this popup opens in the SAME window and not ina new window. What can I do to let it open in a new window and given the same properties to this new window as above: toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No etc.... a geturl opens it in a new window but does not give toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No etc.... properties to the window
I currently have a website that has a photo gallery. The home page has a link to the actual photo gallery. I'm using the (getURL) to open the photo gallery in a new window, however the new window opens up to the same size as the home page. I would like to shrink down the window size of the photo gallery so the user can still see some of the home page behind the new window.
I know javascript can take care of this problem, but I was wondering if there is a way to do it with Flash? I just need to specify the size of the new window when it opens.
I'm looking to create a flash based popup window when a button is pressed within the flash movie. Not a javascript based html window or html browser window, but a window that is in the flash movie that is entirely flash based. I looked all over the internet and can't seem to find anything on this, and can't find anything on this board either. I am new to flash and actionscripting in general. I would also like to use the Tweener external class, or the flash tween class would work too.
View 1 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");
however when u use:
loadVariables("processForm.asp",0,"post");
It does nothing.the problem with GetURL is that it opens the scrpt in another window, which isnt ideal.the code in processForm.asp is:
<%@language = "VBScript" %>
<%
strName = Request.Form("FirstName")[code].....
I've used Greensocks Tween lite to build a photo gallery that resizes with the window browser. The only problem is that when I first open up the window the gallery is not properly scaled to fit the window size. How can I make is so when you first open up the window the movieclip is told to resize to the current window size? Here is my code below.
import gs.*;
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.Tween;

I have a function on root:
_root.fadeBox_mc.onEnterFrame = function (){
if (fade){
this.nextFrame();[code]....
This causes a mc to fade in and out on rollover/rollout. But what I wanna make is a box that fades in when pressed on the button and fade out when pressed for the second time. But if I say
on (press){
_root.fade = true;
}
the mc fades in, but I cant do another on (press) to fade out. Is this too confusing?
I have a .swf I'm inserting at the top of a page in DW. I have a button named "aboutUs_btn" which when pressed needs to load "aboutUs.html. That part works fine, but it always loads the page into a new window. How do I make it load into the same window? I could do this in AS2 with getURL and using _self. Here is what I have:
var aboutUsLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("aboutUs.html");
aboutUs_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,aboutUsClick);
function aboutUsClick(event:MouseEvent):void{navigateToURL(aboutUsLink);}

I see this question crops up a lot but after many searches I haven't been able to find the solution anywhere. Forgive me, but I'm new to Flash/Actionscript. My script:

View 3 RepliesI have the following code which upon the pressing of the letter "s" opens up a new url in a uiloader window. If you press "s" repeatly it continues to open the window over and over without it finish fully playing, is there a way to add a timer to the "s" so it can only work once every few seconds or possibly a way to make the url completly open before you can press the "s" again??

I have a movie and after the intro the enter button takes me to the next frame (11) and stops. there i have a drop down menu with button instances on each of the drop downs. The drop down is in a movie clip so i am using on (release) {_root.gotoAndPlay("s1"); } on the button instances to take me to root level to say frame 12 and stops. Each button instance has a different frame label to go to, s1, s2 etc - the idea being that back at root level i can have the content of each of the buttons on each of the frame labels (s1 at frame 12 , s2 at frame 13 etc) .... this works fine except the drop down menu in each of these new frames retains the action script on the drop down button instances - this is fine for all the buttons that will take me to another content page at root level - what i dont want is the AS to remain on the button for the page i am currently on - cos if you click on it it takes you back through the intro etc to get to its frame label again .

I have a movieclip that gets loaded from the menu (addchild) from that movieclip I press a button which makes the loaded movieclip go to frame 15, on that frame the external swf loads. THEN when I press a button after that the button animation just flickers and no reaction when I click it.
View 1 Repliesi have another totally newbie question here, sorry everyone, In one of my frames i would like to have a button that opens up a movie clip, but i would like it to do this on a mouse-over action instead of a click, i have tried using the onRollover action, but i can't get it to work, it's got to be a daft mistake i am making but i have spent ages trying to figure it out, and once again i am stumped.

I have a project set up as scenes.In scene 1 there are two buttons visible from the frame 1licking on these takes us to scene 3 or 4. They work fine. I used code snippet "Click to Go to Scene and Play" the action script is on a keyframe on frame 1 as that is the first frame the buttons appear.From frame 120 a third button appears. So on this frame I have actionscript go to and play scene 5.Problem is it goes to scene 3 instead, like the firstbutton. The buttons are not near each other on screen so its not a case of accidentally clicking wrong button.I think maybe I should've set up my project as movie clips within 1 timeline but I'm too far down the scene route now to change it at this stage.the buttons are all invisible so maybe the third button should also be present from frame 1 and just disabled until frame 120?
View 1 RepliesI have a timer on my main flash document, and a package class that opens a MovieClip on a button click.
I want to stop the timer when the user starts the movieclip and then restart it when they close the movieclip. I don't know how to send information back to the main flash document from the package though.
Calling an object's method from the main flash doc is object.method(); But I need to do the reverse. I know this a low level super easy question, but I cant find the answer. Something like _MainDocument.function(); would be my guess. Or is there a addEventListener(class Deconstructs, doSomethig) ?
I'm trying to create a set of 4 vertically arranged buttons that 'split' apart when those buttons are pressed. For example, if you click the topmost (1st) button, the bottom three buttons will drop down so submenus (for the 1st button) can now be revealed beneath. Again, when you click the 2nd button from the top, the bottom two buttons drop down, revealing submenus, and so on.
Now, is there a way that I can use actionscripting to tween the buttons to not only motion tween a drop down when a button is first pressed, but also to motion tween the button to return up to its original spot when another button is then pressed? Right now, I have two keyframes, side-by-side which each containing a different y-scale value for an object. Can I do some actionscripting to get the object to motion tween upward to its original spot instead of "clicking," or snapping back to is original spot when another button is pressed?
I want the press button to detect the last button pressed and if the shapes match, make them do something...obviously. I think I'm going at it the wrong way. I need to stick a "triange" id into the button/mc then if compares that and then if there is a match works then... right?
