I need to have button that closes the window. The window is a .php page, but it has the following javascript function:
Code:
function closeWindow(){
self.close();
[Code].....
Is there something about closing a window that does not work in AS? Or maybe is there a problem because it is a PHP file?
I'm trying to use ExternalInterface.Call to call a JavaScript function to launch a lightbox window. So far I have this:
AS3:
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("launchLB", "" + aUrl + "");
JavaScript:
function launchLB(url) {
alert(url);
[Code]....
I get the alert but I can't get the lightbox window to display. When my as code makes the ExternalInterface call I get what looks like a page refresh and a blank browser window.
[URL]..Above is a link to a component I'm working on. I've overlayed one swf with another swf which is going to display a sort of advertisement slide. What I'm trying to achieve is that when the adbanner (id="mediabanner") reads an xml file and reads "false", it then calls the ExternalInterface function "hideFlash" and in turn closes the swf so that the swf beneath it can be seen.
Could someone view the page source and let me know what I am doing wrong? The hideFlash function is being called, but its not actually hiding the swf.
i have some actionscript that makes a
ExternalInterface.call('someFunction');
call.is it possible to reference the html object that made the call to someFunction directly using the ExternalInterface.call call?
Assume that the object that makes the call also has some Callbacks (via ExternalInterface.addCallback) that are accessible via javascript.
Currently:
Actionscript source
ExternalInterface.call("someFunction");
ExternalInterface.addCallback("someCallback",someASfunction);
[code]....
I need to get a javascript var in my Flash application. I like to be able to just set a variable in the javascript (client constraints) rather than define a function.
Can this be done? I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call()
AS:
ExternalInterface.call("function(){return window.someVar}", null);
JS:
var someVar = "Test";
This does not work and I suspect it is because the ExternalInterface.call() does not like the anonymous function.
I have a function defined in JavaScript like so:
function fadeBack() {
alert("fadeBack called");
};
I call that function from my Flash file like so:
import flash.external.*;
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("fadeBack");
This works in both Safari and Chrome, but for some reason Firefox won't ever call the function. Still, I can't figure this out. How can I fix it?
We have been given some code that does a URLRequest call which is really slow to respond, so I was looking to make it pull the data from the page, as it is already on the page.[code]I have tried to replace it with this (actionscript is definitely not my forte):[code]I am using addCallBack as that is what the editor suggested via autocomplete, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. Unfortunately I cannot go back to the developer at this time.The error message is:Call to a possibly undefined method addCallback through a reference with static type flash.external:ExternalInterface

I made a custom class which shows a popup window in flash. What I want to do is to close it by clicking anywhere but not the window itself (and everything that is a button on the stage). I added this line of code

Before anyone freaks out, yes I have searched and read up on this for hours now and I can't seem to be get it right... Simple..close a pop up window from flash. The code that opens the pop up has this code: (from kirupa)

I'm trying to add an event listener to a window that pops up (to the whole window) that will close that window when clicked on. Basically it's your typical about window that would be found in any program by hitting help, then about this program. I am using no chrome on it so I'd like to just be able to click it and have it close.
On a less important note I'd like to center the window on the stage when it pops up. Right now I'm just using the x and w properties to get it close to center on my monitor but obviously that won't work for everyone. Below is the code I've tried. No luck whatsoever. Window pops up but stays up if I click it. Any help as always would be AMAZING!

i am using the following code to close the my browser.
getURL("javascript:window.opener=self;window.close()");
The above code is not working in Flash player 10.
I am currently trying to work out how to get Flash to close the browser window it is running in. I've done a simple Javascript test version which works fine.. But if I try and use:
ExternalInterface.call("closeMyWindow");
Functionality it does not. My simple Javascript version is cut and paste below and attached to this message.

I think my original post on this was lost following from the hacking of the site, so I'll try again.
Hopefully someone out there will have an idea where I am going wrong with this: I am currently trying to close browser window that a flash movie is running. Due to the fact that the browser window is not a popup "child", using the normal "self.close()" or "window.close()" brings up the IE7+ prompt of "This page is trying to close this the window" when it is executed.

how do you use javascript to close a popup window, from inside an html window in the swf file itself... ?
View 3 RepliesI am having a problem with my sound. I have this toggle button I'm using to turn sound on and off. This is only working for me in the "home" or the first scene but not any of the others. I have the code for this in the "home" scene on the actions layer. Do I need to put the code on all scenes to make it work? If not, then what am I doing wrong?Also, in my "web" and "print" scenes, I have the smaller thumbnail images open up a pop up of a larger version of that image. I have a close button on each pop up, but it is not working. This is the code on the button:
close_btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.attachedMovie.unloadMovie();
};[code].....
Simple..close a pop up window from flash.[code]and the button to close the pop up is this:[code]However, this closes the parent window and leaves the pop up open.Have tried this in various ways but nothing seems to work??
View 2 RepliesCurrently I have the code for a button within the swf on our webpage:
Actionscript Code:
on(release){ getURL('javascript:window.close()'); getURL("MyUrl.com","_blank");}
close the web browser (including the swf document) and to open another webpage in a new browser. I have looked around and nothing seems to work with Firefox (because of java security). While I know a user could disable this java security, it is obviously not practical to ask every one who visits the site to so and was curious if there is a way to do this same operation with Firefox?
I'm a web designer but I just don't use a lot of Flash. I'm sure this will change as time goes on. For now, I'm still using an old version of Flash MX on my Mac - Flash MX version 6. But I don't think that has anything to do with the problem. I designed a flash animation for my wife's website back in 2004 and it has always worked perfectly up until installing the most recent Flash Player 10.0.32.18 just a few days ago. Here's the problem:On my wife's website, we have a special link called "view presentation". You click on that link and a smaller, separate window pops up. Inside of this pop up window is the flash animation (the actual swf file). In the HTML code for the pop up window, I have coded the following javascript:
function closeWin() {
if (document.images) {
self.close();
[code].....
Using AS3, and without modifying the published HTML file, I want close the browser window (IE/Firefox) in which my SWF is playing on click of a button. This is not a pop-up window that the SWF is running in. It is the main browser window.
Here's my code:
btn_closeBrowser.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, close_Browser);
function close_Browser(event:MouseEvent):void{
var jscommand:String = "window.close();";
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
navigateToURL(req, "_self");}
Nothing happens when I click on btn_closeBrowser in IE or Firefox.
i've used this code but it turns out that it closes the whole application:
import flash.system.fscommand;btn_exit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goExit);function goExit(evt:MouseEvent) {fscommand("quit");}
An old discussion - but still relevant: Does anyone know a script for a button making it able to close a Firefox browser window (on a mac)?
I have tried 1) variants of "javascript:window.close()" and 2) to make the button open a new window in itself, which immediately afterwards closes itself...

I hear there is some technical javascript wizadry which allows one to do this.
