View 1 Replies1) how do you open a new window if you have thumbnail pics in the flash movie but want the full pic to open up in a new window? Is this Javascript inside flash?
2) How do they do the menu bar here at this site:[URL]
I need very easy and basic instructions to open a Lightbox 2.04 effect from Flash.
I need to know where I have to write the code, for example do I write the HTML code in the Actionscript, or in my HTML file???
I managed to make Lightbox 2 work from HTML (click on the image). (take aay the dots from the www as I could not attach a link)
[URL]
Now, I want to have the same thumbnail in Flash but as a button and make it open that lightbox.
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 1 RepliesThe flash player has a little window that can be opened (similar to flash->settings) telling the user to update the player if the movie loaded is for a more recent version. How can you instruct the player to do this? ITV have managed it with their catchup-tv player.
Context: I am allowing users to copy flash into their PowerPoint presentations and would like to tell them to update their flash player if necessary. I am not embedding a web page in the power point so no JS can be run for checking etc (because I know this is not necessary).
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.
Does anyone know how to make the URL open in the same window. I am using flash CS3:
vr getnextpage5:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.yokubou.co.uk/digitalart.html");
Button6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,b5Click) ;
function b5Click(event:MouseEvent):void{
[code].....
link opens up a new window rather that the same window?
PHP Code:
//listen for mouse click on" button"
button,addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigatetoURL);
[code].....
What am I doing wrong? My link opens in a new window rather in the same window.[code]

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:

View 1 RepliesI have an movie for site for a customer. Within the movie are thumbnails of images. We need to get these thumbnails to open in a light box when clicked. The customers site already uses lightbox (jquery) extensively and they have sent us all the files. To make the image open in a light box you just make it a link and give it a class.
This makes me think that I will need to import some css into flash to give the links the necessary styling. However, I suspect that there is rather a lot more going on with the jquery files than that! What I would need to do in order to make this work? Would I be better of just using flash to re-create the effect. In order to set the lb up for html you just do this in the header:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].className = 'jsEnabled';
</script>
<title>index001</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/styles.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="scripts/jquery-1.3.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="scripts/fn_combined.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="scripts/global.js"></script>
And then in the body
Code:
<a class="lightbox" href="openMe.html">CLICK HERE</a>

View 3 RepliesI have a flash slide on my site. The slide has next and previous buttons to either move to the next slide or the previous slide. Each slide is only an image. When you click a particular image it takes you to the page specific to the image you clicked.
My issue is this: When you click the image, it opens the page in a new window. I would like to have the window open in the same window, but having issues figuring out how to do it.
The flash is controled by an image.xml script. I've added target= "_blank" to the xml, but the URLs are still opening in a seperate window. I didnt create the flash, is it possible the issues lies within the .fla file?
Below is a sample of images.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<images>
<pic>
<image>imagesimage.jpg</image>

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.

I'm running an online game site, and a few websites are really bad about embedding some of my games and stealing bandwidth.
To combat this, I replaced the original files with super-simple .swf files that redirected back to my own websites -- thus stealing back the traffic that they were stealing from me.
The problem came later when something changed with the new Flash player, and new windows no longer opened. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get new windows to open. I've tried a few different approaches, but nothing appears to work.
So what I'm wondering is, can this even be done anymore -- where I can switch out a .swf that's being leeched with one that opens a window to my own site?

how i can open new window
I am building a kiosk app in flash and need to open browser windows whenever there is a URL link. The problem is that when the browser window opens, the fullscreen flash becomes a resizable window and the user has to close the window and open the flash app again to make it full screen again. So i'm wondering if there's any way I can open a browser window within the flash app sort of like an iframe or lightbox pop up? I've heard of this Native Window thing but I'm not sure what that is.
View 1 RepliesI'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.
I use to use: getURL("main.html", "_self"); to forward after my intro to my main html, now flash CS4 says its not supported? I have been looking online...looks like the new script is: url request? I see parts of pieces of what I need, but I have yet to see the complete correct example. Can someone please post the script to forward my intro to my index page. I would like index to open in the same window (_self).

I am trying to open a new browser window from within my Flash app. To do this, I am using the line:[URL]..The problem is that when I test the code from in Flash CS4 nothing happens! It's like the line of code isn't there. But when I manually open the .html file which Flash CS4 generated that embeds my .swf, then the Flash app opens in my browser and promptly opens a new window to yahoo juat like it should, so it does not seem to be an AS3 syntax issue. I just got a new computer yesterday, with a fresh install of Flash CS4. I do not have this problem on my old computer. The old computer runs the code perfectly. Could there be some weird default security settings at work here in Flash CS4?
Does anyone have any experience with this sort of problem, or any clue what might be happening?
Is there a way to open a new window from Flash as a pop-up (i.e. a specific size without toolbars etc.). The new window needs to hold some flash movies in AS3 which arn't compatible with the AS2 parent movie.
