ActionScript 3.0 :: Keep Flash Button From Opening Link In New Browser Tab
Aug 5, 2009
I'm trying to figure out why my Flash button opens the link in a new browser tab, when it should just replace the page with the new one.
I'm using Flash CS4 with AS3 code, the button in Flash receives variables from an XML file and then knows what URL to pass when the user clicks the button. "Request" is the variable being passed for the URL. The website uses PHP and everything works except opening a new tab.
The main line of code for this is:
navigateToURL(request, '_blank'); [I know this WILL open new tab]
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 recently developed my website and i decided to create buttons to link my site. The problem i'm having is that when i click on a button it's opening up a new tab in my browser.
But it keeps opening the link in a new window, how do I stop it from doing that so it opens in the same window the swf will be in? Where do I add target=_self?
Right now I have everything set up and linked correctly except when you click the button it opens up a new tab rather than just going straight to the suggested URLHere is the code I have now...
button_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage); function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
I want to link one html page which kept in the same folder and when the button pressed it will open this html page. I have no idea how to do this and after uploading in the server it tells me " page load error. Not found". How can I do this. I attached one fla for your look.
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.
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 need to open up a page within "youtube" from a clip used in a Flash movie. I have no problem with how to go about this it is just that with IE it won't let me open the link automatically - I get the "Pop up" warning spiel before the site can be opened. Is there any way I can do this seamlessly, from the movie, without requiring users to authorise security checks?
We have Flash movie in one domain and accessed from other Domain. The links in Flash movie was not working and with security restricitions we cannot use 'allowscriptaccess'. So, we used System.security.loadPolicyFile [URL]; and included the XML in our assets. This worked for the links to open in New Window. But, when the links were changed to open in the same window, the links are working in Flash Player versions till 9.2XIn the versions, 9.4X+, it is not working.
I'd really prefer my actionscript 3 project to launch in a debugger window outside of a browser, but it always opens into a browser. I browsed through the preferences
my organization is in the process of building a touchscreen interactive kiosk. We've designed a flash application to run on the kiosk to display information about our business, our publications, etc. We'd also like to be able to access our website through the flash application. We're having trouble figuring out how to do that effectively. The best we can do is to have the application launch Internet Explorer in a seperate window. This isn't so bad if we run IE in kiosk mode, however it becomes difficult/impossible to navigate back to the flash application (or to close the browser) without a mouse and keyboard (which users won't have access to).Wondering if there's a way to open or access a browser inside of the actual flash application, so users can access the flash menu, home buttons, etc and easily navigate back to the information contained in the rest of the flash application.
I have a flash form with input text fields. I am sending the data to a 3rd party server. I can send the information via getURL but I want to send the data without opening a browser window so I am utilizing sendAndLoad. It works great locally but not through a browser (tested in IE and Firefox). I have verified that all the variables and urls are in the correct case, I have tried both Post and Get, I have tried network and local..
Here is the file - click on the second image...[URL] Here is the code... on (release) { if (first_name.text.length == 0) { error.text = "** First Name Required **"; } else if (last_name.text.length == 0) { error.text = "** Last Name Required **"; [Code] .....
but now I have a new one! After fifth click browser keeps opening hundreds of new tabs! I think it's because flash keeps playing movie. There must be some kind of loop and every loop flash opens new tab. I tried to add stop(); in few different places but still no result.
I am trying to add a link button to my facebook page on my profile website, but I get flash player's permission warning when I press button and open new link window. Is the only way to permit to goto link setting flash player's security option manually? or is there any way to do not show this warning and permit going throw?
I made a simple website with a flash menu, that opens internal links in an iframe. However, I have a few other (not included in the menu) external links, which open in the same iframe. And after I click on one of them and it loads in the iframe, the buttons on the menu stop working. I'm beginning to think it has something to do with the internet explorer, since it works on some computers. But I'm not sure... not very good at this.
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'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 have a flash intro for my website and I want after the flash is finished to automatically open an external link, how can I make this? This is the index.html:
i have the following code for a flash xml slideshow and would like the links to open in the same browser window.....i am fairly new at this so i am unsure about how to add the code to make it work....
I use a dynamic text with html = true to get some data from XML file, including links. They work fine, open in a new tab with "target = '_blank'" but the browser still has my page with a flash app as active tab. How do I tell it to switch to that newly opened tab?
what is the as for opening a sized window off a link. for example, clicking an image thumbnail, and it opens larger in a window that fits the picture. with no adress bar, or stuff like that.
I was wondering how can I make my links in Flash readable for browsers? In other words, to be able to provide link to specific section of my website. For illustration, take a look at Jenson Button's website:The link above points to the "News" section, although the site is in flash.
i am loading some pages/images from some folder whose path is specified in the Xml used like this:
<page src="user/_IMAGES_//image_0002.png" />
I am using Chinese /Japanese text in this Now the problem is that when i run it in the flash it loads those pages and when i load it in the browser then that file doesn't load anything.
