there any good tutorials out there combining Flash and Javascript?
View 6 RepliesThe only way I have found so far to capture the browser window close event from actionscript/flash is actually to capture the event in javascript, and then use a javascript/flash data passing from the javascript callback.
Something around those lines:
window.onbeforeunload = clean_up;
function clean_up()
{
var flex = document.${application} || window.${application};

I'm trying to create a pop up window in Flash which also fades the background window to 75% black. When the user closes the pop up window, I'd like for the parent window to un-fade back to normal. Is this possible? I can do the first half of it and make the background window fade to 75% black. The difficult thing is making it fade back to normal when the user closes the pop up window.My thoughts are that I need to attach some code to the browser's built in close window button. It might require some javascript or a fscommand. I'm not sure.

I am using Flash CS3, AS 2.0 and I have a button with -
on (release) {
getURL ("http://www.axiomaudio.com/store.html", _blank)
}
This is a small banner in an HTML page and I want it to open in the same window instead of opening a new window. I have tried using _self) instead of _blank) but it still opens a new window.
I can't seem to get the buttons I have created in flash to open in the same window.. I've tried
1. leaving it with no target
2. on (release) {
getURL("[URL]");
targetPath("_self")
}
3. on (release) {
getURL("[URL]", "_self");
}
I read it's possible to call any javascript [URL] so why would I need doFscommand ?

is there any way to use the getURL command without it actually opening a new page? What I'm really doing is sending variables to a php page and inserting data into a database, but when i use LoadVars and LoadVars.send it's not workin for some reason. So I tried a simple getURL and that also sends the variables to the page and that works for me, but I don't want the users to see a new window popup or for the one theyre in to go to a new URL...? Maybe I'll post my LoadVars code too just to make sure I did that correctly... but I copied and pasted it from another LoadVars object in the same flash program that is working correctly (both sending AND loading variables)...
View 6 RepliesFrom Flash, I'd like to launch a new browser window just like getURL() does, but I've had some trouble finding a way to make the new window addressbar-less. I'd like it so you click a button in flash and it pops up a new browser window showing pretty much nothing but the content of that page. So no addressbar, no back and forth browser controls, its just for displaying an image with. Javascript solutions or anything else are fine, as long as it can be launched from some script in Flash itself.

View 8 Repliesi've got a form, which i then would like to send using asp (CDO).anyway, it works a dream when i use the following:
GetUrl("processForm.asp",0,"post");

View 1 RepliesI have a menu that navigates my webpage. Say, for instance, I click on the "Home" button, it should take me to the homepage.I want the home page to open in the same window, not another window or tab. So I used this code:
Code:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.mywebpage.com/home",_self);
}
Yet the homepage opens in a new window instead of the same window. Should I be using the "_self" parameter, or something different?
