SUBSTITUTE (new) window

[aribert888]

Out of a Flash menu I am opening a html popup by pressing the button 'example1'. No problem.

on(release){
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('example1.htm','name','width=835,height=220,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}

Every time I press a button in the Flash menu a NEW window opens. So in the end 10 windows are open. I rather want that the previous window is closed and a new window is opened. With other words: the previous window should be substituted.

How can I do THAT?

Thanks a lot for thinking and helping!

Define NewWindow as a global variable somewhere: NewWindow = '';

Then add the following at the start of your onclick code:

if(NewWindow.location)NewWindow.close();

That should about do it. Post back here if you get into trouble with it.

Note: the definition of NewWindow is two single quotes, not one double quote. It could be: NewWindow = ""; -- hope that makes sense.

Thank you for your help.

I just found out: If I keep the same name where in my script I had put 'example1' - no new window will open.
But as it does not work really smooth I will try to follow your advice.
