open windows from flash (using getURL:('javascript:.....') - HELP ME -:)

**ptitbob** · 30 November 2000, 02:22 AM

I would like to open a html window form Flash which would have the size I want (using javascript)
Flash file is called sitenadia.swf and is integrated in my html file as sitenadia.

Hereafter is my code, can anybody tell me what is wrong? (of course it doesn't work : it open two windows, one of them contains [OBJECT])

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>sitenadia</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#000000" leftmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" topmargin="0">
 <A HREF=contact.htm></A> <A HREF=javascript

penNewWindow('virginie.html','thewin','height=400, width=400,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes')></A>

<OBJECT classid="clsid

27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
ID=sitenadia WIDTH=640 HEIGHT=480 name="sitenadia">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="sitenadia.swf">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#000000>
<EMBED src="sitenadia.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#000000 WIDTH=640 HEIGHT=480 swLiveConnect=true NAME=sitenadia TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" ></EMBED>
</OBJECT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Where's your function "OpenNewWindow"? It's not defined anywhere. You can change that to window.open(...) and it should work. Alternately, check some of the earlier posts I made in responses to the same questions, like the one posted by Urban Fox titled "Java Script in Flash".

Use this script in your HTML code (this is taken directly from Steve's earlier post), and then in your flash movie, use "getURL(javascript:launchwin('virginie.html', 'thewin'))

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> var javascript_version = 1.0;</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript1.1"> javascript_version = 1.1;</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

var newwin;

function launchwin(winurl,winname)
{
//This launches a new window and then
//focuses it if window.focus() is supported.
newwin = window.open(winurl,winname,'height=400, width=400, toolbar=no, scrollbars=yes');

if(javascript_version > 1.0)
{
//delay a bit here because IE4 encounters errors
//when trying to focus a recently opened window
setTimeout('newwin.focus();',250);
}
}
</SCRIPT>

If this doesn't work, then send your .fla to pknair@alumni.uwaterloo.ca and I'll have a look to see what's wrong.
