Linking Button To HTML URL Opening In Same Window?
Jun 8, 2009
So the following code allows us to open an HTML link with the click of a button
function callLink(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/");[code].......
The problem is that this always opens the link in a new window. So what if I want it to open in the same window? Changing the line to:
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http:url...); results in a compiler error.I am embedding this swf on a web page of my own, so there are no security concerns regarding giving flash access.

I have a website where my Home, About, Work and Contact pages are on four different frames on the time line. Once you click on the Work link from the opening Home page, your brought to the second frame where a little tween brings a bunch of thumbnails into view. When you click on the thumbnails, it brings you out of the .swf and into a new HTML page. The problem is getting back to the Work page in the .swf with out being brought to the opening Home page. I have used an anchor on the time line and changing my publish settings to HTML with anchors, and they do work! But, its opening my .swf in the Work frame and running through the movie back to the Home. Iv tried putting a stop(); on the Work frame, which does stop it but its a dead page, my tweens, buttons, everything is frozen.

But it keeps opening the link in a new window, how do I stop it from doing that so it opens in the same window the swf will be in? Where do I add target=_self?

This post has been edited to clarify, so that should explain the answer above.I am sure this topic has been covered a million times, but for the life of me, I have been searching the internet for hours trying to find a simple solution to this problem. I am using Flash Cs4 with actionscript 3 and flash player 10 for publish settings. I have a button that I want to open a new webpage. When the button is pressed, I want the window to open so the user can see the original webpage they were on before, and I dont want the original webpage to close. In other words, I want to open a new webpage without closing the original webpage, and allow the user to see both webpages, at the same time doing away with the back button. Is this possible? Here is the script I am using. It is placed on a seperate layer called actions. :
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("https://mycw3.eclinicalweb.com/cent/jsp/login.jsp"));
}
It does allow me to open the window seperately as long as I am testing the movie in Flash, but when I publish the movie and imbed in into a Dreamweaver Html document (Xhtml), you have to use the back button to go back to the original page. I know this might not be the best way to navigate but the person I am doing this page for wants it this way only.

Is it possible to open a cross domain pop up window from a flash button. Let's say something like this:
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('[URL]','newWin','width=800,height=650,left=60,top=60,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=no,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}
Is a button hosted in domain that links to a secure page in link. Will it work or will it get blocked by browsers or internal flash restrictions?

- I made a flash-based website using Flash CS3 and then embedded the file into a blank html page with Dreamweaver cs3.-All my buttons, linking, and content were made in Adobe Flash CS3 using ActionScript 2.0 (AS2).The issue I am encountering is that when i click on some buttons that have get URL codes, they will not load the html files assigned to the As2 code of the button. The html files are supposed to load in a separate browser window for each html page assigned to each button. The html files are located within subfolders in my Main Site Root Folder.All my AS2 code is Object-based; meaning I applied it directly to my button symbols.

I have been customizing a Flash template and I'm almost done... my issue is that I would like one of the buttons to open up a NEW window (ideally with no address bar but with a scrollbar) when a user clicks the guestbook button. Right now it opens in the same window and the user then clicks a button on that page to return to the site, but that is sloppy because the music starts all over again, etc.[URL]

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.

I've got a .fla file, with 3 scenes in it. In the 3rd scene, there's a button which upon clicking it, should open a new window showing a external .swf file. Both files are placed in the same folder.
Now.. I'm able to open the .swf file in a browser, but what im trying to do, is open it in flash player. How the *#@%*#@ am i supposed to that? :P
Oh yeah, i should probably mention that the external .swf file also has mulitple scenes and buttons. And both "movies" should still be interactable when i open the new window.

I have l a flash file in my pages that links to other pages within my web site but when clicked they automatically open in another window. How can I link them without opening a new window as would happen with a normal web page link?
Here is my current Action Script code: index.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,indexbuttondown);
function indexbuttondown(event:MouseEvent):void {
var bbcURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("index.html");
navigateToURL(bbcURL);

I'm primarily an HTML/CSS girl. I'm pretty new to Flash, and until recently have only worked from the timeline without using any action script other than stop(); and simple goto commands like gotoAndPlay(49);
This week, I needed a nav button to take the user into the site from the Flash intro; it's live at [URL]
Flash CS4, Action Script 3. Since I don't write Action Script - yet - and needed the link in a hurry, I Googled for the code. As you can see, it works fine, but the site opens in a new window, and I don't want it to do that, I want it in the same window.
The code is as follows:
clickToEnter.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.deppimpersonator.com/cms"));
}
I thought it might be the use of "new" in front of URLRequest, but of course when I took that out the link didn't work at all.
Blind experimentation produced two attempts that simply broke the link (don't laugh ):
[Code]...
What do I need to add (or remove) from this code? And is this the most efficient way to code an internal link?
In case this is browser-specific: I've only tested this in the latest versions of Firefox and Safari for Mac, OS X 10.6.2 (Snowleopard). It's the same in both browsers.

I'm working on a portfolio in Flash CS3 and AS3. I'm trying to avoid doing the whole thing in Flash, so the home page is a CSS/HTML header page that will house a looping flash piece underneath the header, and the inner portfolio will be flash pieces brought into the same CSS header framework.I'd like to know what kind of code I need to use in the portolio flash navigation so that the "home" link will open the CSS/HTML home page in its same window, rather than launching another window. Is this something that can be done using AS3, or do I need javascrpt as well?

I have this thing that sends variables to a php-file. The code snippet looks like this:
Code:
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("kampanjerbjudande/process_variables.php");
myURLRequest.data = myVariables;
navigateToURL(myURLRequest, '_blank');
Now, the thing is this opens the process_variables.php in a new window/tab. I want to send the variables to the file to be processed without "visibly" opening the file in a window. Do you know what I mean?
