changing url of master browser & closing animation widow

[Bassbug]

We have knocked up a Flash animation

http://www.alphastate.co.uk/hug

and need to get a button to close the animation window and open the next url in the (master) browser from which the animation was launched.

Also, how do we get the necessary code into place?

Can anyone give us a steer here?

Hey Bassbug,


To open the popup, and change the url of the original window use the folllowing:

Within the original window:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;><!--
function newWindow(file,window) {
    msgWindow=open(file,window,'resizable=no,width=200,height=200');
    if (msgWindow.opener == null) msgWindow.opener = self;
}
//--></script>

<form>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Open New Window&quot; onClick=&quot;newWindow('a.html','window2')&quot;>
</form>

Within the new window:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;><!--
function load(file,target) {
    if (target != '')
        target.window.location.href = file;
    else
        window.location.href = file;
}
//--></script>

<a href=&quot;javascript:load('b.html',top.opener)&quot;>load document into opener</a>
<p>
<a href=&quot;javascript:load('b.html','')&quot;>load document</a>

This will close your pop-up window:

on (release) {
getURL("javascript:window.close"
}


The above has text links and some other options in there. Fool around with it and you should get it going. If you can't post again with any problems.

Hope This Helps! Lumstar
