Flash website - need link to open in new page

I created my web site in Flash and published it as an HTML file. It's a page that has thumbnails. Clicking on a thumbnail should open a new window to view the full-size version.
When I play a SWF file and click on thumbnails, my project opens in a separate window.
When I open my page (published in Flash as HTML) in Dreamweaver and view it in the browser, when I click on thumbnails, instead of opening a new window full-size version overrides the current window contents -- but there is no "back" tab on the content, and the browser "back" tab takes me to the home page rather than back to the previous window.
How do I make it so that the link opens a new window (that can then be closed after viewing) rather than overriding the contents of the existing window after I publish my page as HTML file?
Thanks for suggestions!

My flash published html file works fine, I cannot open my thumbnails in a separate window when I open my HTML file in the browser from Dreamweaver.
It doesn't even open in the different tab. It opens over my viewing page and I have to click "back" in the browser, but it goes back to the main menu not to previous viewing page.
My thumbnails and links to the full-size files are in a separate XML file.
Thanks again

Clicking on a link to open a new page or tab gives me a blank page.

If I click on a link to open a new page or a new tab, the page that opens is always blank and no address is in the address bar. Also, occasionally, my refresh button is "grayed" out so I can't hit that either. I think this is some sort of security setting blocking it. Can anyone help.

Thanks Jason, I had the same problem and did exactly the steps above. Problem solved! You rock! :)

Link to open on new page

Is there a way to have links from a web page to open on a new page? Right now my links open on the same page so I need to go back to see the original page where the link is.
Thank you.

Publish your website
Visit it
Gets the URL of the page you want to open in an new window.
iWeb :

Link not opening in new page

I have a javascript for an array of rotating logos. Each logo is associated with a link. When you click on the logo, the corporate website linked to the logo opens but it does not open in a new page. How do I get it to open in a new page?
The website link is http://lexedfoundation.org
the code calling the links is
<a href=" " onClick="clickLink(); return false;" onMouseOver="descript(); return true;" onMouseOut="window.status=' ' " target="_blank"><img src="images/corp.gif" border=0 name="corp></a>

Gramps,
I'm relatively new to web development and I'm afraid I don't understand what static address I'm supposed to change. I tried substituting the http://www.externalsite.com with clickLink() but that resulted in a "page not found" message. I don't understand what "http://www.externalsite.com" represents since there is a different address for each logo. Could you please be more specific?
Thanks for your help.

Way to click on link to open in new page?

Anyone figure out a way to open a link in a new page? I have a couple of pages I use as "home" pages and I'd like to be able to tap and open a link in a new page to keep the existing page at its site.

I haven't found a way yet. It depends on how the original page was coded.
If it's a page you control, try adding the following to the link anchor tag:
target="_blank". If not, sorry. Maybe it's something they'll add, but honestly, I doubt it (my personal opinion). It would add clutter to a portion of the interface that's working quite smoothly right now. There's no precedent for a 2-fingered tap like holding down a key, and holding down on the URL for a pause already does something.
My two cents. Sorry! I agree it would be very useful.

Link to url, "_self" is opening a new page...

I am trying to get my button to navigate to _self and the link is opening a new page. Is there something wrong in my code?
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("myurl"), "_self");
Thank you in advance for any help!

both parameters are strings or string variables. you're using a variable (which shouldn't be in quotes).

Can i Open a new page behind the current one in the browser?

Using Safari, if I press a link to 'open in new page' is there a way to have the new page open behind the current one? I can choose it on my laptop browser(windows). It's really annoying when I choose 'open in new page' and the current one is whisked away, then I have to minimise it and go back to the original.

There are other browsers available that have the tabs feature which is so much handier when navigating from page to page like you want to do.
Look at iCab (my favorite), Mercury and Atomic. All three have many more features than Safari has.

Clicking any tab or portal link it opens a new window

Hello,
We are using SAP EP7 and when we click any portal tab or link it opens a new window instead of opening it in the same one.
What can we do to open tabs and links in the same window?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Yes, it looks like a problem with WPM (WorkProtect Mode).
Have a look at this SAP NOTE : 734861. Incase of of iViews, if any data that you entered needs to be saved, then as per the configuration a new window opens up whenever you click any link. This allows you to continue working with the old window, save the data and thereby avoid loss of data. This configuration can be tuned to make it user friendly.
Also have a look at this thread : New window opens on every EP page click for *some* users
Hope this helps.

I click on a link to open a new window nothing shows up - i.e. if I click on 'enlarge' on an Ebay auction photo a new windoiw opens but it's blank inside.

I'm running Firefox 3.6.13 and if I click on a link to open a new window nothing shows up - i.e. if I click on 'enlarge' on an Ebay auction photo a new window opens but it's blank inside.
Any ideas please? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, and downloading and installing Flash but no joy.

How to Set Individual Managed Metadata Navigation Links to Open in New Window?

I am using a managed metadata term set for the global navigation in my client's site. Most of the global navigation links point to pages in the current site, and should open in the current browser window/tab as the end user is just navigating within the
site content. However, I have one particular node in the navigation term set that points to related content scattered around other external sites. The client wants these links to open a new window.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to set the target for navigation links in the term set. If I was using standard global navigation, I'd be able to select the "Open in new window" checkbox when setting up the link, but that option doesn't appear to be
supported via MMD navigation.
Any clever suggestions?
Thanks!

I had a similarish requirement at a client once upon a time, they wanted any links that went outside of the intranet web applications to open in a new window.
The way we managed that was to use jQuery to overwrite the standard hyperlink references for any hrefs that didn't point to internal sites to use the same javascript functions that SharePoint used for links configured to open in a new window. It worked out
as being about half a dozen lines; check the URL and if it doesn't begin with a set range of options then overwrite the on click behaviour using standard jQuery behaviour.
If you want it site wide then you just add jQuery and the code snippet to the master page, if you just want it in some places then add a CEWP or a HTML form web part to the relevant pages.

When I right click on a link to open in new tab and move my cursor into the dialog box the box dissapears this is new in the last 24 hours.

I'm using Firefox 8.0 on Suse 11.4 today is 11/28/11 the past 24 hours I've been experiencing this: I always try to right click on links and open in new tab, lately when I do so and move the cursor into the dialog box the box disappears. Also if I online shop say for clothing, if I want to change size's when I click the button to do so nothing happens when I want to scroll down and pick a different size, (I can hi-light the size and click on it then when the window scrolls back up the default size is still there. This isn't consistent with all web sites.

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.

When I click a link to open the page in new tab, it open the new page beside my page.

After I update FireFox to version 3.6.8, I could not open the new page in the last tab, it always opens the new page in beside the tab.
Mmm…I could not make sure the new page or new tab I said is the same with you…?? (I use Chinese version so that I don’t know if it’s the same or not…)
A window could open several pages with different tabs, and I could click different tab to different page, right?
If I right clicked a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same window, the new tab opened in the last tab of my window.
But after I update FireFox to version 3.6.8 and I click a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same windoe, the new tab will open beside my page. (Mmm…Open on right of my page.)
I would like the “new tab” open to the last tab in my window, not “beside” the tab I used. How could I change the setting??)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After I update FireFox to 3.6.8

That feature isn't new to 3.6.8, it was changed in 3.6.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
Double-click that preference to change the value to '''''false'''''

Firefox is set to open a new page when a link is selected, however it opens underneath/behind

Firefox is set to open a new page when a link is selected, however it opens underneath/behind the page containing the link. In other words I can't see the new page because it is beneath the one I'm looking at.
75% of the time this happens, 25% of the time it works as it should.

Do you mean that it is opening links in a new window? If you would rather have a new tab instead, you can set that in Options > Tabs. Some links are set up so that they will open in a new tab or window. I know of no way to make those open in the same tab, short of changing the code on the page.

Firefox will not open a new page or tab when I click on certain links, why?

Hi,
I have been having a problem with firefox for the past month.
Clicking on some links which open a new tab/window
do not work. For example I cannot enlarge photos
on ebay listings to have a closer look at the image.
I just see a box at the bottom of the screen that
says 'javascript;' then it disappears.
Any ideas how to fix this ?
p.s.I have tried to load in safe mode, but the problem is still there.

Such JavaScript links should show the image in the same tab, so make sure that you left click such links.

I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open. it says page cannot be found. This just started happening. what needs to be corrected?

In Adobe Send, I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open, it says page cannot be found. This just started happening. What needs to be corrected?

I can think of a couple of reasons for this behavior.
You inadvertently turned off the sharing for the files.
The link that the user is clicking on is incomplete; perhaps it got broken across lines in an email message. Are you sending Anonymous Links or Personalized Invitations? If the former, are you certain that you copied the entire link?
Some things to try.
Have the user send the link back to you so that you can test it. Does it work for you?
If you look at your Sent Files list, is the name in the Sent To column struck through (e.g., John Smith)? That would indicate that it has been unshared.
If you could get back to me with answers, perhaps we can get to the bottom of this.
