ActionScript 3.0 :: Launch A New Window With SWF From Preloader?
Jun 23, 2010
I have a preloader that measures the size of the external swf, then goes to a frame with a 'launch site' button on it. When the button is clicked, I'd like a popup window to open that is the exact size of the swf file (1100x800), but I can't figure out how to do that. I know there is some combination of AS3 and javascript required. Has anyone done this? I cannot attach the preloader file that launches the external swf since this is my first post, but have it available if anyone wants it. I also have the site online for viewing as it is currently (just loads then opens in same window)

I have a fullscreen flash .exe file. I want to be able to use the fscommand "execute" to launch an application "in front of" the fullscreen without escaping from the fullscreen. So it's like fullscreen with popups. I don't think it can be done, and some extensive research backs up my hunch, but I thought I'd run it by here and see if anyone has accomplished this.

I'm making an interactive cd in flash, I'm wondering how I can prompt the user with a way of saving video files (.mp4) to their computers.
Ideally they would click on a 'download video' button and then would be prompted with the usual window allowing them to choose where to save the file and name it.
Is there a way to do this within flash?
I've been using fscommand to launch files, can it be used to save files as well?

how to open a PDF in Flash CS5 that will launch into a popup browser window. In CS3/CS4 I used the "geturl" command and it worked perfect. In CS5, the geturl command always wants to open a url (ex. [URL]) instead of a local file on my drive. Is there any way around this to make it work like the older versions of Flash? Basically stop it from trying to launch the [URL]?

I found a great tutorial on launching a centered pop up window that kirupa posted and firefox won't execute it correctly or at all. I'm extremely frustrated because I need pop ups for my site to work and now it only functions in internet explorer or safari (mac). The url for the tutorial is [Url]
The way it works is that you have a frame action with the following function:

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.

So I read through Kirupa's XML/Flash thumbnail gallery tutorial and have since modified some of its actionscripting to display my online design portfolio. How do I make it so that 'LAUNCH PROJECT' is a link? Here is the modified Actionscripting (I have one of each for the 3 sections):
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;[code]....
As you can see at the bottom of the actionscript, I added a gotoURL action, hoping that simply by making <launch> read <launch action="gotoURL" variables="http:url...> that it would become a link. I, however, have had no such luck. Perhaps I have to add something more. How do I make it so that <launch></launch> has the ability to link to an URL?

I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out why my preloader.swf isn't scaling right as my site loads. The way my preloader works is that I load in my site code and stage elements first ( called Main.swf ). Then, when that is loaded, I preload the first large background image for my site with a second preloader bar. For the first preloader bar ( loading Main.swf ), the graphics for the preloader are all scaled up by about 25% then it jumps to normal size when the loading of the first background image starts.

I was wondering if there was a way to launch an external .swf from within the playing .swf?
I don't want the other swf to be inside of the currently playing one (like with the UILoader, I want it to be running as a completely separate instance of flash.

I've been developing a Flash application that will be running on a touch screen monitor installed in a hospital. The touch screen is run by a Windows machine. I'm afraid I don't know much about the Windows world. I'd like to have my Flash application launch in Flash Player every time the cpu is rebooted so the client never has to worry about manually doing it.

I'm getting a PreloadSwf when launching my flash application in my browser.
The error message is: PreloadSwf paths must be local trusted: [bogus_path]
It's referencing a file that doesn't exist in a directory that doesn't exist. I've seen some posts on the web about how to configure PreloadSwf via mm.cfg, but my mm.cfg doesn't reference any path (just sets log levels).
How do I tell Flash Player to skip this preloadswf so I can launch my app?

i need to be able to launch pdf files from a .exe off a cd. simple enough. the problem starts here.... when i wiew the movie using .swf or .exe some images shift a tiny bit and then shif back during some of the animations. (god knows why but it dosent look great) when viewing the movie over a browser however there is no such problem. i would like to launch a browser window with no toolbars and such fit to the flash movie that can launch pdf's. again, i can launch the .exe from the cd and furthermore launch the pdf's but some images shift for some reason.. is there anyway possible to get around the security features in flash that wont allow you to launch a local file from a .swf file?

I`m trying to get an URL launched by clicking on it - thing is though that I want to keep the URL list uptodate and maintained through XML.
PODlob`s fla suits the purpose very well, but I can`t get the URL to get launched.

Let's say the Flash doc is set up in the form of a webpage. Then I have 5 buttons on the left. Now, I have another Flash banner at the top of the page.I'd like each button to launch a different animation within that top container upon clicking.I'm having trouble getting the script to work. Someone told me to put the script on the timeline of the actual main webpage - not attach to the buttons (which I find odd) I haven't used ActionScript in years!Oh, and I placed a stop action in the first frame of each animation movie clip so that they won't auto-play when the page gets uploaded to the web.

I seem to remember that to debug in 8 you have the file open you wanted to play with and then went to "debug" then the UI would change to Debug mode and a swf would popup.
I'm in cs4 and trying to debug a simple 3 line trace statement and when I hit "debug" it changes to "debug mode" and I can move through breakpoints and see variables and stuff. However, it doesn't open a swf (so I can actually see the actual FILE) until the END of the program has run.
I assume it is supposed to open the SWF as soon as I hit "debug"
