ActionScript 3.0 :: Triggers Pop-up Blockers And Becomes An Inconvieience To The Audience?
Jun 29, 2009
Im currently using AS3 code with some javascript integrated into it which allows me to open an image in a popup window which is the same size as the image. The problem im having is that it triggers pop-up blockers and becomes an inconvieience to the audience. Ive seen pages where it doesent trigger the pop-up blocker - and am wondering how this is done.
I asked a friend of mine, he didnt know either - but assumed it might have somthing to do with emulating a pressed CTRL key.

I am a 2D illustrator and am relatively new to Flash (and love it!) and want to add some simple Flash animations (using my illustration) to my portfolio website. But I am having issues when exporting to .swf - I have emailed on examples of work to friends and colleagues to view (and check) and most have trouble opening the .swf files. In fact most can't open them at all! Is this more to do with your average (probably a pc user) person not having an up to date Flash player or to do with my settings when exporting? How to best export to .swf to ensure the majority of people can open and play the file?

I have a question concerning pop up blockers. Would I somehow be able to create something in flash, and when clicked the link opens in a new window (_blank) however, as I have it right now, some pop up blockers are preventing the new window to open.So, would I able to implement something into the code to prevent this from happening?
butt.onPress = function() {
getURL("LINK", "_blank"); }

I was recently testing the Amazon MP3 Widget on my site. It was not appearing and I realized it was being blocked by my ad blocker plug-in that prevents cross site flash objects. I want to know if there is a way to tell people that they are missing this content. It seems like the ad blocker simply removes any embed code. What can I do to tell people they might be missing something they actually want to see. I'm hoping there's something similar to the no script tag, but I'm assuming its more than that.

Apparently there's a problem with the nagivateToUrl function in Flex, namely that it tends to get blocked by the popup blockers in some browsers. A project I've recently joined is using a workaround for Firefox using browser sniffing, but a new feature would be a lot cleaner to implement if I could drop this. whether this problem still exists with current Firefox versions? What about Firefox 3.6?

This is the Class I'm using to bypass the popup blocker. This is the function to call to the class function
function linkHandler(e:MouseEvent):void{
popup.ChangePage(linksURLArray[e.currentTarget.name], "_self");
} this is the class.

I'm using FLCS4 (AS3) and I've built a very basic site, simple pages on various frames. Three of the frames/pages contain video components that auto-play a flv clip.What I'm asking is it possible to know when the video clip is finished and at that point display a button.(So the user cant proceed forward until the video clip is finished playing){captive audience, so to speak}Anyways, is this possible, if so; how do I approach it?

I'm tyring to do something a little complicated and I was hoping for some expertise I'm using a timer which triggers a gotoAndPlay after 5 secs. It works fine but I am now trying to work out if it is possible that if I press a button I would be able to stall the timer. i.e the goToAndPlay only happens after 5 sec otherwise the it is prevented and the the timer goes back to zero.
I know its a bit difficult to describe but I have attatched the .fla to help you see what I mean.
In terms of the code I'm using:

it loads an external .swf file and is supposed to play it. I've added an event listener to run when the file is loaded. The function it calls moves the video to the bottom most layer so the buttons still show and then plays the file. The problem is the event listener never triggers.

I am trying to adapt to AS3, and I am new to writing packages. I have my external .as file, and in there I have a bunch of functions. I need to call a function written on the timeline.I realize I need to use dispatchEvent, but I'm not exactly sure how. In the package, I currently have:

Basically I want to have something pop-up, and stay up on when the mouse moves to a side of the swf, but it re-animates the pop-up motion when the mouse is moved even after it is on one side. Here is the script I wrote for it: (left_motion is the mc that has the animation.)
onMouseMove = function() {
if (_xmouse <= 300) {
left_motion.gotoAndPlay("up");
trace("mouse is on the left");
[code].....
So what I'm wondering is, how do I have the pop-up animation happen only when the mouse has changed from the right to the left, and vice versa (sides determined by the x position of the mouse).

if I put a TLF in my FLA, doesn't matter where, the project compiles but as soon as it runs triggers errors that are not related to TLF at all.It doesn't find a linked class apparently. A class which has nothing to do with TLF. I remove the TLF (in root, anywhere I put it no difference) and the project runs again.

I'm using BlazeDS to send messages in Flex. Inside the UI component, I defined a producer like the one below:
<mx:Producer id="producer"
destination="chat"
fault="faultHandler(event);"/>
I was wondering inside faultHandler how I'm able to identify what message causes the error. As it seems there's no way to get the reference to the original message.This is the code snippet how the message is constructed and sent.
private function sendMessage():void {
var message:AsyncMessage = new AsyncMessage();
message.body = userName.text + ": " + input.text;

I am getting an unexpected behaviour when using the onRollOver event with a movieclip.The onRollOver behaviour is initialised after some animation. This allows me to hold my cursor over the movieclip. When the initialise function adds the onRollOver event function to the clip, it triggers, even though my cursor is already over the clip and a nice animated glow is added to the movieclip. This is good and the behaviour I want.
onRelease the movieclip I call a disable function and this sets the onRollOver event function to null. After some more devestatingly good animation, I reuse the initialise function to reset the onRollOver event function to react again. This time, if my cursor is already over the clip when the onRollOver is initialised, the onRollOver does not fire.
Code:
function wsInitNodes():Void{
wsCurrentNode.onRollOver = function(){
// Do groovy animation stuff
};

I'm wondering whether its possible to trigger some script by what area the mouse is hovering over. I know this would be simple with roll over buttons, but I already have buttons and thats where the problem comes in because they share the same space. So for instance I need something that says if the mouse is at X, Y ( or a broader area ) goto frame 2

In Flex 3, MX effects could be triggered like this:
<mx:Resize id="myEffect" />
<mx:Button mouseDownEffect="{myEffect}" />
In Flex 4, Spark effects are triggered like this:
protected function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
resizeEffect.end();
resizeEffect.play();[code]....
There might be small differences between mouseDown trigger and the click event, please ignore that, it's just an example.I'm not sure whether triggers would or would not work reliably for Spark effects. Maybe they would but I guess there is a reason why this possibility is not even mentioned in the official docs.

I have a wheel that the user can spin by flicking it with a mouse (think wheel of fortune). It needs to trigger an event once the spinning has finished depending on what section of the wheel it has landed on. I can get it to trigger an event but it triggers every time the wheel passes the hitTest object, not just when it is done. I've attached a sample of it.

This image shows the problem, the 3 is a PNG image with a nice drop shadow that expands quite far from the white square. It is a movieclip which was added by the square movieclip.This obviously changes the size of the movieclip so the ROLL_OVER will trigger whenever the mouse is over either of these objects.My question is, how would I make the movieclip "3" never trigger any sort of mouse event for its parent?
Things that do not work:
mouseEnabled = false; (why doesn't this work?? ugh)
mouseChildren = false;
