I was given the following code to have my button open a link.
testbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, gotest);
function gotest(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.bing.com/"));
}
This function works fine except that it opens all my links in new windows or tabs. I added the "_self" parameter to the function and created the following:
[Code]...
I have navigateToURL(new URLRequest("page address"),"_self"); still opening a new window for all of the buttons in my menu. I think I have the syntax correct so are there any other factors?
Here is the code
ActionScript Code:
Button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mouse1DownHandler);
function mouse1DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {

I'm working on a SWF that is a banner on a home page and the is opening links a new window despite my attaching the "_self" argument to the navigateToURL command.Like here is a snippet of code TO ME it looks right:
PHP Code:
var link_001:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.lcc.edu/schedule/");button_001_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
[code]....
I understand that the code below should work but it doesn't, I have to take the underline before self out, for the hyperlink to work at all, and then it creates another window for the file. There may some sort of glitch that I am not aware of. But the code below does not work as is in my app.
var t:TextField = new TextField();
t.htmlText = "hello world"+ "<a href='weeTestPage.html' target='_self'><u>click here</u></a>";
t.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
addChild(t);
I was just wondering how when you assign a link to a button, instead of it opening that link in the same window, how can i get it to open it in a new one.
View 3 RepliesI have a rotating banner that I have created and it receives it's image and url info from an XML document. When you click on the image displayed it takes you to the correct link but it opens it in a new window. Is there a way to make the link open in the current window?

How on earth do I get the HTML links inside a flash movie open up in the same browser window where said movie is embedded in (As opposed to opening up as a new pop-up windows)? Here is the code I have inside each of the buttons I have inside my flash movie:
var link7:URLRequest=new URLRequest("videos/december.html");
videos_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClicked7);
function buttonClicked7(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(link7);
}
I'm having a little trouble with my flash banner. When I click on my button, it opens the link I specified in a new window or new tab, like target _blank in HTML. I want it to open in the same window, so you're still navigating through the site. Here's my button's code: link_btn5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.... goToURL5); function goToURL5(e:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(new URLRequest ("/forums/index.php "));}
View 4 RepliesI am trying to have multiple links off site but have hit a brick wall. If I have the code listed below, it opens the second link as soon as you open the links page, If I have the"function onLinkClick (evt)", above btn6_btn I end up with the duplicate error message. Is there a way to have multiple link buttons on a page. I have played with this for hours.

When a user clicks on a URL, I want the new page to open up in a new window (or tab),instead of always in _self, which of course replaces the movie. I've trace'd the htmlText contents, and see TARGET="" where it's building the clickable links, which I assume the browsers interpret as the same thing as _self. Is there some better way to change the target for any URLs, short of doing a search and replace of the htmlText field
View 9 RepliesI'm working on a Flash navigation using AS3. It can be seen as is @ PhilipK .ca /portfolio .
I want to make it so when you click the button on the far right, for the second time it opens a link in the tab that the flash video is embeded.
Here is the code I am having trouble with...
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest ("philipk.ca/photo_gallery/photography"), '_self') ;
}
http removed before address because I am not able to post URLs untill 50 posts
I am wondering if I have to change part of the code within the HTML? Or am I doing something wrong with the AS3 code?
just as the title says, _blank opens the link in a new window, _self does nothing could the issue be related to testing locally?

I can't seem to get the javascript open window functon to work with a simple button. I'm using flash 8. I'm creating a simple CD with exe which loads a swf movieclip. With in this movie clip is a button to open a popup window. Every javascript I have tried to use isn't working. The exe, swf and html page all reside in the same directory. There the latest:

Strange Behavior in a flash I'm working on. And I must be doing something wrong because I can reproduce it in every flash I create. You can check out the behavior here at a test page on my under construction site:I have a menu bar at the top of the page, with the following code:

function btn1ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{

If I open up a web browser and then click the menu buttons, the buttons open the link up in a new page. Once the NEW page opens, the menu buttons start acting as I would expect, then opening any further links in the same web page. Is this some internet explorer security setting? Every computer that I have utilized (total of 5) to view the web page exhibits this same behavior.
I've cobbled together a website for the family business using Flash CS4, but I'm having real trouble getting two interlinked .swf's to open in the same window. By the time you go from the homepage to the gallery and back to the homepage, you've got 3 tabs in the browser. How can I fix this? Here is my code.
ActionScript Code:
button4.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
[Code]....
The code is the same (different URL, obviously) for both links, but they open new tabs every time.
EDIT: It seems to have fixed itself. Maybe it didn't upload right when I put it on the FTP. So all is well now!
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.
Im using this code on a nav menu i have created.
on (release) {
getURL("http://mysite.com", "_blank");

item.graphics.drawCircle(30, 30, 20);

I'm just checking the swf in Flash CS5 using ActionScript 3, publishing with command+F12 (key command on Mac OSX), but that alone should work right without exporting? And to go a little off topic, could someone kindly tell me how to embed the swf as HTML code, as I'm trying to setup this swf as an intro to my website and need to embed it as HTML for my index.html page.
however, I have successfully changed the following script from AS1 to AS3. All is working with the exception of the "target". When I use "_self", nothing happens. However, when I remove _self and click on the button (image), it opens a new window.
All of the tut's I have followed have suggested the same thing, but it is not working for me.
Here is the URL in question: [URL]
And, the AS (below) I'm using. The first block of code is another attempt at correcting this, however, you'll see that it is commented out.

I'm trying to use navigateToURL with the "_self" parameter for a website navagation menu, but all I ever get is the url opening in a new window or new tab (depending on what browser you are using). What I would like is if it opens in the same window within the browser. For html validation purposes; I'm using a javascript ufo 3.22 (unobtrusive flash objects) method of embed. Here is my AS3 code which is in a standalone file (hope I got all necessary import packages included).

I know it's something real simple and I've read many a posts that scream "allowscriptaccess" issues, but even when I set that I still can't get it working properly.
I'm trying to get the link to open in the same window instead of a new window, it's currently set to _blank. I tried _top, _self, _parent. When it's set to anything other than _blank the link doesn't work.
