I am working on a project that is not going on the web, but CDs. I'm trying to have a swf load in a new flash player window when a button is clicked. I've searched the web, but seem to only find how to open a new browser window.

The title essentially is the question, how do I open the .swf without the browser's control bar junk? and maximize the window?
View 2 RepliesI'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?
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 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?
How to open a Browser popUp window from Actionscript ( Flash )?
View 3 Repliesgetting a PDF file to open in new browser window from Flash?For example:
Code:
getURL("test.pdf","_blank");
I have a client using IE7 on XP that says they see a brief popup that disappears before it is rendered. No error message is received.She is able to open a PDF from a plain html page
Code:
<a href="test.pdf" target="_blank">link</a>
Should I try converting getURL's to javascript calls?
i have a flash site that links to PDF's with the navigateToURL function which works etc But now i would like Link to rather open up a download window instead of just a new browser window?
View 3 RepliesHow to open a browser window at a specified width and height. I want the window to be say 300 x 300. I am using actionscript and this is my code. I am using flash 8.
on (press) {
getURL("E-Mail List.html","_blank");
This then opens a page in dreamweaver. I suspect I have to use some javascript in the dreamweaver page.
I am having a problem. I found the actionscript 2 code to open a browser window, but it is not working in Safari, or Firefox. I found an old action script 1 file version 5 for the flash player that works just fine, but I am using 8 and actionscript 2 so that doesn't work for me.
View 5 Replieshow 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]?
View 9 RepliesI need to know (fairly soon), how to make the .swf file i have linked into a page open in flash player, not an explorer window.
View 2 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).
[code]I open IMAGEURL.txt, which contains a variable named "img" with a value in it. I call that value and set it to myurl. Then, I load myurl's image into img_container.This works when I test the swf while flash open, but not while I test in the standalone swf thats exported on my computer, or on a browser. Something about internet settings came up as well, til I published to "allow network only".
View 3 Replieshow to set the flash player, not the contents to resize to fit browser window.
[SWF(width="1024", height="768", backgroundColor="#000000", frameRate="29")]
My main swf is set to the above, but I want it to resize and fit the window?
1) 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 am making a flash site and there is a main SWF which loads and unloads all other SWFs into and from it. For example, there are links to pages Home, Biography, Gallery, etc. When you click the Gallery link, gallery.swf loads and it is added to the main SWF.
So here's my problem: when I test my movie, everything works perfectly, but when I open the SWF that was created by testing movie in a stand-alone Flash Player or a browser, those SWF's sometimes don't load. If I click Biography link, for example, it usually doesn't load biography.swf but if I click Gallery link, which may or may not load gallery.swf, and then Biography link, there's a greater chance that biography.swf will be loaded.
This application is for a social network, so use JavaScript will not work.

View 1 RepliesEssentially we just need to embed a flash banner ad that upon click and release of the mouse button the specified URL opens in a new browser window.
The code [Action Script 3?] we have used is below:
btn_click.buttonMode = true;
btn_click.useHandCursor = true;
btn_click.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goood);
[Code]....
Am I correct in assuming this getURL code is not supported by Action Script 3? How would this code or any other be added? And what does "_self" refer to?
I've tried all the tutorials on kirupa, checked out adobe live docs, forums all the works and i've tried 20 different methods to open a browser window with a fixed width and height. i'm using Flash 8 and am wondering if there is a new method for opening a browser window with ixed params. it seems every tutorial i find is for flash 5 or earlier and none of them work. and i've tried opening them both in firefox and ie. the standard getURL _blank works fine of course...i just need to adjust the window size to scale to an image.
View 5 RepliesI 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'm sorry to have to ask this as I know there are many tutorials out there on how to do this, but using as2 how can I open a new browser window when a button is clicked, that is sized to specific dimensions? The reason I ask is because every bit of code I tried to use did absolutely nothing, when I clicked on the button nothing happened. This is the code I'm trying to use at the moment
Code:
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('master.html','Title','width=1024,height=614,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
I'm using flash CS4, flash player 10 and actionscript 2
