Opening new windows in Flash

[rtbenson]

Hello,

I am using Flash MX (not 2004).

I need to open a new window from flash that is 300px long, and 300px wide. I have tried using
getURL("javascript:window.open(...)","_self")
, but that gives me a page that says "object", and then it opens the window. See it in action at www.yeahitis.com/test.swf How can I make it so it does not open the "object" window?

Thanks,
Brendan Benson

Visit http://www.flash-db.com/PopUp/ , and create the popup with the features you want or don't want. Generate the code, and then simply copy & paste the generated code on your Flash button.

You'll notice a void(0); in there, that should solve your problem.

Thank you very much. That solved an annoying problem.

Use this:
getURL ("javascript:wnd=window.open(\"MyPage.html\",\"MyP age\",'width=300,height=300,scrollbars=no,resizabl e=no');wnd.focus();void(0);");

Note: Don't forget to test movie(swf) outside Flash. Also create and place the same folder page "MyPage.html".

A little late there Maestro!
And you should visit that link of mine, would spare you from escaping... (\"MyPage.html\",\"MyPage\"...

Life goes too fast.

Do You mean replace \"MyPage.html\" with 'MyPage.html'? I have known it. Sometimes I like to use \" instead of '.
