InDesign to swf--can you make hyperlinks that don't open a new window?

I am exporting an InDesign document to swf with interactive hyperlinks placed on an existing webpage. My problem is if you click on a hyperlink a new webpage opens up. Can I make the hyperlink work so that clicking on the link does not open up a new tab or window, but changes the page within the current window?

I have tried that too and it didn´t work out. Attribute that controls where you open your hyperlink is called Target. And InDesign doesn´t let you define it. Let´s hope some improvement with this in future...

  • Create a hyperlink that does not open a new window if a window containing the url is already open?

    Is there a way to create a hyperlink to a url that "jumps to" the URL's window if it is already open in the browser?  Therefore a new window is not opened and the existing window containing the hyperlink would not change either.
    If the target url is not already open, then yes the link could either open in a new window or in its existing window.
    Does anyone know if there is a command/code for this? 

    Ok, so to be clear, I should add all of the following:
    Header 1
    function getCookie(c_name) {
    if (document.cookie.length>0)   {
    c_start=document.cookie.indexOf(c_name + "=");
    if (c_start!=-1)     {
        c_start=c_start + c_name.length+1;
        c_end=document.cookie.indexOf(";",c_start);
        if (c_end==-1) c_end=document.cookie.length;
        return unescape(document.cookie.substring(c_start,c_end));
    return "";
    function wOpen () {
    var cookiename = getCookie ('winFlag');
    newWin = window.open("YOURPAGE.html","myWin'","height=200, width=200");
    newWin.blur();
        document.cookie = "winFlag=1";
    into 1 file?  And that is the file that links to the music page?
    I don't know if my Flash music page creates a cookie onto the user's browser.  That would be necessary for this to work, right?

  • FF Less stable than IE. Numerous crashes, the latest quirk is that it will open a new window with a website already working on and NONE of the iterations of FF work. Have to reboot computer because can't even exit FF. Fix it or on to Chrome.

    '''''"a new FF iteration"'''''
    No such thing. All Firefox windows and tabs run in a single '''firefox.exe''' process, unlike IE which has a separate process for each window, or Chrome which opens a new process for each tab.
    As far as the Firefox SafeMode, you can't open it when Firefox is running ''(unless you open a separate Profile purposely)'', if you try all you will get is another window in the "regular mode".
    You're not going to be able to discover the cause of your problem if you're unwilling to follow established troubleshooting procedures, regardless of how intermittent the fault occurs. I wouldn't be surprised of you have an add-on installed which is causing that problem.
    Another course of action would be to create a new Profile, which is like starting from scratch with a completely new Firefox installation. <br />

  • In Firefox 5 links with target="_blank" don't open in new window or tab. Is there a way to make them do that?

    I've search some info about this and it seems like there's a lot of people that are annoyed by links opening in new window/tab and that the 'target="_blank"' is not valid in strict XHTML. I'm guessing this could be reasons why Firefox 5 ignores the 'target="_blank"'. But in some cases you really want to open a new widow, in my case I'm using a flash application and want to open links in new windows from there and then the ctrl-click doesn't work. When opening the link in the same page and then go back the application is reloaded and it's state is lost. Probably should try to find out if there's some other way to open links from a flash application, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make Firefox 5 open 'target="_blank"' links in new tabs.

    I don't know how to delete my question, anyway I'm not having this problem anymore. In our organisation the IT department deploy Firefox updates with certain settings and limitations, in the tap-options the checkbox for opening new windows in new tabs where checked but disabled. They made some changes to make this checkbox enabled and now it works as expected if it's check new windows open i new tabs and if it's not in new windows. They never opens in the same tab as they did before.

  • Word hyperlinks converted to PDF-open in new window???

    I currently use Word 2007 to build indexes with hyperlinks and convert to PDF using Adobe Professional 9. I know how to set my Adobe preferences so that hyperlinks open in a new window, but I want to set this on the document level for each index I create. I also know how to set each link within the final pdf to open in a new window (if I go through each and every link preference).  I must create the hyperlinks in Word as there are many instances that my indexes change prior to distribution of the discs and I don't like having to duplicate, triplicate, etc. my linking process in Adobe as some of my indexes contain 300+ links. I only know of JavaScript but not enough to use with confidence...  I want the hyperlinks to open in new windows (as that has always been my instructions to the end user) without the end user having to fumble around with their systems and settings. It has just been brought to my attention that my discs do not have that function set. Meaning, that what I view and test on my system is not the same as the end user. The hyperlinks open in the same window (dang it!!). I did see a JavaScript solution but keep getting an error (on line 2). Here is the JavaScript I found in the forum: app.openInPlace = false;   //Opens cross-document links in separate windows.
    So, I have muliple questions...
    Is this sript the best way to accomplish the document level open in a new window function?
    Is this script written correctly? (I did cut and paste this script within the brackets)
    If I use the JavaScript and save, does that save in the Adobe application system or just on the document level?  And then how do I delete if it doesn't work properly?
    What other functions can you suggest I try?
    Any suggestions would be helpful!

    Where did you place that script, exactly?
    It should work, there's probably just an error in how you added the text of the script. Try removing the comment so that there's only one line of code:
    app.openInPlace = true;
    Note that this changes the user preference, which is generally frowned upon, so you should endeavor to set it back to what it was in the first place when the document is closed. This would involve storing the value of this property when the document opens, change it if necessary, and restore it when the document closes. It also won't work for those users who have JavaScript disabled.
    Unfortunately, link annotations are difficult to alter in an automated way given what's available in Acrobat. It would be possible with an Acrobat plug-in to make document-wide changes to all of the links, but I'm not aware of any that do this. You might want to search around.

    Back up all data.
    Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    defaults delete com.apple.dock single-app && killall Dock
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.

  • Can you make hyperlinks, bold, or italics in web mac mail?

    I can do all of that in mac mail from my desktop, but there does not seem to be a similar option on mac mail on the web.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks!

    Most web-based mail editors don't provide fancy formatting. If you know basic HTML you can add the codes before and after text to provide bold, italics, and hyperlinks. However, unless the recipient's mail app is configured to read HTML formatted mail the formatting may not appear as desired.

  • Can you make drop down menus and can you make hyperlinks to parts of a page

    No. You have to make them yourself. Search this forum :

  • Can you make Illustrator automatically resize artwork to fit (new) artboard?

    I've got an Illustrator storyboard document with 10-12 panels on each page. I need to create larger JPGs of each panel. I've been pasting each into a new document, scaling them up, and placing them so they're within the artboard correctly. Is there an easier way to have Illustrator just fit the artwork to the new artboard?

    Can you post a visual of what you're trying to do?
    Otherwise, off the top of my head I'd do this in the same illustrator file (or a copy). Just resize the artboard, then group all of the elements and scale them up by the same percentage. Use the same reference point for both the resize of the artboard and the scaling of the art and they should match right up.
    Or, when you export to jpeg from Illustrator, increase the resolution to account for the larger dimensions you need.

  • HTML Renderer - Links that do not open a new window

    Hi All,
    I have links which navigates users to an area within the page, however all anchor tags (<a></a>) which are not http://com.sap.cm in html rendered by the html collection renderer are opened in a new window (target=_blank).  Even if I specify target=_self, it changes to target=_blank automatically.
    Is there anyway to implement <a target="_self" href="#aLocationInPage">link</a>?
    Cheers,
    Vic

    Hi there,
    we had the same issue - I opened an OSS and got following reply :

  • Once I close all windows and try to open another I get a message saying"Firefox is still running, you must close all browers before opening a new window. Why is this happening? I have the 3.5.10 Version

    I close all Firefox windows. When I try to open another window later I get a message telling me that Firefox is still running and that I need to close all windows or restart my computer. I have this about 3 times a day this past week but prior to that it was maybe every one or 2 weeks. I had the 3.5.10 Version of Firefox, but have just updated to see if this stops this from happening. But what do I do if it doesn't stop it?

    There are a few possible causes for that error, for details see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]

  • HT1461 How can you make more 'Ram' available using bootcamp, on the windows side of things??

    Hey, i recently bought an iMac 20.5' (i5) and it came with 4gb Ram
    I am a music producer but the program i use is windows based, so i got bootcamp, all that works fine
    but ive been working on a new song for a while now and the prgoram has an 'indicator' showing how much CPU usage % and ram is being used.
    it is now at 1956mb! which should efffect because i have 4gb! right!??.. no it says (in windows sytem) 2.3gb (available)....
    So i went out and bought an extra 4gb, followed the instructions and Ram went int easy!!. I log onto Mac and yep 8 GB Of RAM!!
    so then i log into windows (through bootcamp ofcourse) and still 2.3 gb available....
    anyone know if i can make more avaible?? or do i have to reinstall windows through bootcamp???
    Thankyou
    P.S. 32 but windows 7 is what i use

    Windows installed using Boot Camp uses all your comptrer's resources.
    Windows 7 32 bit can only use about 3 GB of RAM. The limitation is that 32 bits can not address more than this. If you want to address and use more RAM then you need Windows 64 bit.

  • Can you Make Dynamic Email Content by Open Time?

    Not by send time, but dynamic content by open time? For text in a email.
    Is there javascript that can do this?
    Thank you

    I'm not an expert, but I know third party java script tends to be disallowed by most email providers. ReturnPath or Litmus might have wise guidance here.

  • How can I make hyperlinks work from a Flash/SWF presentation?

    How do you make hyperlinks/buttons work in Flash/SWF Captivate 5.5 presentations? This did not seem to be an issue with Version 4. I cannot publish to video (i.e. mp4) or as an executable file for posting on our internal system. If it cannot be done in Flash/SWF, how else can I get buttons/hyperlinks to work? Thank you.

  • Do you have to down load from the internet using apple's recover partition, every time you need to do a clean install? or can you make a copy of Mt Lion onto a USB stick and install off that?

    Do you have to down load Mountain Lion from the internet every time you need to do a clean install? or can you make a copy of Mt Lion onto a USB stick and install off that?
    Thanks

    Yes you can make a USB stick of Lion or Mt Lion. Use Lion Disk Maker after you download OS X from the internet.
    For Lion you have to point the download to an external drive and watch when it completes and reboots the system to start the install disconnect the external. If you bought Mt Lion from the Mac App Store then you can download it from there and just cancel the install when it comes up on the desktop.
    If you are downloading from the Recovery HD or from the Online Internet Recovery system, slightly different then the built in Recovery HD, then again you need to point it to an external drive and discoonect that drive when the system reboots to start the real install.
    Then use Lion disk maker to create either a DVD disc or USB thumb of the install files.
