help with a pop up window

[tenshigaka]

Hey...I'm trying to put in a pop up to a main page in a flash movie
the pop up needs to be a borderless window width=650, heigth=800. I've tried to use the scripts posted on the board and everytime it comes up as an error

[neederofhelp]

not sure what you mean:

What I got was, you're trying to have YOUR flash movie pop-up a new window. Is that right? If so... here are the steps:

make an 'Actions' element some where in your movie

click on 'Add new Action' and then 'IE Command'

pull down the menu that comes up. Click on 'Other...'

go to 'http://deadyeti.com/blanius/popcoder2/popcode2.html'

and use Bret's Pop-Up coder to make your window.

Sorry about how cryptic this is but I have to go so I can't take time to make it better! I might be able to make it for you if I have time.

I'm trying to have a button in a flash movie that when you click it it opens a borderless pop up window...I got the coding done, but now when you click the link 2 windows pop up, the right one and a second that is blank except for the word [object]
code used:
javascript:NewWindow=window.open('http://www.miseriacantare.com/index2.html','newWin','width=800,height=650,left=1 00,top=100,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=auto, status=no,resizable=no,fullscreen=no'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);

[neederofhelp]

you know, you don't want a space in between java and script. here try this: (don't know if it'll work)


javascript:NewWindow=window.open('http://www.miseriacantare.com/index2. html','newWin','width=800,height=650,left=100,top=
100,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=auto,status=
no,resizable=no,fullscreen=no'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);

it desn't have a space in my code...I don't know why it put it in there when I copy/pasted it
I tried the script and it appears to be the same that I used bcause the second window still pops up

[neederofhelp]

go to bret's pop-up code generator. It'll help:

[tenshigaka]

it still launches the additional window

[neederofhelp]

send me the file. I'll see what i can do. (Just attach it to the forum.)

Does version 6 have a wizard to create a borderless popup? Here is an example - please click on "Enter."

Sample

How do you build this?

Regards,

Rick

go to bret's pop-up code generator. It'll help:

http://deadyeti.com/blanius/popcoder2/popcode2.html

That is a very old link!

It's still available at http://bretlanius.com/flash/popcode2.html

[blanius]

javascript:newWindow=window.open('index2. html','newWindow','width=800,height=650,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,toolbar=no,resizable=no');newWindow.focus();screen_height = window.screen.availHeight; screen_width = window.screen.availWidth; left_point = parseInt(screen_width/2)-(800/2); top_point = parseInt(screen_height/2)-(650/2); setTimeout('newWindow.moveTo(left_point,top_point)',100);void(0);

Is is what popupcoder generated for you

[rblanc]

Is this script placed in the Starting Script?

Rick

[rblanc]

I can not get the popup or a javascript borderless window to display. I was able to gererate the code from the code generator. I placed the code in the "Starting Script."

Rick

[blanius]

you can put it whereever you need it must go in a IE Action or used with getURL in a script

So if using it in starting script use it like this

getURL("javascript:......");

[rblanc]

Hi Bret,

Thank you for your assistance. I am able to call the popup using the mouse event wizard like "on_release" but I am not having success on using the getURL function. This is what I placed in the Starting Script. I am inclosing the javascript in "( )"

getURL (javascript:mywindow=window.open('http://www.eiproject.net/elearn/product_rev/screen_capture/spx/spx_presents.html','mywindow','width=550,height=65 0,directories=no,location=yes,menubar=no,scrollbar s=yes,status=yes,toolbar=yes,resizable=yes');mywin dow.focus();screen_height = window.screen.availHeight; screen_width = window.screen.availWidth; left_point = parseInt(screen_width/2)-(550/2); top_point = parseInt(screen_height/2)-(650/2); setTimeout('mywindow.moveTo(left_point,top_point)' ,100);void(0));

[blanius]

the whole javascript thing needs to be in quotes as if it where a URL

[rblanc]

The following code in quotes does not work when placed within the Starting Script however, it works when used as a linked item (of course the getURL is omitted).

getURL "javascript:mywindow=window.open('http://www.eiproject.net/elearn/product_rev/screen_capture/spx/spx_presents.html','mywindow','width=550,height=65 0,directories=no,location=yes,menubar=no,scrollbar s=yes,status=yes,toolbar=yes,resizable=yes');mywin dow.focus();screen_height = window.screen.availHeight; screen_width = window.screen.availWidth; left_point = parseInt(screen_width/2)-(550/2); top_point = parseInt(screen_height/2)-(650/2); setTimeout('mywindow.moveTo(left_point,top_point)' ,100);void(0);"

[blanius]

getURL("javascript:mywindow=window.open('http://www.eiproject.net/elearn/product_rev/screen_capture/spx/spx_presents.html','mywindow','width=550,height=65 0,directories=no,location=yes,menubar=no,scrollbar s=yes,status=yes,toolbar=yes,resizable=yes');mywin dow.focus();screen_height = window.screen.availHeight; screen_width = window.screen.availWidth; left_point = parseInt(screen_width/2)-(550/2); top_point = parseInt(screen_height/2)-(650/2); setTimeout('mywindow.moveTo(left_point,top_point)' ,100);void(0);")

[rblanc]

Hi Bret,

Sorry for not grasping this. I copied and paste your javascript into the Starting Scirpt then generated the file and then clicked on the broswer icon (IE). and there still is no borderless browser window.

What am I doing wrong? I can generate a javascript window in my html editor, in a menu item within 3DFA but not in the Starting Script.

When I get 3dfa R6 reinstalled I'll take another look. Right now I don't have 3dfa installed on any computers.
