I found a great tutorial on launching a centered pop up window that kirupa posted and firefox won't execute it correctly or at all. I'm extremely frustrated because I need pop ups for my site to work and now it only functions in internet explorer or safari (mac). The url for the tutorial is [Url]
The way it works is that you have a frame action with the following function:
[Code]...
Using the centered pop-up tutorial method seems to only allow one pop up per url.. I need the user to open two, and they cannot replace each other because one is an audio player.
View 3 Repliesi hate auto-launching anything. i hate popups. my client wants both. i know how to launch a centered popup with the click of a button, but i don't know how to launch a centered popup once a movie gets to a certain frame on a timeline... probably really easy,
View 2 RepliesI've hit a snag when trying to debug an AIR app using adl.
Although adl successfully launches, the application never appears on screen / starts up.
eg:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
[Code].....
Update: I've also since uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Builder (and therefore, the AIR SDK), and it still doesn't work. I think this adds weight to the port conflict, but still leaves me unsure of where / how to proceed
Further update Compiling exactly the same codebase to a AIR installer, installing, and running the application works fine. (Ie., a production release). However, the codebase fails to launch with adl. This pretty much confirms the issue as a local machine config problem somewhere with adl, and not an issue with the codebase.
is it possible create a pop up window with, as target, a swf file? How? What code I can use for the button that logs the swf pop up centered window?
View 8 RepliesI got a code here which I got from Kirupa which launches a new html window from flash: [code] However, the window is not centered. I know that there is another code introduced by Kirupa which launches a centred pop-up window, but I've already used this code for several files, and was wondering if I could change the code above so that it would open in the centre.
View 1 RepliesI have a scene of a website dedicated to some pictures, with 8 thumbnails that are linked to different web locations. I found the kirupa's tutorial Launching a Centered Pop-Up Window very suitable to what I want, but there is a problem. Only one link works. When I made the second link, an output error appear
(Scene=nerenovate, Layer=1, Frame=1: Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (release) {
and the second link doesnt works at all. I think the problem is at the actions layer, but don't know how to solve it.
I have been using code I recently found on Kirupa called Displaying a Centered Pop-Up Window.I have this feature attached to 6 buttons that pop up windows to different URL's. The window gets stuck on one size and completely ignores my attemps to change to a different size... like it's locked into my first code of 600 x 300. I've tried re-uploading the FLV file, purging internet memory and refreshing but the window size just won't change. Here is the link where I found the [url]...

I'm using this code in Flash to popup a window:
on (release) {
var jscommand:String = "window.open('[URL]','win','height=550,width=830,toolbar =no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
}
The code is in 10 different buttons, each loading a different content for the same popup window. In Safari, if I click on the parent window and then click on another button, the popup window will come back on top of all other pages automatically, but it does not work with Firefox. In Firefox, the popup window will stay behind the parent window. I'd like for the popup window to be always centered on any screen.
I followed a tutorial here on kirupa on how to make a centered pup-up window. I kinda got it working. But when i test the movie out a blank page with the word "object" in the left corner appears behind the photo-gallery I have in the pop-up. When I upploaded it and tried if it would work "on the net" the button that brings up the pop-up does nothing.

View 8 Repliesmigrating some of my code snippets over from AS2.I tried reproducing one of my most used bit of code - the dynamic border - in AS3, but I have run into a small problem.
PHP Code:

What I would like is to keep my original movie size (800x600) but have it centered both horizontally and vertically in the browser window. If the user expands the browser window, I'd like it to dynamically center itself both horizontally and vertically in the new window size.There is one that fits what I need, but it doesn't work properly. [URL]The current result when I use this in the HTML file is that everything is enlarged past the window size (and I end up with scroll bars), and the flash item is not centered.

View 5 RepliesI found a page that launches a full-screen browser window with a SWF in it. This SWF is non-resizable, and it is centered inside a browser window in such a manner, that both bottom AND TOP get cut off if the screen size is smaller than that of a flash file.Usually an embedded SWF would be tied to top left corner of the browser window in case of a smaller screen. In other words, top edge and left edge of a SWF file would always start at 0, 0 if the screen is too small. URL...Java script on the index page launches the full-screen browser window. But what makes the movie inside that window perfectly centered, even on a smaller (i.e. 800x600) screen, letting its BOTH bottom AND TOP edges be clipped? Is there some flash code for it? I couldn't find anything in the html code.
View 14 RepliesI used the tutorial to create a centered popup window as explained in the tutorial below http:[url].... , and it worked just fine in IE and Thunderbird.What i wanted to do next was to make that popup fill the entire screen, and I did that by changing the width and height values in the AS to screen.width/height, and that worked perfectly in Thunderbird, but it doesn't work in IE.
PS. The status bar at the bottom of the window stays there no matter the value I assign it in both of the browsers; why is that?
I'm using the centered pop up window script from: [URL]. I have multiple buttons in my flash movie which open screenshot html pages in external browser windows. The script works fine except when a popup window stays open. The rest of the buttons don't open/replace past that one popup. I tried changing the window name in the onRelease script to screen1, screen2, etc for each button, but that didn't work.
View 1 RepliesI have a preloader that measures the size of the external swf, then goes to a frame with a 'launch site' button on it. When the button is clicked, I'd like a popup window to open that is the exact size of the swf file (1100x800), but I can't figure out how to do that. I know there is some combination of AS3 and javascript required. Has anyone done this? I cannot attach the preloader file that launches the external swf since this is my first post, but have it available if anyone wants it. I also have the site online for viewing as it is currently (just loads then opens in same window)

View 1 RepliesI have a fullscreen flash .exe file. I want to be able to use the fscommand "execute" to launch an application "in front of" the fullscreen without escaping from the fullscreen. So it's like fullscreen with popups. I don't think it can be done, and some extensive research backs up my hunch, but I thought I'd run it by here and see if anyone has accomplished this.
View 1 RepliesHow do I launch a popup window from a Flash site?
View 1 RepliesI'm making an interactive cd in flash, I'm wondering how I can prompt the user with a way of saving video files (.mp4) to their computers.
Ideally they would click on a 'download video' button and then would be prompted with the usual window allowing them to choose where to save the file and name it.
Is there a way to do this within flash?
I've been using fscommand to launch files, can it be used to save files as well?
how to open a PDF in Flash CS5 that will launch into a popup browser window. In CS3/CS4 I used the "geturl" command and it worked perfect. In CS5, the geturl command always wants to open a url (ex.

I've installed the latest debug version of Flash player plugin for Mac OS X. Diagnostic page [URL] confirms that the version of Flash plugin detected is debugger one. I'am also able to debug applications using Flash-builder debugging tools. But no runtime error pop-ups are shown during browsing. Does anyone have the same problem? Does anyone know how to fix this strange behavior?
I've tried to uninstall the player using this application [URL] and reinstall Flash player again, but no luck.
UPD1: I've created additional user account and found out that error pop-ups are displayed successfully when switched to that account. So it's likely user-profile configuration issue.
My Flash app calls:
Facebook.ui("pay.prompt", data, onPayCallback, "iframe");
which works correctly on all browsers, until a recent change in the embedding of the swf file. I now use wmode="window" which gives much better performance in IE (previously I used "opaque").When the facebook credits popup appears, the game is now hidden as expected. It returns correctly when the popup is closed. However, on IE (version 9, other versions are untested) the callback is never called.
