The links I have in my .swf keep opening in new windows/tabs rather than the same one, how can I make it open in the same tab? Here's my actionscript 3 script:

function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_2(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(
new URLRequest("http://www.mediwales.com/index.php?id=6&member=9"), "_self");

I'm working on a site that's intended to display full screen. At present the initial HTML page has a "launch site" link which pops up a fullscreen window (via javascript window.open) with our Flash content.Once in the Flash site, all URLs that point at off-site destinations are set to open in a new window ("_blank" as the target - either an href in text, or via navigateToUrl). In Mac Firefox the new window opens BEHIND the full-screen Flash (as a new tab in my case). In Windows FF and IE, and Mac Safari, the new window pops in front of the fullscreen Flash.Is there a way to make the non-fullscreen window pop in front of the fullscreen Flash? I'm using swfobject 2.1 - perhaps I need to use an externalInterface call...thoughts?

I am currently building a XML gallery. The thumbnails are created inside the FLA file, and it's driven with a XML file. When a thumbnail is clicked, it will bring up the Detail movieclip. And inside the Detail movieclip, I've created some buttons with an external class of "DetailButtons". Inside the DetailButtons class, the buttons dispatch a custom event that the FLA is listening for. The problem is I can't figure out how to have one of the buttons open the corresponding url link in the XML file. I just keep getting the 1069 error.[code]

I'm having trouble making Flash open any links when embedded into my MySpace profile. I'm developing a MySpace profile layout that uses embedded SWF movies in custom created DIVs. Everything was going great. Things were loading into place and I managed to get my homemade Twitter widget to update perfectly using a crossdomain.xml.
The one problem I can't seem to address is the 'opening links' issue. Upon searching for the last couple of days, I came across some articles that claim MySpace blocks "navigateToURL" commands. Also found out a workaround that involves placing a transparent GIF over the area which is supposed to be clickable, but I still have hope that such a basic function as clicking a button within an embedded SWF in MySpace and opening said link can be achieved.
I am using the Combo Box Component.I gave the combo box the instance name myComboBox I added a few labels and web address's[code]...
Does anyone know what causes this and how to stop it from coming up so that the combo box works and takes you to the right web page?
Each page has like the first page "Welcome" followed by a brief paragraph followed by a "read more..." link/button which opens to a small popup window with additional 3-4 paragraphs. So the main page has "WELCOME" > small paragraph > read more button.
Below that has "LATEST WORKS" > small paragraph > read more button
Both of those "read more..." lead to the same popup window but have their own title "Welcome" and "Latest works"(don't know where the mini title file is) but the paragraphs are the same which I don't want. I want each "read more..." to open to its own little popup.
Still learning script but is their anything in the script to change or something on stage? Or just redo everything somehow
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("p1");
} on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("p2");
} on (release) {
_root.popup.gotoAndStop(2);
_root.popup.label.text = i;}
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'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 can't seem to get the buttons I have created in flash to open in the same window.. I've tried
1. leaving it with no target
2. on (release) {
getURL("[URL]");
targetPath("_self")
}
3. on (release) {
getURL("[URL]", "_self");
}
im having no luck with this at all. im building a site for my company, building and selling homes. ive made a website in flash, nothing too complex, ive also made a pdf in indesing, which when published left me put a page turing feature on it, and that pdf was then published as a swf file. its put all the code in for me automatically so the people can now interact and page turn it.i simply want a button/link i can put on my site to open this swf in its own browser window or in a flash player window. this code in previous versions of flash has been easy...on release etc but now with as 3.0 i see people using child, navigatetourl, its so confusing and every example ive found just doesnt seem to work

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 ):

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?

View 14 Repliesis there any way to use the getURL command without it actually opening a new page? What I'm really doing is sending variables to a php page and inserting data into a database, but when i use LoadVars and LoadVars.send it's not workin for some reason. So I tried a simple getURL and that also sends the variables to the page and that works for me, but I don't want the users to see a new window popup or for the one theyre in to go to a new URL...? Maybe I'll post my LoadVars code too just to make sure I did that correctly... but I copied and pasted it from another LoadVars object in the same flash program that is working correctly (both sending AND loading variables)...

I want to open a new window with let's say height 500 and width 600 could i use this in flash so i can open such an window with an html -file in it, i have made a javascript to do this, but could i use this in my actionscript or do I have to work with getURL somehow.
View 3 RepliesI have made an mp3 player which works fine but I have one issue. Currently if you click on the speakers it will open the player in another window. way for the original player to stop playing and then new one which opens to continue playing.
The second player launches via a get url command, so I guess this might not work with what I am trying to achieve.
Here is the link to the file.

The idea is for the original mp3 player to sit on the first page of a website and the second one to float when opened over the other pages the user navigates through.
