ActionScript 2.0 :: Pop Up Window Also Pops Up Behind My Original Window?
Mar 22, 2004
I was following the tutorial on this site for the pop up window and was having some problems. When I click on my link to open the pop up window I also get another window that says [object].The pop up window also pops up behind my original window. I launching the pop up window from a swf loaded into another swf.
I'm working on this flash site This is my first time using the loadVars command, so I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong with it.I have a movie clip that acts as a window, it has an animation of popping up, once it does it has a text box in it thats set up to display html. It then loads the html from a txt file, which works fine. The problem is, when the user clicks on another page, the window pops out, starts over from the beginning and pops in, this time loading a different txt file for the html. This also works, however, if you select the text or click on it at all and then switch the page, anywhere you click next will make all the text in the box vanish. You can click and hold onto the scroll bar and scroll down, but the second you let go it vanishes.
Here is the loading code on the frame in _root:
[code]...
I can't think of any reason why this is happening, and all of my debugging attempts have failed.
how some websites you click on something, a flash window (I'm assuming it's a flash window) pops up and everything goes dark around it (and you can't click anywhere) until you close the window.
When the link is clicked, it pops up a new window with the path of the fla file in the address bar and an UNDEFINED at the end...
Code: on (release) { getURL(_root.clickTag, "_blank"); }
With this AS on the button the link does not pop up at all
Code:[code]...
I've used clickTag, clickTAG, ClickTag, and ClickTAG all with the same results... not that it should matter as long as the flash and html match.I've tried to add the clickTag in the html like this
HTML Code:[code].....
And none of that is working so maybe SWFobject would work?
I know how to make a symbol "clickable" to where it brings you to a URL, but I need to know how to make my game (I made for a virtual world) to pop up when I click on a laptop (not in a new link).
The form is done and works. I set it up to send an email when the "submit" button is pressed. The problem is that after the form is submitted the home page pops up in a new window. I need it to send the email without a new window popping up. Here is the code.
var address:String = "/gdform.php"; var url:URLRequest; var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
what i am trying to achieve is have a rollover on a button that pops up a 'window' with some text on it (i have this bit worked out) then once the user has finished reading the text they rollout from the 'window' and the image behind is restored. i have attached the .fla so you can see what i mean.
what is going wrong is that the active part of the rollover on the button is only very small and as the 'window' expands and then reveals the text, the active part of the button remains small. so when the user moves his or her mouse the 'window' disappears. i'd like it to stay open until they rollout from the entire text window.
I strolled across something neat on a radio website [URL] and I really like how they do the flash on the top left. Below is the link to the actual SWF for bigger so that you can see what the SWF looks like. on the link above, you can move your mouse over the squares and it pops up a little window. You can even click on that. Here is the link to the SWF. [URL]
I'm an actionscript beginner and am trying to create a flash file with a button that allows to user to swith from viewing my movie in their browser, to viewing it full screen.I've managed to source some code from the net, and although when I click my 'toggle button' the full screen works perfectly...when I click it again the flash file returns to the original browser window but I dont see my movie - just my back ground fill colour.The code I have is as follows (and is placed on frame 01 of my actions layer)
fullScreenButton.onPress=function() { if (Stage.displayState=="fullScreen")[code].....
i would like that my window opens and closes (opens: scale out; closes: scale in) not by clicking on the button but on the window itself.here are 3 applications of mine (schuifwindow, scroll and fotoalbum).
Grtz,Jan the man
here are 3 applications of mine (schuifwindow, scroll and fotoalbum). schuifwindow www.truevision.be/other/btn_home.flascroll www.truevision.be/other/scroll.flafotoalbum www.truevision.be/other/foto_album.fla only picture one (left up corner) has a X button (i dont want to use this button)
I am preparing a presentation DVD... DVD will contain wmv video, user manual and another flash exe file... So DVD interface will contain three elements; user manual, a flash exe file and video.. Flash video window will be short-time video, playing like 5-10 seconds then repeats itself... My question is, how could I accomplish to put video window playing certain amount of time then repeats itself, in main window? I need as3 fla example, which could be so useful for me..
I'm trying to place a popup window (TitleWindow) in the middle of the main application window. how do i set the coordinates of my popup window to be of the main application window? i tried the localToGlobal function but with no luck, I just can't get the main window x and y.
So I have this AIR app coded in flex where I have several floating native windows and what I want is to detect when a user clicks outside of a window so that I can close it. (I don't want to use the PopupManager Class and would want to use the native windows).
My question is, is there a way to detect a click outside of a spark window, or alternativley is there some root container/object which is a parent to all the native windows so that a click inside any native window would bubble up to it? (Apparently the stage object of the root windowed application is not that object since each window is not a child of the stage for the root application).
I 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 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.
The problem is: i have a flash movie (*.swf) 1280w x 640h,, and & want to remove the resize function, i mean block the window from being bigger window. i actually set a noscale function that is working on content, but the problem is with the window..... my code for nonscale is now:
I have an asp page that will open a new asp page in a new window that contains a swf file with a button.hen the user clicks the button i want to close that window and reload the parent window.
ACTUALLY i just thought of another one so now i have two. sorry. hope you don't mind. i get sidetracked rather easily. before i start, a quick nota bene. i'm a complete newcomer to flash so my questions are very simpleminded. not much of a challenge i'm afraid.
1. can i put a link in my movie that will close the window?
2. can i put a link in my movie that will open a new window of a specific size, and without the menu-buttons of explorer?
Go to [URL]. Click on "The Photos". It will pop up in a fullscreen window. Try resizing the window and you'll notice that the background is vector and it looks like the scale mode is set to "showAll". BUT, the photos look like they have a separate scale mode set to "noScale". They don't resize.
i have a flash site that links to PDF's with the navigateToURL function which works etc But now i would like Link to rather open up a download window instead of just a new browser window?
i've made a flash movie in res 600 * 300, now i want to keep this res don't want the user to be able to expand the browser window or change the res or anything how do i do this?
I'm trying to get the link to open in the same window instead of a new window, it's currently set to _blank. I tried _top, _self, _parent. When it's set to anything other than _blank the link doesn't work.
I have a window, the window I programmatically change the size of the window depending on the current view it is displaying. The user cannot resize the window them self, but they can maximize the window.
The problem is if the view is changed while it is maximized, the maximized window size changes, I do not want this, I want it to only change the size of the non-maximized window.
My first thought is to just check if the window is maximized, and if so do not resize it...but the issue there is then when it is restored at a different view then when it was maximized it will not restore to the new size it should be.
I have a Adobe Air app (AS3, not Flex) that has 2 windows. When I click away from them onto another desktop program, I get an "Deactivate" Event (as you would expect).When I click on say Window#1 I get an "Activate" Event (as you would expect).But when I go from Window#1 to Window#2, I get nothing. And I believe this is because the Air application is still the active program, Just a Different Window.
But I have the need to know when I go from 1 window to another.The horrible solutions I have come up with so far is to have an onEnterFrame and check if the current window is the active window. But I would much prefer to do it a much better way that such a hack.I have gone though Stage, NativeApplication and Native Window Events and none of them do what I need. Can anyone point me to another Event I may have overlooked?
In Flex Air app, how do you open a window behind an active one?
I tried following and i can't seem to get it to work
[Code]...
With this code, I would expect window1 to open behind the main app window and, in 3 seconds, window2 would open behind window1. But if you execute this, window1 will open on top of the main window and window2 will open on top of window1 and the main app will retain focus. This seems like a bug in the Flex. If so is there any workaround for this problem?
I've just started working on a photo viewer type desktop AIR app with Flex. From the main window I can launch sub-windows, but in these sub-windows I can't seem to access the data I collected in the main window.
How can I access this data? Or, how can I send this data to the sub-window on creation? It doesn't need to be dynamically linked.
I realize this might be a very easy question but I have searched the web, read and watched tutorials on random AIR subjects for a few days and couldn't find it. The risk of looking like a fool is worth it now, I want to get on with my first app!
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 want to put a movieclip with tools at the bottom of the window in the center with tools icons, it should have fixed posiiton so that user can scroll the main window having it always on prompt. I think I need the browser window size properties to do somenthing as this. Is there a way to get them?
