Flex appends title to browser window in IE

I have run into a bug with my app which occurs only in IE. My
browser title is changed when my embedded flash object is loaded to
the page.
My set up is as follows:
1) Running JSPs
2) Page loads the flash object asynchronously (using ajax).
3) Once flash object is loaded two things happen:
i) The current title of the browser appends a part of my URL
. (URL format is as follows:
https://somehostname.com/#someStringFollowedByParams
#someStringFollowedByParams The part that gets appened to
the title, is everything after and starting with "#" )
ii) My flash object allows some interaction. An as soon as
anything is done with that object (even simply clicking on it , in
any area of that object) the browser title changes completly to
that string that starts with "#".
Now, nowhere in my code do I set a title through flex.
The title that is set through JavaScript on page load,
doesn't have that URL piece .. It displays simple strings depending
on page content.
This only happens in IE (both 6 and 7) , no other browser
behaves this way...
Have anyone seen this issue and have any suggestions ?
Thanks!

As I said, it's not working for me...
Here my use case:
1. Create new project with Flex 3.5 SDK, with this content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="500" height="500" historyManagementEnabled="false">
<mx:Label text="HELLO"/>
</mx:Application>
2. In compilation options, uncheck "Enable integration with browser navigation"
3. Deploy the html+swf in an Apache
4. Access the file like... http://localhost/test.html#abc
5. Click over the flash movie, the window title becomes "#abc"
so, a part from "historyManagementEnabled" and "Enable integration browser navigation"... any other ideas?
I'm using Internet Explorer 7 and Flash Player 10.0.45.2
thanks,
Marc

Need to Remove the tabs group Title from browser window title

When I use a saved tab group, which means I named that tab group in FF 5,''' the name of the tab group appears at the top of the browser along with the title of the web page I am viewing'''. Not good, I need to remove that tab group title from the browser window title, so I am only seeing the title of the webpage, and nothing from the tab group. How do I do that?
thanks

Swf title on browser window

I load up my swf file but it has the file name at the top of
the browser window. Can I change this to what I want it to say? Is
this a flash or dreamweaver topic?

If you're talking about viewing the flash movie ina
browser,it's most likely
an HTML issue - you control it with the <title> tag.
If you're talking about an independent flash viewer, then
it's likely th
etitle of your flash movie.

How to set browser window title from FPM ?

How do I set brwoser window title at runtime in FPM ?
Using IDR area objetc I can set only apllication are(ident area) title, not the browser window title. Browser window title is set statically from iView name of in portal, and PFCG contect if in NWBC client.
But in my case, I want to set it at runtime, for eg. in case of Purchase Order window, I want to set it as 'Purchase Order:<PO number>
Is there any API to set this?
Thanks again,

When you call it as external window you may pass the title. other than that i am afraid you are left with no choice.

How to display Titles in Browser using Flex 3

Hi ,
How is it possible to have a Title Name on the Browser window ??
Any ideas ??
Thanks in advnace .

Hi Kiran,
If you want to set the title only once in the application and if it remains same for rest of your app...you can simpley put pageTitle="Some Title" in your
main Application Root tag..
<mx:Application pageTitle="Some Title" />
But if you want to change the title of your application frequently as you navigate through various screens in your app..then you can put a public function which chnages the title as I posted in my previous code and call that function from various screens by calling that public function using Application.application.setBrowserTitle(passmesage);
Thanks,

The title of a music won't appear in the browser window.

The song appears in iTunes, but it does not appear on the browser window in Aperture. The song title is a mixture of Japanese and English text and it was sampled from an original CD. The browser does list other songs that have only Japanese, only English, or a mixture of the two. Also, it's not other listing songs too. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Might need to "recreate" your iTunes library, read here.

And launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

Changing the text "SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0" in the browser window title

Hi,
I want to change the standard browser window title from "SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0" to my clients company name.
Has anyone done this before?
Please help.
Thanks in advance
Padmamr

Hi,
To change the name of the browser:
System Administration > System Configuration > Service Configuration > Portal Runtime > Central Configuration.
Scroll down to: portal.html.head.title
and change to required name of your company.
Also, if you goto System Administration > System Configuration > UM Configuration > Direct Editing.
Here you will find a host of UME controls for logging on and logging off the Portal. You can change images etc... from here.
Remember to restart the Portal and components for changes to take affect.
Cheers

How to bring the browser window from background/minimized to on top of all windows in Flex

Hi I have the requireemnt where based on some condition I am opening a JSP in a new window by calling
navigateToURL(myFormData, _MYWINDOW);
Calling this will open a new browser window. My requirement is when the new window if minimized or behind other windows, how can I bring this window(MYWINDOW) infront of all the windows using JavaScript in Flex.
In which file under html-template do I have to write my JavaScript function.
Any help on how to call JS from Flex and handling in JS is very much appreciated.
Someone please share with me if there is any sample code. Thanks in advance

hi
to communicate with javascript, use ExternalInterface (see http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/external/External Interface.html for an example)
you can add your JS directly to the index.template file or create a separate JS file and add the link
not sure what JS you would use to bring window to front but i am guessing there is something...

Title in new browser window

Hello,
I wonder if someone can reproduce that one.
I'm using this code to open a new browser window
<af:commandMenuItem text="blabla" useWindow="true" action="add"
id="dialogTrigger" windowWidth="800" windowHeight="600" />In that new window, the jspx page includes a template.
Here is the starting code of that page:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1"
          xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
          xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich"
          xmlns:trh="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/html"
          xmlns:tr="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad">
    <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;"/>
<f:view>
    <af:document title="blabla">
      <af:messages/>
      <af:form>
        <af:pageTemplate viewId="/WEB-INF/templates/popup.jspx">
...Every tag is closed at the end (double checked).
The new browser window has for title "http://127.0.0.1:8988/app/index.jspx - Mozilla Firefox" but I think it should have "blabla - Mozilla Firefox".
Correct me if I'm wrong?
Also, the resulting HTML does not seem to be valid as an orphan closing tag </head> is found just after the opening <html> tag...

Which tag library is referenced by your "afh" ?
I can't see it in jdeveloper 11 ...
According to the reference documentation for tag <af:document />:
The UnifiedDocument creates each of the standard root elements of an HTML page: <html>, <body>, and <head>, but by abstracting away from those components, can be used in non-HTML pages as well. ...
title
String
Yes
the title of the document. (This title doesn't have to match the title on any contained panelPage. More on that:
The generated HTML has a frameset included that points to the real page. Inside "onload" event, that frameset has a call to fixDialogTitle(). The embedded html page has the <title> defined by the <af:document title="fds">, so this works fine... so I guess the fixDialogTitle() function has to transfer the title from that embedded page to the parent one ?

Can't Flex apps scale to fit browser window?

This has been brought up a couple of times, but seems to be a
mystery: How does one scale all content to fit the browser window,
preserving aspect ratio, and centering the content vertically or
horizontally (depending on whether the window aspect ratio is less
than or greater than the content aspect ratio)?
Since Flash is vector-based, I would have thought this would
be straightforward and encouraged!
Some information in an earlier post, plus experimentation on
my part, has yielded a bizarre and inflexible partial solution -
using StageScaleMode, and sizing the app's base container to
exactly 500x375 pixels, I can get content that scales with
the window size and doesn't have mismatched margins (though I
haven't figured out how to center it yet). In addition, there are
ugly scaling artifacts (look at the drop-shadows as you change the
browser window size).
Again, not being a Flash programmer, I baffled that this
isn't better supported, but I have to admit, most of the Flash apps
I've seen in the wild seem to all be fixed at some ridiculous size
like 640x480 or something. Are there some serious bugs here, or am
I missing something? Is there a better approach?
Here's a simple, complete, example (based on an example from
an earlier thread, but simplified a good bit):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx='
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml'
pageTitle="Resize Test"
layout="absolute" autoLayout="false"
addedToStage="event.currentTarget.stage.scaleMode =
StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL"
>
<mx:Style>
VBox {
cornerRadius: 4;
borderStyle: solid; border-color: #000000; borderSize: 1;
horizontalAlign: center; verticalAlign: middle;
dropShadowEnabled: true;
</mx:Style>
<mx:VBox width="500" height="375"
backgroundColor="#808080"
paddingTop="20" paddingBottom="20" paddingLeft="20"
paddingRight="20">
<mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%"
backgroundColor="#808000">
<mx:Label text="This is some text" fontSize="12"
width="128" textAlign="center"/>
<mx:Button label="Button"/>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Application>

Not bitmaps. Externally loaded images that get converted to
bitmaps. What I said is that 90%+ are online catalogues. Logically
it would be safe to assume they display external images of a set
size. Sorry that was unclear. It would interesting to see an
official survey.
Yeah, I was using "bitmap" to mean raster graphics, whether
the actual source be jpg, png or what have you.

Another reason I thought of why resizing does not result in
rescaling by default:
HTML and JSP applications don't rescale when you change the
browser size. Just go to hotmail or msn and check. They reposition.
Flex applications are intended to behave the same way but with RIA
capabilities. That is probably the more likely explanation than
bitmaps merely not scaling well. Anyway, this behaviour was a
thought-out decision and I happen to agree with it. By the way,
older Flash applications
do rescale to fit the window by default.
Exactly! That's the big problem, in my view, with the
HTML/JPG based web, and is what a vector-based solution
(discounting raster graphics) should solve.
Firefox, and now IE7, have features to allow you to scale web
pages to overcome, in a stop-gap way, this problem. IE even scales
images and Flash apps, though some Flash suffers problems when
scaled. Firefox does not (yet?) scale images or Flash along with
the other content. Flash-based Elmo games at sesamestree.org, at
640x480, look pretty stupid on my 42" 1920x1080 LCD (played by my
3-year old, not me!), but at least I can now (try) to scale them up
with IE7 for him.
I do not believe this was a thought-out decision, it's just
inertia from the bad old ways of doing things. There should be a
working option to easily scale content to the browser window, and
if Flex doesn't provide one, Microsoft certainly is going to (with
WPF/E) as they have with WPF. I'm not a big MS fan, but I think
they get the way things are going with the proliferation in the
range of screen resolutions and sizes that web content is being
displayed on.
That said, I realize there is more to dealing with different
screen sizes than just scaling - you may have to change the amount
of content on the screen, dependent on what the subject is.

with impunity, more power to you. Sounds great. I would love this.
But it still doesn't address what should happen when the image goes
beyond the original size. I know you're only using vector graphics
so it's not an issue for you.
Yep, raster graphics are troublesome. Worst case, a beautiful
picture frame grows to surround the image as one zooms beyond its
original size (insert smiley icon of choice here)

Finally to get back on the main topic:
if SWFLoader isn't working well, you could programatically do
the same thing. Have a sub-contaier inside the application
container which adjusts its scale accordingly to the size of the
parent application container. I have done this myself with the
Image class for zooming in and out from images (ironically 1000px+
images which were displayed at much smaller sizes).
<Application resize="adjustSize()"
creationComplete="adjustSize()" paddingLeft="0" paddingRight="0"
paddingTop="0" paddingBottom="0">
<Script>
private function adjustSize():void {
var newScaleX = this.width/content.width
var newScaleY = this.height/content.height
content.scaleX = newScaleX;
content.scaleY = newScaleY;
</Script>
<Box id="content" borderStyle="none" width=400 height=300
/> 
</Application>
Something along the lines of the above should definitely
work. I am just basing it off my own previous code. You may have to
be careful of borders and padding if you decide to add them.
Whether it works better than the other suggestions you'll have to
decide.
Thanks for the code, and I'll try it. I'm new to Flex, and so
I'm still struggling with some things (such as when objects are
available for manipulation).

Changing the Title of the Browser window dynamically in WDA

Hello All,
I have a window created in WDA where I am looking at the possibility of changing dynamically the title displayed on the Browser window. I am aware that this title is derived from the description of the application created for the WD component.
Is there any way to modify this title/description at any point in the flow?
Thanks & Regards,
Sharat.

Important to note to people who aren't SAP employees using this forum that NW 7.02 and 7.20 are not available yet. They are still within internal development at SAP. Ramp-Up for these releases are not scheduled to begin until Q4 2009 at the earliest.

Upgraded to Firefox 29.0 (Mac) and can now no longer minimize browser window by double-clicking title bar. Please advise!

I recently upgraded to Firefox 29.0 (Mac) and can now no longer my minimize browser window into the dock by double-clicking the title bar. I need to be able to use this feature. Please advise!

I just upgraded to iTunes 8.0.1.11 too (XP) and am seeing the same behavior. The little mini controller in the taskbar no longer works. If you double click the icon in the system tray, you can restore the iTunes window.
On the Advanced preferences tab, select both the "Show iTunes icon in system tray"
and the "Minimize iTunes window to system tray" checkboxes. If only the "Show iTunes icon in system tray" is selected, you will not be able to restore the iTunes window and will have to use the task manager to kill iTunes.
Hope this gets fixed, I found the task bar controller very handy for pausing/starting/volume control/etc.
