I found a tutorial on how to make a popup window in Flash and yet have I got it to work properly. I have tried quite a few ways and just can't seem to get past this problem. The following is something I tried lately, want to see if you guys see what is missing because it is either missing something or it is operater error!
Open New Window - Specific Window Control
In the HTML of the page containing your swf movie, add the following code inside your <head></head> commands:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function popUp()
{
window.open("myurl.html","WindowName","WindowOptions"
;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
Add your URL in place of "myurl.html", add your window name, and window options. Window options control the size and look of your new window. The format is:
'toolbars=1,location=1,....,width=###,height=###'
And your window options are: (1=show, 0=no show)
toolbar - Specifies if the browser's toolbar is displayed or not
location - Specifies if the address bar is displayed or not.
directories - Specifies if the Netscape directory buttons are displayed.
status - Specifies if the browser status bar is displayed or not.
menubar - Specifies if the browser's menu bar is displayed or not.
scrollbars - Specifies if the window will allow scrollbars or not.
resizable - Specifies if the new window is resizable or not.
width=pixels - Specifies the width of the new window.
height=pixels - Specifies the height of the new window.
left=### - Specifies the distance of the window from the screen's left.
top=### - Specifies the distance of the window from the screen's top.
For example, the very upper left corner would be left=0,top=0
In the manner used in the Simple Method above, use the same Actions, but in the Get URL Action add:
javascriptopUp()
So it should look like this:
On (Release)
Get URL ("javascriptopUp() "
End On
You don't need to worry about the _blank command, because that javascript code takes care of that for you.
