Flash Popup Window

Hey, I want to make a flash popup window that opens up
another frame on the click of a button. I want the window to be a
custom size and custom options like a javascript popup window. I
tried a few things with javascript but none of them worked. I dont
want to have to edit the html, i want to just do this in
actionscript.
Somthing like this for example.
Thanks!

Popup windows flash open then closed while watching videos or visitng websites.

It seems to happen more often when I am watching a video on Youtube or Hulu.
The video is playing normally and all of a sudden what looks like a pop up window opens and immediately closes. Sometimes you can see what looks like a person or an ad, but only for a fraction of a second and then it's gone. This will happen over and over again and it's super irritating. The windows seem to be of all sizes, they pop up in different parts of the screen and the frequency changes so that sometimes this happens a lot and other times there are fewer.
I've scanned for viruses with several programs, Avast and Trendmicro HouseCall.
OS is Windows 7
Firefox and Flashplayer are all up to date.
I've also scanned for Malware and Spyware.
I have even turned off Firefox's popup blocker so I might see where these windows are coming from, but no popup ads ever open it just keeps flashing these windows open and immediatly closed.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.

Popup window with javascript in flash

Hi everyone ;)
I wonder if there´s available some code/tutorial which
would make a "javascript call" and pop up what could bring some
content into a new window in actionscript 3. I have a actionscript
2 code for popup window but obviously it´s not working on my
website project because of the wrong flash type :| So do you know
how to make these kinds of pop up windows in as3?
http://flashden.net/files/42875/index.html

i am now down to only 1 error. How the script looks and the
only error generated are below.
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:newWindow=
window.open('
http://websitemedia.net/playground/ferrioni/sandbox/ferrioniaddress.html','popper1',
'width=425,height=300,scrollbars,resizable');
newWindow.focus(); void(0);");
error below:
**Error** Symbol=contact, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 5:
String literal was not properly terminated
newWindow.focus(); void(0);");

Making a popup window within flash as3

Hello Flash people, I suspect this is an extremely easy and simple question from a beginner...
I need to make a pop up window effect within a flash movieclip.
I read another discussion where someone got the following advice...
1. Dec 14, 2009 3:27 AM in response to: courtispeep
Re: simple pop-up with AS3? ...not using javascript
So you want it in actionscript 3?
There are several ways to do it.
One is to pull it out of the library the second is to place it on stage, set it visible = false via actionscript and set it visible = true when you click the button.
popUp.visible = false;
showBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ShowPopUP);
function ShowPopUp(e:MouseEvent) {
popUp.visible = true;
popUp.hideBtn.addEventListener(MousEvent.CLICK, HidePopUp);
function HidePopUp(e:MouseEvent) {
e.currentTarget.parent.visible = false;
This should work if you have the popUp placed on stage and you have, inside it, a button with an instance name "hideBtn". Also, of course you should name you popup window "popUp" and the trigger button "showBtn".
So I tried this and but have the following compiler error...
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable ShowPopUP is not defined.
at default_fla::MainTimeline/default_fla::frame1()
So I guess the author of this answer assumed the reader knew how to define the variables before inserting this code.
But I do not know how. can someone explain this to me?
Thank you very much in advance..

The problem may just be related to the following typo since the variable mentioned bythe error is not a variable, but the name of a function... note the spelling difference and fix it
showBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ShowPopUP);
function ShowPopUp

Popup windows in front of fullscreen flash - help

hi,
I have and swf embedded into an aspx web page. I am using ExternalInterface.call to open windows using javascript
Eeverthing is working fine when stage.displayState = "normal"
However, all popup windows are diplaying behind the flash when stage.displayState = "fullScreen";
Does full screen mode allow the popup windows to be displayed just like normal mode? if so, what is the trick?

I am making the following call in flash when the user clicks on a button
if (ExternalInterface.available)
ExternalInterface.call("puIfno");
puInfo is a Javascript function in my aspx web page, the function shows an embedded pop up object
Here is the Javascript function
function puInfo() {
parent.pu.Show();
Note: pu is an aspx popup object that is a aprt of my web site
This all works fine when the flash is in normal mode but when in fullscreen mode all popup windows are showing behind the flash instead
I even tried using the window.open function in my Javascript instead and that caused the fullscren to go to normal
any help will be greatly apreciated
Thanks

Whats the current deal with popup windows in flash?

Hi There,
whats the current deal with popup windows in flash? I'm
trying to include popup windows in a site, and with IE7 (or
whatever the newest version of IE is ..the firefox lookalike) the
popups are not working at all, I have gone out a gotten other
sample popup scripts and I encountering the same problem, which is
the popups aren't working at all?
Is this a problem with just IE7 or am i completely missing
out on something here?
any ideas would be really appreciated! or if anyone has any
scripts for sizeable popup windows that work on IE7 i would really
appreciate it. thanks
:}

well i have used a couple of different attempts. I have used
code generated by this:
http://www.flash-db.com/PopUp/
on (release) {
getURL
("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('pants.html','newWin','width=200,height=50,left=0,top= 0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');
void(0);");
I have also tried a couple of other tutorials from
http://www.kirupa.com
link;
http://www.kirupa.com/kirupa.htm'
and I used the javascript supplied and had no luck (I
embedded the html etc) ... i have tried about 5 other tutorials and
I've got to the point where I'm wondering is the problem based
around by browser, I only using IE7 and have no ther browser. I'm
using FlashMX 2004. all the example files .fla and swfs i have
downloaded aren't working either so I'm totaly scartching my head
at this point...
any ideas where i'm going wrong here? any help very much
appreciated

Can't get popup window to work, could use code help.

This is the first time I've tried to open a popup window in
flash, and I can't get it to work. The site I'm building has the
navigation buttons contained in an animated movie clip. All of the
navigation buttons work fine. But there's a link that the company
wants me to add that opens a window to another site who hosts a
video commercial for the company (it has to be a link to the other
site, it can't be added directly to the customers site).
The link the other company sent me is for javascript (I'll
include it in the attached code), and the code works great if I
just insert the javascript in the html. But I wanted to try and get
the link in the Flash menu. I've tried several versions of the
code, from applying it directly to the button to naming an instance
of it and attaching the actionscript in the movie clip. When I'm
done, I get two different problems. On my XP machine, I get a
warning error about the flash trying to open something to another
server. On my Vista machine, nothing happens at all.
Anyway, I'm including the original javascript and several
versions of the actionscript I've tried (with the actual site
information replaced with "fakeurl.com", wasn't sure how these
forums felt about including site info). Any help at all would be
greatly appreciated. I've searched and searched for about a week,
and I'm tempted to just do away with the Flash button and use a
cheesy javascript button for this one link.
Thanks!

Select your text that you want to act as a trigger to close the window,
just as if you were going to create a link.
Then paste the following line of code into the link Inspector:
javascript:self.close();
That should do the trick.

Do you really want to open a new window, or do you just want
to show a hidden layer that looks like a pop-up?

Need help with as3 for popup window

I am nearing the end of the semester in my Flash Animation class. I have learned very simple AS3 things, code snippets etc. I am trying to find the actionscript for coding a very simple popup window, but have not found a clue.
Here's what I want to do...I have a white box with some type on the stage. When a person clicks on the white box, I want a popup to open that is larger, that will contain the same type but larger. That box will have an x so it can be dismissed. I don't want to do this in html, only in Flash CS5. I don't want a browser window, I just want a bigger version of the smaller box. I know how to build both boxes, just don't know how to write the code. I know there will be an on-click mouse event listener, and then I am lost.
Can anyone help with the code I might use? It would be most appreciated.

It would be something along the lines of... (using instance names relative to your description)...
popup.visible = false;
whiteBox.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showPopup);
function showPopup(evt:MouseEvent):void {
popup.visible = true;
popup.popupX.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hidePopup);
function hidePopup(evt:MouseEvent):void {
popup.visible = false;

Popup Window- Button Actionscript

Does anyone have the code that combines actionscript w/ java
in order to create a popup window from a flash button? I couldn't
get this to work- on (release) {
getURL
("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('index.html','newWin','width=400,height=300,left=0,top =0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');
NewWindow.focus();void(0);");

ggshow, I tried your component, but I can't figure out where
to place the
my_btn.onPress = function() {
my_popup.openWindow("
http://www.ggshow.com",
"my_window");
I would be very happy if you, or anyone else could solve this
trivial problem for me
thanks

1. adding a RawText item to your page.
2. binding a attribute of VO to the RawText. (ex: VO Name:TempVO; Attribute name:Script)
3. writing coding in your processFormRequest
am.invoke("showMessage");
4. writing a method in your AM
public void showMessage()
Row row = getTempVO().first();
row.setAttribute("Script", "<script>alert('test');</script>");
}

POPUP WINDOW generation

i'd like to generate a popup window, much like how on apple's
website, the close-up pictures pop up (
http://www.apple.com/keyboard/),
or something similar. basically, i'd like my viewer to be able to
click on a small picture and have a bigger picture pop up in its
own window, w/ a close or X button. is that possible through the
"getURL" action script? i reckon that this AS only applies to URLs.
any direct help or link to a good source site would help.
thanks a million!!!

i always just make mine in flash. create a background that is
the same size as your stage. then turn it into a movieclip with a
blank first frame and a stop. make it like 20 frames. the first 10
for the popup window in animation and 10 for the out.
when a thumbnail is clicked it sets a variable equal to the
link of the image. when the popup gets to frame 10 you have code
there that takes that link and loads the image.
make a close button that goes to the 11 frame and plays.
i usually make the actions layer go like this.
frame 1 = stop();
frame 2 = "in";
frame 10 = stop(); and other code for loading an image.
frame 11 = "out"
frame 20 = nothing, let it loop around to the first frame
where a stop is and it is totally blank.
make sure this is on a layer that is higher than everything
else.

Popup window size problem

Hi,
For some reason, the popup window link in my Flash website
opens up a popup which doesn't behave to the window size rules I
set.
The website is www.caveataudiens.net , click on the 'music'
button, and then on the Jukebox button to see as example.
The Jukebox button has the following actionscript:
on (release) {
//customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = "
http://www.caveataudiens.net/music/mp3player.html";
target_winName = "kirupa";
width = 400;
height = 300;
toolbar = 0;
location = 0;
directories = 0;
status = 0;
menubar = 0;
scrollbars = 1;
resizable = 0;
//sends data back to the function
openWinCentre(address, target_winName, width, height,
toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars,
resizable);
and in my main actionscript layer I have:
stopAllSounds();
forum_btn.onRelease = function() {
getURL("
http://www.flaccidsacks.co.uk/phpBB2/",
"_blank");
music_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("music");
links_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("links");
about_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("about");
news_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("news");
Movieclip.prototype.openWinCentre = function (url, winName,
w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars,
resizable) {
getURL ("javascript:var myWin; if(!myWin ||
myWin.closed){myWin = window.open('" + url + "','" + winName +
"','" + "width=" + w + ",height=" + h + ",toolbar=" + toolbar +
",location=" + location + ",directories=" + directories +
",status=" + status + ",menubar=" + menubar + ",scrollbars=" +
scrollbars + ",resizable=" + resizable +
",top='+((screen.height/2)-(" + h/2 +
"))+',left='+((screen.width/2)-(" + w/2 + "))+'" +
"')}else{myWin.focus();};void(0);");
Can some kind soul help me figure out how to adjust the
window size?
Many thanks
lyle

Any ideas?
When I change the settings for toolbar, status, etc, then the
changes take effect, it seems though only the width and height
don't work for some reason.
I would be very grateful for any suggestions
Thanks
Lyle
