ActionScript 3.0 :: Window Open Event Listener From External Html?
Aug 18, 2009
Is there any way to have as3 'listen' for a window to be opened anywhere from the _parent page?I have a Flash animation running with sound on my _parent html page. There are html links elsewhere on the page that will open up other sites. I would like these sites to open in a _blank window rather than the _parent, but to make this practical I need the sound in my flash animation to shut off when this happens. (as there is sound on the other pages as well).It would be really cool if the sound on the _parent page would turn back on when the user closes the new window, although this would complicate things as it is possible the user may open multiple windows so the code would have to keep a count of windows opened.
So here I was creating an HTML menupage for a presentation that uses flash animations. I am using this code : <a href="url" target="_blank></a> Now as you seem the target="_blank" opens a new internet explorer window. What I want to do is to open my presentations into a SWF window. Is that possible?
I am trying to make a webpage in flash and I´m almost finished. However my problem is this: I have a page with 6 text links and when clicked I want them to open an html file in a new window. Here is the code
christian.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onMouseClick);function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void{ var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("christian.html"); navigateToURL(request,"_blank");} This works fine, but how to I code the 5 other pages?
My Flash CS3 file displays HTML text, read in from an XML file (within CDATA). The HTML text contains links in the form of <a> (anchor) tags (of course).I am attempting to open a new customized browser window whenever a user clicks on a displayed link. So far, I am able to open a window, but the customizing attributes ("width=600,..." etc.) are ignored.Rather than displaying for you the one dozen variations I have (unsuccessfully) attempted, does anyone have a simple example of something that actually works?
I am working on a little video gallery sort of app. The list of videos to be played is in html. my player is in flash. I need to have my flash player receive the video url and then play it. I can pass vars to flash no prob using swfobject or params. but I need a event listener for to be triggered when a new var is passed.
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); }
What I want is to be able to insert a button into the flash document, and when someone clicks it, to have it open a new window and go to a certain url. To see what I am kind of talking about, go to my website, where I have the flash document without any kind of interactivity. It is the "Connect with TFC" flash file, on the right side of the page.
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]
Is there a way to open a html page in a borderless popup window using AS3. I've found info using AS2 with the "getURL" but nothing with the "new URLRequest" This is an example of what I'm looking to do: [URL]
I have a flash video playing on an html page. Is there a way to turn the sound off of the flash video from a link outside the SWF file (on the html page)? I want to open a new pop-up window with a new flash file and turn off the sounds on video playing on the starting page, with an html or java script link.
I have a component in AIR like so:[code]The 2 alerts both work. however nothing happens when you click the new window link.all 3 links works when in a real browser so I know its ok.Is there just no support for window.open in the AIR HTML component? or is this a bug?Is there a work around?
I can open a new window using window.open() in ExternalInterface.call() but then I want to be able to write contents to the new window. Since, I cannot get the reference of the window back from window.open() call, I am not able to do anything to the window once it is opened.
I do not have any control over the HTML in which my swf is displayed.
Has anyone been in this situation before?
Update: After a few hours of trial and error I found you can get out of this situation by storing your window reference globally and referring to the same global reference whenever you need to access the new window.
I have loaded a HTML file dynamically into Flash. As you know, if I have a link like <a href="URL">TEXT</a> when the users click TEXT the broswer will load URL on the same window. However, what do I do so that the URL can be opened on a new window. This problem only occurs in firefox...

I'm doing a project for my graphic design course in Flash using Action script 3.0, just wondering if it's possible to have a mouse over event that will open another flash window that will play a video.
I am developing an Adobe AIR application which uses both native windows and floating panels. Is is possible to enable the creation of a floating window instead of a native window when a JavaScript window.open() function is called?
It is required that all of the floating windows are contained within one native window, therefore the creation of more native windows is not suitable.
I have used a Custom HTMLHost class in order to enable the creation of a native window but I can't work out a way of creating a MDI window instead. I am using the flexMDI framework for my floating panel interface.
I am trying to get a html popup window to open when my movie hits a certain frame instead of a button. Im using the following code but it uses a button instead of a frame to open the popup.

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.
I am displaying a photo from an external link when called upon from my swf. When the user clicks a button, up pops a corresponding photo in a new browser window. After the photo window has opened, if the user clicks another button the photo browser will update but its no longer in front. I know I need to use the focus() command but cannot figure how to incorporate it into my AS3 code.[code]....
I'm looking for an alternative to using: stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyFunction);
The problem I am encountering is that eventListener above works fine on its own(stand-alone swf), but when loading an .swf externally into another .swf, the listener fails with the following error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
How can you target the event listener when loading as an external .swf differently?
I have a main movie timeline that loads an external swf. When I unload the swf from the main timeline I get an error from this:my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, vidEnd);
is there any way to remove the event listener from the loaded swf from the main timeline?
i have a mp3 playlist which loads externally into my main timeline into an empty container movie clip...When user clicks play button on playlist i want some animation to happen in my main swf... So if i add an Eventlistener on my play_btn... how will Flash understand that button was clicked?
I am using an external 'Animation' class to handle all animations in a project. I would like to register event listeners to listen for tween completion - how do I go about this?
function in Animation class:
Code:
public function SlideOut(target, tx){ var slideTween: TweenMax = new TweenMax(target,.5,{x: tx,y:0,ease:Back.easeIn}); }
[Code].....
Obviously, mySlide.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, transitionComplete) doesn't work. I've tried including the name of the instance of tween too but no dice. I could write my own event within the animation class and dispatch it via another function but there must be a more elegant solution?
I have create a game and added keydown event on Stage but but problem is user need to click on stage then it start capturing keydown event. I want that when game window open after that user don't need to click on flash stage area for unable keydown event..
I'm loading a webpage inside a HTML component in AIR. By default, when something is clicked the next page is loaded inside the HTML component itself. I want the links from that page to open in an external web browser.
I'm building an as3 only web application and want to be able to include external html content within a flash 'window'. In AIR there is the flash.html.HTMLLoader class which makes this possible.
Can anyone point to an example of this being done in a flash as opposed to AIR application?
