I use to use: getURL("main.html", "_self"); to forward after my intro to my main html, now flash CS4 says its not supported? I have been looking online...looks like the new script is: url request? I see parts of pieces of what I need, but I have yet to see the complete correct example. Can someone please post the script to forward my intro to my index page. I would like index to open in the same window (_self).
View 8 RepliesI finally got my buttons to work, but now I need to get them to open in the same window. As of now each button opens a separate new window.

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]
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.
What i want to do is open a new browser window, (preferably a pop-up window) and have it display results based on POST data sent from flash. Like a form that targets _blank or something.

View 3 RepliesI have a flash slide on my site. The slide has next and previous buttons to either move to the next slide or the previous slide. Each slide is only an image. When you click a particular image it takes you to the page specific to the image you clicked.
My issue is this: When you click the image, it opens the page in a new window. I would like to have the window open in the same window, but having issues figuring out how to do it.
The flash is controled by an image.xml script. I've added target= "_blank" to the xml, but the URLs are still opening in a seperate window. I didnt create the flash, is it possible the issues lies within the .fla file?
Below is a sample of images.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<images>
<pic>
<image>imagesimage.jpg</image>

I'm trying to get the link to open in the same window instead of a new window, it's currently set to _blank. I tried _top, _self, _parent. When it's set to anything other than _blank the link doesn't work.

I'm running an online game site, and a few websites are really bad about embedding some of my games and stealing bandwidth.
To combat this, I replaced the original files with super-simple .swf files that redirected back to my own websites -- thus stealing back the traffic that they were stealing from me.
The problem came later when something changed with the new Flash player, and new windows no longer opened. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get new windows to open. I've tried a few different approaches, but nothing appears to work.
So what I'm wondering is, can this even be done anymore -- where I can switch out a .swf that's being leeched with one that opens a window to my own site?
Looking for the simplest way to open a URL in a new window from Flash using AS3-CS3

how i can open new window
I am building a kiosk app in flash and need to open browser windows whenever there is a URL link. The problem is that when the browser window opens, the fullscreen flash becomes a resizable window and the user has to close the window and open the flash app again to make it full screen again. So i'm wondering if there's any way I can open a browser window within the flash app sort of like an iframe or lightbox pop up? I've heard of this Native Window thing but I'm not sure what that is.
View 1 RepliesI made a flash website in AS3. Normally, when an user enters a webaddress, the index.html is opened. Now I want to open the index.swf file INSTEAD of the index.html. I DONT want to create a html document that includes the swf file, I just want the swf file to play on its own. A long time ago I red an article about creating an index.php file, with a little piece of code that does this for me, but I cannot find this code anymore. Someone knows what to do?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to reproduce a POST request that was captured from WireShark using PHP. This POST request was sent by a Flash (.swf) object, so it's a little bit complicated in configuring the header.It does not print out anything in the end, so there must be something wrong with PHP code that I could not see.Here is what WireShark captured:
POST /engine/ HTTP/1.1
Host: abcdef.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8[code]....
The result is a blank page instead of response from server.
how do I open an swf in its own window outside the flash using button?

I am trying to open a new browser window from within my Flash app. To do this, I am using the line:[URL]..The problem is that when I test the code from in Flash CS4 nothing happens! It's like the line of code isn't there. But when I manually open the .html file which Flash CS4 generated that embeds my .swf, then the Flash app opens in my browser and promptly opens a new window to yahoo juat like it should, so it does not seem to be an AS3 syntax issue. I just got a new computer yesterday, with a fresh install of Flash CS4. I do not have this problem on my old computer. The old computer runs the code perfectly. Could there be some weird default security settings at work here in Flash CS4?
Does anyone have any experience with this sort of problem, or any clue what might be happening?
Is there a way to open a new window from Flash as a pop-up (i.e. a specific size without toolbars etc.). The new window needs to hold some flash movies in AS3 which arn't compatible with the AS2 parent movie.
View 3 RepliesWebwasp has got this rather cool looking script posted that is supposed to allow you to open a browser window, AND allow you to define its width, height, etc -- all from Flash!! It's posted here: [URL] The problem is, I can't get the darn thing to work! They've got an example swf posted on that page, and there is the option to download the source...but only if you PAY! All the code is there, which I tried to copy and paste into my own file and publish, but it don't work! (And yes, I did publish it as an html file and view it in the browser, and yes, I did have pop1.htm and pop2.htm files for Flash to open!)

The problem aren't about html, php or webdesign itself I believe, but the problem is the flash menu. The menu is coded to open the buttons in the same window, but it doesn't, it opens the links in a new tab/window which is very annoying, I've tried to fix it by adding "_self" to the flash file, but it doesn't work at all now, it doesn't go anywhere when I press on the menu!
Code:
public function mouse_Down(e:Event):void {
trace(e.currentTarget.href);

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've no idea how to fix this right now, I've tried googling but I only found as2 ways or changing the "_self" to '_self', but that doesn't work either. I got another site that is my personal portfolio (forte is more of a schoolproject) and I tried thesame thing out there, and it worked! So I thought that maybe surftown (that is forte's server provider) has something against this or something, I dunno.
I read this: "JavaScript is interpreted by the browser, so whenever you call JavaScript code from the Flash movie you'll have to embed the movie into a HTML document first."
What do you do if your document doesn't have a html file and you need to open a popup window from flash? My document is .exe ..
In Flex Air app, how do you open a window behind an active one?
I tried following and i can't seem to get it to work
[Code]...
With this code, I would expect window1 to open behind the main app window and, in 3 seconds, window2 would open behind window1. But if you execute this, window1 will open on top of the main window and window2 will open on top of window1 and the main app will retain focus. This seems like a bug in the Flex. If so is there any workaround for this problem?

It shows the picture in full size with a close-able x in the corner. Is that possible? I'd do it in the flash movie, however some of the pictures are bigger than the movie itself (it's a style and it looks good) just that...
