ActionScript 2.0 :: SendAndLoad Still Opening New Browser Window?
Mar 31, 2009
I am trying to modify this tutorial on exporting the flash movie to a jpg. On the completion of the flash file, using AS2, there is this method:
Code:
// copy is complete, send the result LoadVars to PHP
listener.onComplete = function(target:MovieClip, load_var:LoadVars){
loader.label = "sending to php..."
[code]....
so i mean...I am using sendAndLoad as appropriately right? then why does my flash movie STILL open a new window (pixels.php) after the script gets to this point? I am also open to new methods of redirecting, assume i cant stop pixels.php from opening, how do I close the current window, so at least only 1 window will be open to the user?

I followed this tutorial [URL] put the proper actions on my button, the button calls the window in a blank page but it does not have the settings in the javascript no scroll, no resize and a preset window size.
The tut is from Flash 5 and that was before the "ACruncontent" file flash uses now in cs3. window opening the way I need it is critical for a client.
I've trawled the forums but still trying to get new browser window to open from my site so far have used Properties to add URL which works fine - but doesn't open a new browser window - not sure if this (text) needs to become a button with actions
I've got one main SWF loading other SWF files and these need to run a php script. I'm nearly there, but need the php to run in the background without opening up another browser window.
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.
Im trying to make a button to open a link, in a new window, at a fixed size and without toolbars etc.
Ive searched these forums and looked for variuos guides, but to no avail. I cant get them to work =(. I found a guide(which I cant find again o0) on Kirupa but it didnt work either.
heres what I came up with:
code1: Code: on (release) { getURL("http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/5747/screenie8ya.jpg", "_blank");
[Code]....
how to get these to work? or a guide on one that works? or simply a script that will work?
I have a PHP mailer form on my site which needs to be published in action script2 to work, but I also have a script set up to open browser windows of a certain size & location which needs actionscript 1 to work? The PHP mailer form has a "Name" field, "Email" field & "Message" field, theses can all be reset with a button. The button clears off any text in the 3 boxes to wipe them clean. The script on the reset button is:
This works fine with section script 2 but not with as1. Does anyone know of a script that resets the .text field on as1 Alternatively is there any way of opening browser windows from a flash movie with browser win controls, eg. centre win, no scrollbars.
Having not used PHP in conjuction with Flash before the last few day, I'm a bit stuck.I have a PHP file which will contain a list of online courses, each with their own link to to launch them. The link to launch the course will contain data such as:
- A book mark that will be read when the flash movie loads to determine which page to go to.
- The current score of the student
- Wherever or not the student has compelted the course.The links open the course in a new popup window, and I am trying to send the PHP variables from the new window to the parent page, without much success.
If I use LoadVars.send(); then the whole works ok, updating the variables and the PHP page, but opening it in a new window, instead of just refreshing the existing page.I have tried getting my head around sendAndLoad, but it doesn't seem to work?Current the "courselist.php" file looks like this:
I have an email form that sends some variables and receives a true/false from the server. It works perfect if I use a computer that doesn't have the lates flashplayer OR if I just test from inside flash.[code]...............
I have a simple sendAndLoad XML request that works perfectly on 95% of the computers I have used. I have check crosssite stuff and everything i can think of. Its not browser specific ,os specific, or flash version specific. On these computers I can run the same flash file on a standalone player and everything works flawlessly but inside of any browser it makes the request for the XML file and stops right there. After a while like 10 minutes flash gets tired of waiting and returns not found. I can navigate to the xml file via the same browser. Upgrading Flash doesn't help.The only thing consistent is it only happens to windows computers. The requested URL is the complete URL. I have changed this and still the same.IE or Firefox still the same. Version 9 player in both. I have montiored network traffic and see the request made and maybe a response but flash has moved.
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 got a .fla file, with 3 scenes in it. In the 3rd scene, there's a button which upon clicking it, should open a new window showing a external .swf file. Both files are placed in the same folder.
Now.. I'm able to open the .swf file in a browser, but what im trying to do, is open it in flash player. How the *#@%*#@ am i supposed to that? :P
Oh yeah, i should probably mention that the external .swf file also has mulitple scenes and buttons. And both "movies" should still be interactable when i open the 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 have an .exe in fullscreen mode with different links. If I click on one link, the browser opens up in front of the .exe and shows the link. but if I leave the browser open and go to the .exe and click on another link, this link will be open on a new tab, and the browser wont be brought back in fornt of the .exe. so the user wont know that the link has been open.
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?
Trying to detect a browser close event and send some data to the database when the user closes the browser window...but can't seem to get it to work.[code]
I have looked around for this and haven't found a way that clearly explains how to do this. More often than not the button will close the browser window in one but not another browser.
Is the a simple way of closing a browser window in all types of browser ( Or mainly Firefox, IE and safari on both Mac and PC ) with actionscript?

im having no luck with this at all. im building a site for my company, building and selling homes. ive made a website in flash, nothing too complex, ive also made a pdf in indesing, which when published left me put a page turing feature on it, and that pdf was then published as a swf file. its put all the code in for me automatically so the people can now interact and page turn it.i simply want a button/link i can put on my site to open this swf in its own browser window or in a flash player window. this code in previous versions of flash has been easy...on release etc but now with as 3.0 i see people using child, navigatetourl, its so confusing and every example ive found just doesnt seem to work
The code, To open a new .swf file in the same window, like on my website when u click a button I want it to load another .swf file in the same window. Its either this or to make it open a new scene.
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'm working on a portfolio in Flash CS3 and AS3. I'm trying to avoid doing the whole thing in Flash, so the home page is a CSS/HTML header page that will house a looping flash piece underneath the header, and the inner portfolio will be flash pieces brought into the same CSS header framework.I'd like to know what kind of code I need to use in the portolio flash navigation so that the "home" link will open the CSS/HTML home page in its same window, rather than launching another window. Is this something that can be done using AS3, or do I need javascrpt as well?
