ActionScript 3.0 :: GetUrl Won't Open In Same Window?
May 26, 2009
I am creating a website with a flash menu on each page. I am using getUrl code to target each page but I can't seem to get the pages to open in the same window. If I use '_new' or '_blank' the pages open in a new window as they should but if I use '_self' or '_top' nothing happens.
Code: AS3
aboutBtn.buttonMode = true;
aboutBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callAbout);
function callAbout(e:MouseEvent):void{

I am using Flash CS3, AS 2.0 and I have a button with -
on (release) {
getURL ("http://www.axiomaudio.com/store.html", _blank)
}
This is a small banner in an HTML page and I want it to open in the same window instead of opening a new window. I have tried using _self) instead of _blank) but it still opens a new window.

I have a menu that navigates my webpage. Say, for instance, I click on the "Home" button, it should take me to the homepage.I want the home page to open in the same window, not another window or tab. So I used this code:
Code:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.mywebpage.com/home",_self);
}
Yet the homepage opens in a new window instead of the same window. Should I be using the "_self" parameter, or something different?

I am using the getURL function in response to a button event. I need it to open the URL (absolute) in a new browser window, but I need the new browser window to open on top of the current browser window. Right now it's opening behind the current browser window. Below is my code:
on (release){
getURL("absolute URL here", "_blank");
}

I work with 3d animation. Im have a problem with a personal website Im doing, I have a link in a button inside a flash movie to open a new window and play a youtube movie:
on (release) {
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.youtube.com/v/b0L4XLODhAA&hl=en&fs=1&','win','height=344,width=4 25,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
}
This works fine in Firefox but in IE it doesnt work, I then change the /v/ in the youtube link with /p.swf?video_id= and now I have the window open showing the small youtube thumbnail of my video but once a click play, nothing happens, I check it and is not loading anything.

I am creating a standalone Flash projector in which the user will be able to click a button to view a PDF file, I am using the getURL method to open the PDF file and it opens in my default Internet browser instead of Acrobat Reader, which is kind of expected. Is there anyway to 'launch' to open in Acrobat Reader instead?

In all previous versions of flash I have been able to use "geturl" on a button and pull up a pdf in a local directory on my computer. Now with CS5, the same code pulls up a webpage and actually tries to go to a url. Is there a new way in CS5 to open a pdf on my local drive?

I have a strange getURL Problem under some windows installations. I autostart a Flash-projector from a CDROM. This file contains some buttons with getURL. When clicking on the buttons, the browser starts and shows a HTML-file from the CDROM.But under some circumstances this won't work. We have found some Windows-installations where we are not able to start the browser by calling getURL.I know, this seems not to be a Flash problem. It looks like a problem in the interaction from a Flash projector and Windows.

I have a Flash form sending variables to an ASP script (bono.asp) in order to print a discount bonus. The bonus grafic is then shown in a new window for the user to print with his/her data on it. (name, address, etc). Well, the problem is that it not only opens a new window with the bonus (without the data ), it also opens the bonus in the current window (with the data), forcing the user to "go back" to the flash website and loading the entire animation again. This is the code in the Flash form asociated to the Button:

is there any way to use the getURL command without it actually opening a new page? What I'm really doing is sending variables to a php page and inserting data into a database, but when i use LoadVars and LoadVars.send it's not workin for some reason. So I tried a simple getURL and that also sends the variables to the page and that works for me, but I don't want the users to see a new window popup or for the one theyre in to go to a new URL...? Maybe I'll post my LoadVars code too just to make sure I did that correctly... but I copied and pasted it from another LoadVars object in the same flash program that is working correctly (both sending AND loading variables)...

From Flash, I'd like to launch a new browser window just like getURL() does, but I've had some trouble finding a way to make the new window addressbar-less. I'd like it so you click a button in flash and it pops up a new browser window showing pretty much nothing but the content of that page. So no addressbar, no back and forth browser controls, its just for displaying an image with. Javascript solutions or anything else are fine, as long as it can be launched from some script in Flash itself.

Is there a work around to the getURL Firefox issue? I am having trouble getting Firefox to open my file from my exe when FF is set to my default browser. If FF is already open, the getURL functions fine. If FF is closed, I have to click on my button twice in order to open the file (ie, click once opens a blank window, click again and the file opens) I have FF 2.0.0.1, Flash MX 2004 Prof. I have tried setting an interval to have the getURL fire again but I can't seem to get it to work.

Just wondering if anyone knows what I would add to my actionscript for a getURL command to make the browser window that opens up a certain size, in my case, really small.

i'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 have the following problem trying to open a new window from flash:
getURL(url, new_window, "POST")
What happened was that the first time I clicked the button, it opens a new window; but subsequent clicks seem to do nothing... No "post" is done and that window doesn't get refreshed.

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?

So basically i have a flash application that needs to call a url when a button is clicked, but i don't want it to actually load a new window or even load the url. All the button does is call the url and it logs it, kind of like a click tag. My server keeps track of the number of times the particular url is called.
Everything works fine, but everytime i do it, it opens up a new browser window that is empty, i do not want to open a new window. I am using getURL, but that actually opens a new page, is there any other way to do this?

I'm working on a kind of coverflow layout and I'm using an XML file to house my links and information about those links. in my ActionScript, I'm using getURL to point to the link the user clicks and open the link in a new window using the following script:
getURL(infostruc[current - 1].artLink, "_blank");
I need to have the new window open up to a specific size (1014x714), but I'm not sure how to write the AS for this kind of action since I'm calling the link from an external file.

I've tried a few of the components that are supposed to make this easy but, I haven't found one that works properly yet.
