Professional :: Not Launching In New Browser Window?
May 18, 2010
I have setup a Flash viewer in a HTML Div container. In the Flash I have put a button which, when clicked, launches a new browser window with another site I've done to appear in. When I test this in Flash its working fine and launches the new window as it should. But when I go into Dreamweaver where I have placed the Swf. in the Div container, I test it locally in a Firefox browser window. The viewer appears and it works correctly, but when I click the button to launch the new browser window it just opens a window with an error msg 'unable to connect, etc'.
I have a preloader that measures the size of the external swf, then goes to a frame with a 'launch site' button on it. When the button is clicked, I'd like a popup window to open that is the exact size of the swf file (1100x800), but I can't figure out how to do that. I know there is some combination of AS3 and javascript required. Has anyone done this? I cannot attach the preloader file that launches the external swf since this is my first post, but have it available if anyone wants it. I have the site online for viewing as it is currently (just loads then opens in same window): [URL]
I am using Flash CS3 and am attempting to simply launch a new window from a .swf ad when clicked. For the publisher I have to use the clickTAG property to track the ad. I have made an invisible button (just the hit state the same size as my stage) and am placing this code on my button on the timeline: on (release) { if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "[URL]") { getURL(clickTAG, "_blank"); }}
There are 2 problems. Firstly, the debugger generates errors: 1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program.
I was following the tutorial on this site for the pop up window and was having some problems. When I click on my link to open the pop up window I also get another window that says [object]. The pop up window also pops up behind my original window.I launching the pop up window from a swf loaded into another swf.
I am working on integrating an air application with a web application and for the most part it works.The only issue that I am having is that when I attempt to pass variables from my launching badge, the application does not load and I get no errors from my swf.
I've got a strange situation; when I run a Flex app from Eclipse (i.e. click run as web app), my remote calls always hang. In Firefox, they return as failed. But when I open up a browser and browse to my .html file in the bin-debug folder, the remote calls work.
I've been attempting to launch a window from an attached movie, I've got the function to work but after it launches, the main window (with the flash file) relocates automatically with the message "[object Window]"
I'm presently using the following coding with the button's AS:
I am using AS3 on a website. Part of the AS has been setup by an external source and I ma now updating and adapting it. My knowledge of AS is limited but slowly expanding.
Currently the site is a main flash file with all the content delivered via a main.as file and then populated via images and videos held in folders on the web.
In one section we have an email link.
I was using Email[url]... and it worked fine. It launched the email program and put the email address in ready to go.
When I added the subject element as below[url]...
it now does what it should with the email program but it also opens a blank webpage.
What can I do to get rid of the blank web page opening?
How do I centre my Flash content horizontally in the browser window? In the Publish Settings I see there are options to align the HTML to Default, Left, Right, Top and Bottom, but no Center. Is there a setting somewhere else? Do I need to write some ActionScript to do this? (If so, what?)
I have a white stage and my background is non-solid/non-uniform. My flash project will be my whole website, therefore when a browser window is larger than my stage, the stage color (white) shows in the background. Its basically a white border on the left and right. I wish I could continue my background image to cover the whole browser window. What I want to do is: if needed (if the browser window is larger than my stage) continue my background on both sides by taking a copy of my background image, flipping it horizontally, and placing it on both sides of my background. If you can imagine it, this will give a more uniform continuation of the background. I'm guessing actionscript would be the best bet?
how to horizontally center my Flash movie in the web browser window after publishing?
A bit of background: I was able to achieve this using <center></center> tags a few years ago. But I have since upgraded to CS5 and I understand that this old method is now obsolete.
I have found a few threads/forums that address this, but I know nothing about HTML and these threads don't help me because they assume you have more knowledge than I possess. When opening up the index.html file in Dreamweaver I can't find anything that looks vaguely familiar to what is being discussed. I have found some code samples using <div></div> tags but have no idea where to place it.
So I will need it explained to me in a step by step fashion, including which file I need to fix and what program I should use. Code samples will be very welcome if you can tell me exactly where it goes.
Task of my code that movieclip added on stage, change its size - height when change size of browsers (player) window thus height movieclip = height browsers(player) window.
That is my code: package {import flash.display.*; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.StageAlign; import flash.display.StageScaleMode; import flash.events.Event; [Code] .....
In the issue MovieClip menubg added on stage but when I change size of window I get error: TypeError: Error #1009: It is not possible to cause property or a method referring to object "null".at ZhMenu/onResize() And menubg dont change its size of course.
Im interested in making something similar as here [URL] As you can see if button was pressed your browser window was scrolled down to the chosen word.How to do that?How that script should look? What action script use, any example projects or tutorials?
I downloded and installed Trial version of Adobe Flash CS5 but when I try to launch it, it just does not launch. I don't get any error messages or any pop up.
Hello Every Body. I have a problem launching flash cs5 and cs5.5 on windows vista home premium edition. When i launch it, the register screen appears(the one that tells the trial time left) but the flash main window always stays black (or white)and is not responding. I had it working about one week ago and i can't figure out what is the problem .It tried reinstalling couple of times without succes. I also tried deleting the left flash cs5 program files after uninstall but it didn't work . I would need your advice. Here is the screen as it appears:
I installed Flash CS5 as a Trial and when I tried to launch it the error message appears on the screen:
Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error This application has requested Runtime to terminated it in a unusual way. Please contact the applications support team for more information.
I already tried to re-install Vista again and even tried to install flash in XP with the same unsucess result.
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?
i've made a flash movie in res 600 * 300, now i want to keep this res don't want the user to be able to expand the browser window or change the res or anything how do i do this?
Trying to detect a browser close event and send some data to the database when the user closes the browser window...but can't seem to get it to work.[code]
I am trying to build a flash that auto-adjust its size to the browser window size, while leaving the content of the flash itself top-centered in the screen.I have found this solution [URL].. on How to keep centered stuff in this exact case so i am pretty confident i will be able to adjust that script to do what i want.
Now my problem is that if i put my content inside the movie-clip (centerrectangle) with all the animation require, link and other stuff, the movieclip (center rectangle ) never have the exact same center, thus making the script go wild trying to always adjust the location to the variable size of the movie clip.
I have looked around for this and haven't found a way that clearly explains how to do this. More often than not the button will close the browser window in one but not another browser.
Is the a simple way of closing a browser window in all types of browser ( Or mainly Firefox, IE and safari on both Mac and PC ) with actionscript?

I want to put a movieclip with tools at the bottom of the window in the center with tools icons, it should have fixed posiiton so that user can scroll the main window having it always on prompt. I think I need the browser window size properties to do somenthing as this. Is there a way to get them?
<script>window.resizeTo(350, 500);</script> that is what I did it works but is there anyway I can get rid of the menu bars and scroll for the windowresize?
I'm currently working with a flash movie that opens up an IE browser to an external link.Since I'm working with a presentation that plays automatically after a few seconds and keeps loading new IE browsers with different links, I was wondering if there was a way with AS2, i can have flash close the IE window it opened?
