Launch new browser window

I have a PDF (created with InDesign) with URL links. Once opened in the browser, I cannot find a way to get the links inside the PDF to open a new browser window.
I looked in FAQ and thought I found an answer, but it's not working for me http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbad470
I'm using Windows XP, IE6, and Acrobat 8 Pro.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Jodi

So if you are using AS2, then you should create the button you intend to use, place it on the stage, and with the button selected, enter an instance name for it in the Properties panel.  That instance name will allow you to interact with the button using code.  Then, in the timeline where the button is, in a separate actions layer, you could code it as follows (let's assume you gave it an instance name of "btn"):
btn.onRelease = function(){
     getURL("myGallery.swf", "_blank");
That should get your swf file opening in a new broswer window.  Just a note... when you open an swf file in a browser, it will size itself to fill the browser per whichever dimension hits the window frame first.  So if you want to control the size it displays at, you should use an html page to display it.

  • Not launching in new browser window?

    I have setup a Flash viewer in a HTML Div container. In the Flash I have put a button which, when clicked, launches a new browser window with another site I've done to appear in.
    When I test this in Flash its working fine and launches the new window as it should.
    But when I go into Dreamweaver where I have placed the Swf. in the Div container, I test it locally in a Firefox browser window. The viewer appears and it works correctly, but when I click the button to launch the new browser window it just opens a window with an error msg 'unable to connect, etc'.
    Any idea why this wont work? Is it because it needs to be live (online)?

    Hi,
    What is the link that you are trying to open.
    Please check if you have placed the protocol - like this http://www.xmy.com" format
    and used "_blank" as target in navigateToURL API.

  • Default size of new browser window launched from community links portlet

    Does anyone know of a way to control the size of the new browser window that is launched when the user clicks a link in a Community Links portlet (or any other links that launch a new browser window)?
    We default all users to open links in a new browser window and I can't seem to find any rhyme or reason to how it sizes the resulting window. Some community links come out really skinny and un-user friendly, while others are nicely sized to near full screen.
    Is there some way to control this?
    Thank you.
    Darla

    Darla,
    Which version of the portal are you guys running? We are currently using 6.5 and all the links/Documents/ExternalLinks/Pages open up in a new browser window with the same sizes.
    Its basically controlled by javascript.

  • Conditionally opening a new browser window from a JSP page

    When the user clicks on a button in my JSP page, I'd like to launch a new browser and display certain things in that browser window while leaving the original browser window open. The new browser should only be displayed if certain conditions are met.
    My thought was to invoke a javascript method in 'onLoad' which would determine if the new window needs to be launched.
    This is kinda what my page looks like:
    <jsp:root version="1.2" ................>
        <jsp:directive.page import="java.util.*, com.test.Configuration" contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"/>
        <f:view>
         <ui:body binding="#{Page1.body1}" id="body1" onLoad="launchWindow();">     
         </ui:body>
       </f:view>
       <script type="text/javascript">
            function launchWindow(){
             if (Configuration.openWindow()) {
              window.open("hello.jsp", "newWindow", 'toolbar,width=400,height=400');            
        </script>     
    </jsp:root>
    My problem is that the call to "Configuration.openWindow()" does not resolve correctly. If I remove that call and simply make a call to "window.open()" all works. But once I put the condition in, nothing happens. I do not see an exception in my browser window but a new browser window does not open.
    Is my syntax correct. Can I make a call to the static method 'openWindow()' in my class 'Configuration.java'.
    I posted this same query on the JSF forum but received now replies. My question is more suited to the JSP forum and hence I'm posting this question here.
    thanks,
    tsc

    I have made some changes so that I do not directly access the 'Configuration' class in my javascript.
    I have a hidden field on my form and when the user clicks the button, in my back bean, I set a value for the hidden field. In the javascript function 'launchWindow()' I check if a value has been set for the hidden field and if yes, I open a new window.
    <ui:body binding="#{Page1.body1}" id="body1" onLoad="launchWindow(document.forms[0]);">
    <h:inputText id="hiddenField" value="#{formBean.hiddenValue}" />
    <script type="text/javascript">
            function launchWindow(form){
                alert("in lw");
                var test = form["form1:hiddenField"].value;
                alert("got test");
                if (test !=  "")
                    window.open("hello.jsp", "newWindow", 'toolbar,width=400,height=400');            
                alert ("done test");
    </script>When my page is first loaded, the launchWindow() is called and all the alerts popup as expected.
    When I click on the button (the back bean sets the value on the hidden field), my page is reloaded but this time its blank.
    Any ideas as to why this maybe the case?
    thanks,
    tsc

  • Want To Have Flash Project Open In New Browser Window

    Hi,
    My project outputs and plays perfect to Flash (let default to
    Flash 7) but when viewing it (via a link from a web page) it opens
    in a "next" window and at the end, if you use the X (EXIT) button
    from the player control bar it wants to close the browser window
    and does not take you back to the webpage (where I have the link to
    play). I cannot seem to find an option in the Preferences or during
    output to make the player open in a "new" browser window. Is it
    possible there is a browser setting for this instead of setting in
    Captivate? (IE 6 or 7) Thanks for any help/suggestions!

    Hi leh1, and welcome to the User Community for Captivate!
    The window in which any content plays is determined by the
    code contained for the link,
    in the web-page from which it is launched. In a nutshell,
    you add these parameters to the link when it is created in the
    "Parent" window.
    Below is a snippet from a Menu Builder project in which the
    links to "Project1" and "Project2" are set to open in a "New"
    window, without chrome (note the many "
    =no" following an equal sign), at a size of 720 pixels by
    540 pixels ... the snip below shows a link to "Project1.htm", a
    document containing a Captivate movie. I have bolded the specific
    entries that control the type window ("OpenCustomLink") and the
    size of that window ("width=720,height=540"):
    <P style="cursor: pointer; cursor: hand; position:
    absolute; left: 90px; top: 149px; text-decoration: none; font:
    normal 18pt Arial; color: #000000" title="Project 1" onclick="
    OpenCustomLink('project1.htm', '_blank',
    'scrollbars=no,status=no,
    titlebar=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,
    fullscreen=no,
    width=720,height=540'); "
    onmouseover="this.style.color='#0000FF'; "
    onmouseout="this.style.color='#000000';">Project 1</P>
    (some spaces inserted to avoid horizontal scroll)
    All of which is to say, the target window is controlled from
    the link in the parent document. I wouldn't suggest you just
    copy-paste the above code, as I took liberties with it. I
    would suggest that you can do this yourself with your own
    HTML editor (Dreamweaver, etc.), or even better, get your local
    web-guru to do it for you.
    All the best!!

  • New browser window from CRM Web UI causes problems

    Hi Experts,
    We have several links to internal web sites that CRM users can access from the web UI.  Problem is, whenever one of these links are selected, the user looses whatever it was they were doing in CRM and the main window displays the following message:
    The object you have selected is starting in a new browser window. You can continue working normally in the current application. However, you may have to navigate back to the page you were working on.
    Anyway to prevent this from happening?   Would very much appreciate any advice.
    Thanks,
    Stephen Brewer

    Hello Brewer,
    If your requirement is to open some URL say google.com etc in a now window, then there are only 2 ways
    1) Use Transaction Launcher
    2) Use PopUp Window.
    1) If you use transaction launcher, and created the link in your direct link group then on click of the link, the URL will open in new window but you cant avaoid the message that you get in the current window. Also, if users POPUP Blocker is ON, user will never come to know why the new window has not launch.
    2) This is very simple and straight forward approch for opening URL. However, POPUP windows in WEB UI are modal windows, so say on click on a button on Account Overview Screen, i open google.com in a popup then unless i close this popup , i can not work on the account overview screen . However, you can see the account overview screen as it is and you can resume back when the popup is closed. Also you can define the even handler on close event of pop up so you can pass the data to & fro between the webclient view and the pop up.
    to open some extrenal URL in a PopUp , You will need to create a blank view and attach it to a window. In .htm file of the view, you can use tag IFRAME and call your external URL here.
    Hope its helpful.
    Thanks & Rregards
    Prasad
    PS : the popup blocked problem will still be there however, it flashes a message like pop up blocker is ON in case of using popup window

  • "Go to URL" not opening in a new browser window

    We are using FrameMaker 10 and RoboHelp 9 in a Windows 7 environment.
    When we create hypertext links, we use the "Go to URL" command.  According to the FrameMaker 10 online help, this is what the command is supposed to do: "Launches browser and displays the specified Web page."
    Then we publish the content to RoboHelp's WebHelp.
    When we see the hypertext link in the WebHelp/HTML output, it looks like this: http://www.adobe.com
    When we click it, the Web page appears inside the content frame of the WebHelp.  It does not open a new browser window.
    We can manually go into the html file and look at the hypertext link.  It looks like this in the WebHelp output:
    <span class="FM_Link"><a href="http://www.adobe.com">www.adobe.com</span>
    In order to manually change the link so that it opens the Web page in a new browser window, we can edit the link as follows:
    <span class="FM_Link"><a href="http://www.adobe.com" target="_blank">www.adobe.com</span>
    After we manually edit the HTML file, save it, launch the WebHelp, and click the hypertext link...it now opens the Web page in a new browser window.
    Is there a way to create the hypertext link in FrameMaker so that the WebHelp output will open the Web page in a new browser window?
    Thank you in advance!
    Tim

    Please see the previous posts in this thread to review how you create hyperlinks in FrameMaker that open the Web page in a new browser window.
    The problem is this: If you publish the exact same file to PDF, the hyperlinks will not work.
    The properties (syntax) of the hyperlinks in PDF output need to look like this: http://www.adobe.com
    The hyperlink syntax in WebHelp (in FrameMaker) needs to look like this: http://www.adobe.com" target="_blank
    (...so when they are published to Webhelp, they look like this: "http://www.adobe.com" target="_blank")
    Other than going into either the HTML or the PDF output and manually changing each hyperlink URL syntax for the specific output, is there a syntax that opens a new browser window in both PDF and HTML with one single "Go to URL" command?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Opening a URL in a new browser window

    Hello Experts,
    I am trying to open a dynamic url in a new browser window from a Portal application (travel and expenses). Basically, when a user clicks on the submit button, Badi IF_EX_TRIP_WEB_CHECK~USER_CHECK_CHANGES is called. In the BaDI, we have added code to concatenate a parameter to a url and then open a new browser window with that url. This works perfectly in r/3 using a tcode (pr_web_1200) but when I use the portal application under ESS, the window does not open and no error message is issued. We are using METHOD cl_gui_html_viewer->detach_url_in_browser. Any idea why this is not working through ESS in Portal? Is there some other method that we need to use? Any help is appreciated.
    Regards,
    Sal

    Re: Open Portal Transaction iView in new window *without* Browser window
    for iView (page) you probably set the property 'Launch in New Window' to value Display in Separate Window. To tune up the other otions you have the possibility to set the property Window Features, value should contain toolbar=no. These features will be used when Javascript opens up your window - you can apply any option coomonly documented. IMHO for your demands the best option is fullscreen=yes,toolbar=no - you get really the maximum possible size.

  • New browser window from single movie frame?

    Sorry but I am a total newbie>
    I have a 4 frame movie imported into one layer and want to
    specify a different URL to be opened in a separate window for each
    frame. So I have made each frame a keyframe and added from the
    behaviors a geturl event for each frame. When this is published it
    loops the movie and opens a new browser window for every frame for
    every loop, resulting in dozens of browser windows. How can I make
    this a mouse clickable event so only when I click on a frame will
    the new browser window launch?
    I am trying to use onrelease, but I am not sure how this
    should work as I can't find a good example.

    1) you can't 'click on a frame' in the SWF file when it's
    running, you must click on a 'button' or 'movieclip' instance the
    you construct ON a particular frame, or all in the same frame with
    different buttons on theStage.
    2) you need to add a 'stop()' action to your actions layer to
    stop the SWF from 'playing' which is why it continues to open more
    windows, MovieClip timelines play and loop by default.
    3) more information that you will ever need is located in the
    Flash Help files(F1) along with many tutorials to learn the basic
    concepts, open them and go to 'Getting Started in Flash' to learn
    some basics.

  • Open PDF link in new browser window?

    I'm viewing a newly created PDF in a browser.
    When clicking an internal link, the linked PDF loads into the same window
    I need it to launch in a new browser window.
    I have set the link to "launch new window" in Word where this file originated.
    I have also opened and resaved it in Acrobat 10 with preference "Open cross-document links in same window" deselected.
    Neither of these setting have change the behavior though all documentation I read seems to suggest they should.
    What am I missing here??
    -Blake

    That preference setting does not apply to web links and do not refer to a browser window, but an Acrobat window.
    There is a JavaScript method that might work. Try setting the link action to something like the following script:
    app.launchURL("http://www.example.com/", true);
    This was taken from the example here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.150.html
    The problem is if a user has Reader 10 and protected mode is enabled (as it is by default), it doesn't work and opens the link in the same browser window.

  • .mov launches IE browser windows

    I opened a .mov file and ends up playing the clip in QT, but also launches a bunch of IE windows. Besides not opening the file, how can I turn that feature off (where this type of file can open other apps)?
    FYI... the file just had a bunch of numbers as a name and had the .mov extension. Have no clue what the source was.... I deleted it a few days ago.
    Thanx,
    E

    Texan to Texan: First trust the source.
    The downloaded .mov files can contain embedded "URL's" that will launch your web browser.
    There is not much you can do to remove these links from the file. As the "file extension here" opens it will do as the authors intended and open new browser window(s).
    First. Don't open links that you don't trust.
    Second. "Clean" you PC (via anti virus software) so you can clean up your PC.
    Did I mention about not downloading videos from untrusted sources?

  • Resizing a new browser window

    I am a reasonably new user of Dreamweaver CS3. I have worked
    out how to use '_blank' to open a new browser window, but can
    someone please help me work out how to resize that new window and
    remove the navigation bars etc. I know there is the "Behaviours"
    section where it lets you do this, but using this feature removes
    the little hand when the mouse hovers over the image in my website.
    I am reasonably new to this, so any help would be very much
    appreciated.
    Thank you.

    If I understand, you are asking if this will get around Popup
    Blocking
    of onload events? No it will not. The onload event is, by its
    nature,
    an unsolicited event, and Popup blockers are designed to
    prevent
    precisely that.

  • Opening New Browser window for click event on an image

    hi all,
    I want someone to help me out solving the problem of opening
    a new browser window on the mouse click event of an image or a
    button etc.... The new window would contain the datagrid details
    from the main window, but in an expanded form. If at all there is a
    solution, I even want to know whether there is anyway for sizing
    the poped up window,because I dont want the new poped up window to
    cover the entire screen.
    For getting better idea of my problem, the best example I
    could give is the popup window that appears when we click on the
    preview button while posting the message to the forum.
    Someone please do help me out in this regard.
    Thanks,
    amar.

    I'd definitely try to use a Flex popup... but the
    flash.net.navigateToURL method is a simple way to open a popup
    window in a new browser. You can pass any data needed by the new
    page using the URLRequest and/or URLVariables. The URL you navigate
    to could, of course, be another Flex application if necessary. I
    use this only when I need to open a popup window on another site,
    or an HTML formatter report or something similar.
    Concerning yourself with the size of the popup window may be
    a bad design choice also. I, for example, have my browser
    configured to open all popups in a new tab regardless of sizing
    constraints imposed by the designer. If it is absolutely necessary
    for you to have control over the size of your popup window, you
    should follow the advice given by others and use a Flex
    popup.
