Can't open browser window from RoboHelp AIR app??!

We've got a RoboHelp course that we're exporting as an AIR app using the Packager and it works great. We've got an embedded flash file that needs to open a website in a browser window, but, currently it will only load the site in a new AIR window...any ideas??

I'm having this same problem also, although you gave me one option in your reply. I can't get the "Allow" button to work either. I upgraded to Adobe Reader 9.2, and then is when I noticed I couldn't bring up the websites that I usually could before. I don't really know what you mean about "Stand Alone Option," but I will try to find out. I also upgraded to Internet Explorer 8, but I'm not sure if this is when the problem started or when I went to Adobe Reader 9.2.
I used to be able to get "Allow" to work if I opened the document in IE8 and not in AR 9.2, but now that won't even work. I did email the author of a PDF document I was in today in the hopes he would have the answer, but I'm not sure if I got his email address right, so time will tell on that issue.
I have a "library" of PDF documents, so I would really like to get this problem fixed. However, I've spent at least two hours on this issue, and I really don't think it has anything to do with Windows Vista incompatibility; I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Adobe Reader, but that doesn't help much given I have emailed support and, of course, have never received an answer.
I do know there are a lot of people that are having this exact same problem, but no one has an answer to it. I've tried to do research on this, but I have a lot of "to do" tasks I need to get done every day, so it's not like I have all the time in the world to try and fix this problem.
I would appreciate hearing from you if you do ever figure this out. My email address is [email address deleted by host] should you find an answer to this very frustrating problem. Warmly, Corinne Larimore [signature deleted by host]

How can I open two windows from one submit?

Is there a way to open two browser windows from one click of a button to submit a form? I have a button on a screen that does some processing of the data and then generates a PDF file with the output. I would also like it to run a report and show the output of that in a separate window. I realize that using regular HTML with a target of "_blank" on the form, you can have the results show in a new window, but how can I launch a second window from a single button click, if possible?
Thanks!

It can be possible using two different popUps instead windows. Onclick on the button just make vissible true of those two popup in the event method, before making visible true, do the business operation to show on the popups. So simple :)
Note: Popup has modal=false attribute

How can I open new window from a link in another window?

Hello everyone!
Can anyone help me with my problem. I need to open a child window from a link in the mother/master window. Actually, the link that would open the child window is directed to a servlet that retrieves data from the database. The data will then be displayed in the child window. I don't how to open a new window with the data retrieve (thru the servlet) displayed in it. I'm using model 2 architecture (Servlet-JSP).
Thank you in advance and more power!

Or you can use something like this,
Click and in your test()
<script language="javascript">function test()
      document.form_name.target="_blank";
      document.form_name.action="/test/servlet/LoginServlet";
      document.form_name.method="post"
      document.form_name.submit();
}</script>
Here "/test" is your application context path.
If you want to open the link in the named window then use,
document.form_name.target="your_own_name";

Opening Browser Window from Hotspot without Browser Toolbars, etc

Hi Guys
Can you help please.
I have a map with some ponds. I've made hotspots for these ponds to open separate pages with some images and info but I really don't need the page to display the toolbars and favorites, etc. I have gone into behaviors and set them to open the browser as I want when I click on the hotspot. Fine. The trouble is it also opens a full browser window as well! Can anyone point me to hoe and where I can set the behaviors so I get only one browser window, without the toolbars, etc?
Thanks & regards,
Graham

Can JavaHelp open Main Window from an HTML Topic?

Hi all,
I am working on opening the main window from an HTML topic. Is it possible to do? Right now, what I can do is to make a link in the html page open the secondary window with navigation pane.
Also, can I set different textColor(param name of object tag)beside the one mentions in the JavaHelp System user's guide?
More question. When I give the textColor as "green" which is the color I can set according to the JavaHelp System user's guide in the object tag, the help system displays different shade of green, lime. I tested this settng in IE/Firefox. It renders a default green which is what I need. How can I make the javahelp renders properly?
Any help would be appreciated,
thanks

Hi Dir-t,
There's no way to create that behavior directly in Catalyst. However, you can do it with a little HTML hacking. You'll want to use the IFRAME tag: http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_iframe.asp
When you publish your project as a SWF, one of the files that is created is an HTML file that wraps your SWF (it's typically called Main.html). You'll want to edit that file.

Opening browser windows from applet

I have 2 questions
1) Does anyone know, what do I have to do to force my java applet to open new browser window with specified url ?
2) Is any java class, which renders HTML files ? I'm trying to open some document in frame inside applet and I don't know if i have to write this renderer by myself.

for your second question, I dont know if there is a specific HTML class but SAXParser makes reading xml very easy and you probably should have much trouble writing a class to read html.

Opening browser window from Java Swing

Hi
I am trying to open
1) a word document on the click of a button from a Java-Swing based application running only on windows based system.
Currently the code uses 'rundll' and calls 'a.doc'
it requires that the application be installed and run only from a specific location in the windows' system.
i would like to modify the code in one of the following ways
1) open the word doc irrespective of its location and that of the executable jar which is trying to open this file
2) upload the word document to a website and direct the application to open that webpage on button click, etc
i believe that the latter may be simple but i do not have any idea about how to go about it
i would appreciate some guidance about it.

Can't open finder window from dock

I have pinned my Applications folder to the dock, and when I click on it it automatically comes up as a grid. When I click and hold the folder it gives me four view options: Automatic (selected), List, Grid, Fan. I do not want any of these - all I want is for it to open in a finder window when I click on it. I am pretty sure I used to be able to do this in 10.1, why can I not do it in 10.5?

There is a trick to doing this -
In Finder, right click Applications and create an alias.
Drag the Alias into the dock.
That should do what you are looking to do.

How to open browser window from standalone Java Application???

Is it possible to start Internet Explorer from non-applet application?

Something like that could maybe help:
Runtime.getRuntime.exec("iexplore http://www.google.com");
but it's not platform independent + I couldn't let it work in that way. It only worked with Runtime.getRuntime.exec("c:\\windows\\....\\iexplore.exe http://www.google.com");
But it's surely not platform independent.
So the answer is in fact 'I don't know'.
And if you ask why am I writing all that then, the answer is 'I don't know' too.
And if you ask why...

Open browser window behavior in Mac not working right

I am simply selecting my text in my html document and then selecting "Open Browser Window" from the Behaviors panel. I then put in the info for the file I want it to open along with the size, etc...
When I test it in the browser (Safari) the link works but the rollover features don't show ... it doesn't show as a link in the browser window. I followed the tutorial exactly and the instructor's browser showed the link as a rollover. It's driving me a bit crazy.
I'm using CS5 on the latest version on Mac OS (Snow Leopard).
I can put up an example if needed.
Thanks so much for any assistance.

How can I open a new browser window from UIX?

I need to open a new browser window from an event handler. How that can be done? HELP!
Thanks!
Martin Patrici

HTML doesn't really let you do this on the server side; the client is in charge
of creating new windows, not the server.
If you know that clicking a certain link/button, etc. will always raise a new window,
then you should use Javascript or "targetFrame" accordingly.
If the decision will only be made on the server side, then you could reload the current
window, only this time use an "onLoad" on the <body> to raise a window.

HTML window in AIR app can't open new window

Hi, By allowing HTML content to be displayed inside our AIR app it's possible for our partner organization to write their own custom features hosted on HTML pages at their site, but for their content to appear integrated seamlessly within our AIR app's container so that it looks like it belongs there...
We've successfully got an HTML window within our AIR app that navigates to content in a sub-folder on a web-hosted domain. Content displays correctly and hyperlinks function within the HTML window as we'd expect apart from three scenarios that appear to be manifestations of the same problem:
A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to a PDF stored on the web server has no action
A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to a video file stored on the web server has no action
A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to another site (target="_blank" parameter) has no action
All three hyperlink scenarios work as we'd wish if we navigate to the page in a standard browser.
How can we code the HTML so that we can display selected content in an HTML window inside the AIR app; but have selected hyperlinks invoke the user's standard web browser, or launch Adobe Reader, or play a video file etc?
Note, we understand how to do those things within AIR itself, but can't figure out how to achieve this from inside the HTML window in the app.

Hello,
As to "_blank" links:
this is long-standing lacking feature - as there is no introspection of event of such type - so it goes and could not be prevented. One could either handle all navigation with system browser (all links open in system external browser) or handle them in embedded browser - similar issue is bugging people using phoneGab with jQueryMobile - application eats all external links or none at all). There are solution for that including runtime introspection of DOM object to retrieve all anchor (a) tags in rendered document and attach custom click handler via host object like on complete:
var document:Object = html.htmlLoader.window.document;
if(!document && !document.hasOwnProperty("getElementsByTagName")) return;
var linksArray:Object = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
if(!linksArray) return;
var a:Object = null;
for(var i:Number = 0; i < linksArray.length; i++)
     a = linksArray[i];
     if(a)
          a.onclick = function(event:Object):Boolean
               if(event.target.hasOwnProperty("href") && event.target.hasOwnProperty("target"))
                    if(event.target.target != "_blank") return true;
                    flash.net.navigateToURL(new URLRequest(event.target.href));
               return false;
but if you have control on what content is provided you could take care of handling links depending on runtime feature detection that way in javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
     function handleClick(a)
          if(!window.runtime) return true;
          if(a.hasAttribute("target") && a.getAttribute("target") == "_blank")
               var href = a.getAttribute("href");
               var req = new window.runtime.flash.net.URLRequest(href);
               if(req) window.runtime.flash.net.navigateToURL(req);
          return false;
</script>
<a     href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/" target="_blank" onclick="handleClick(this);">BBC</a>
<br />
<a href="http://www.google.com/" onclick="handleClick(this);">Google</a>
(above could be scripted globally with help of jQuery for example for all links without much coding).
In 2.7 there is new event introduced to help with introspection so one could prevent event if link is internal and do whatever is expected in application:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/File.h tml
If you post some details on how PDF and video content is expected to be shown in html I'm sure someone would share some hints as well,
