.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?

Template Images Move w/ Different Browser Window Sizing

I need to know if it is possible to "lock" the images I have
in my template so that when the browser window is resized the
elements do not move and relocate themselves. If the window is
sized down I just want it to cut off the images. Anyone have any
suggestions? The help is greatly appreciated.

Did you see my previous extensive reply?
Suggestion 1: it's a bad idea to use file/pathnames that
contain spaces (or
any punctuation other than hyphen or underscore) like this -
background-image: url(../images/IW%20background%20file2.jpg);
../images/top row/toppic3.jpg'
-----------------^
Suggestion 2: The indent icons are NOT appropriate for
general layout. The
have a SEMANTIC meaning (what is contained within them should
be quoted
material)....
<blockquote>
<p><a href="#" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()"
Suggestion 3: When you want help with a layout problem, the
best bet is to
upload the offending page and post a link to it, rather than
to just paste
the code into a reply.
Suggestion 4: All layout problems are related to a) the HTML
markup you have
on the page, and perhaps b) the CSS that cascades into that
markup. Most of
the answers given here will be given referencing HTML/CSS
markup. To
understand the answers that are given, you will need to have
some
understanding of HTML and CSS (and you will *definitely* need
this to work
effectively with DW). So -
The images across the top of your page are simply adjacent
image tags
contained within anchor tags, which are all contained within
a single
paragraph tag, within a blockquote tag, directly within the
body of the
page, e.g.,
<body>...<blockquote><p><a><img></a><a><img></a><a><img></a><p>
The <blockquote> tag is a block tag. A block tag fills
the width of its
container, whatever that might be. This <blockquote>
tag, therefore, will
therefore reach from the left page margin to the right page
margin, because
it is only contained within the <body> tags - i.e.,
there is no container
wrapping the <blockquote> other than the
<body></body> tags. As the browser
viewport width changes, the space between the page's left and
right margins
changes concommitantly, reducing or enlarging the amount of
space in which
the <blockquote> tag sites. Thus, the effective width
of the blockquote tag
is affected immediately by the browser viewport width. In a
similar
fashion, the <p> tag, also a block tag, changes its
width to accommodate the
flexing of the viewport window. Since the images are just
arrayed in
adjacent locations within that <p> tag, if the width of
the <p> tag is less
than the aggregate width of the images, then the images will
wrap to the
next line.
Is that the "motion" you are seeing? If so, it's unrelated to
the
incidental fact that the page is also made from a Template.
You can fix this with a bludgeon or a scalpel.
Bludgeon: Use CSS to give that <p> tag an explict
width, and to set overflow
to hidden, e.g.,
<p style="width:969px;overflow:hidden;">....
Scalpel: Redesign the page layout....
Hope that helps.

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.

How can i make QuickTime movie open a browser window?

like title says, how can i accomplish this when i create/edit the QT movie?
thanks!

You set the "href" link or use the target=your URL in your page code.
Quicktime 7 can also be used to set some movie proprieties to open the file in a new Player window.
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/
One of my files that uses the QuickTime Player app.
If you wish to include a "link" inside your file to automatically open a new Web page when a certain frame of your movie is played you need to include a HREFTrack.
This feature is currently "broken" in the Windows version of QT 7.
Older versions still incorporate the href track properly/

Full Screen mode cancelled by launching PDF in Browser Window

There are quite a few of these posts on here. After Flash 9
the fullscreen fscommand no longer retains its fullscreen display
if you use getURL to launch a browser window to display either a
web page or a PDF. All of the previous posts have been "answered"
by the Flash Jester Jugglor Support Team, unashamedly plugging
JSTART and JUGGLOR to everyone raising this issue. When all we
really need is a response from Adobe on how we can fix this -
because it's obviously a BUG - and serves no real purpose.
I DON'T want to buy JUGGLOR, I tried it years ago and found
it buggy and unfathomable. All I want is to be able to keep my
fullscreen!
The cynic in me wonders whether FlashJester might be owned by
Adobe in some way, and by introducing this bug they're hoping to
raise additional revenue from selling all those copies of
JUGGLOR....?

most likely the example you got has a flaw, I've created a
few flex apps, and the work fine on full screen using ie6 or ie7 or
firefox. Try debugging it so you'll figure out what's the
issue

Browser Window Size via an LMS

Greetings,
We post our movies to an LMS and everything works just great.
One thing: I'd like the movies launch via theLMS to appear in
a specific window size. I can edit the .html files and manually
paste a javascript into the file to make this happen. But that
means I have to edit the html file each time. That can be a bit
problematic considering we have several hundred movies.
I believe that editing the seed "standard.htm" file with a
javascript will make this happen. Is there another seed file that I
need to edit as well? For instance, is there something I need to do
to the scorm_support.htm file located in the Scorm Support folder?
Either way, does someone have a javascript I can paste into
either file? I cannot seem to be able to make this work.

CBTer,
I'm not sure if you found it, but since you are using
Captivate, you can
modify the "template" file (depending what version of
Captivate, it's found
at "C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Captivate\Templates\Publish")
and find the
AICC.htm or SCORM.htm files for editing. NOTE: This would
only affect the
size of the Flash application in the browser.
If you want to affect the actual browser window, you can
[potentially] make
a change in your LMS, if it's supported as previously
suggested OR you can
make a new HTML file that redirects to your
Captivate-published file. This
is more tricky if you need to support the AICC standard. I
think I have
something around - are you using AICC or SCORM?
Oh, to affect the actual browser window - you really want to
do this when
the browser is LAUNCHED and thus should modify the thing that
actually
launched the browser (whether this is the LMS or a new
browser file that
launches another browser window using the settings you want).
Regards,
Andrew

2nd browser window to open?

Does anyone out there know of a lingo script to display a
Shockwave movie, called from another Shockwave movie, in another
browser window and have the player go to a specific frame or marker
in that movie?
I've tried "gotoNetPage", it opens a new browser window but I
haven't found an add-on syntax that will move the player to a
specific frame/marker.
"gotoNetMovie" is just the opposite, the movie replaces the
movie in the browser window where it's called from and goes to the
specified frame/marker.
Can anyone help?

THere seems to not be a shockwave counterpart to the go to
frame n of
movie "x" projector syntax. Global variables presist between
shockwave
files, the caller can store the destination frame in a global
and have
the destination movie read it at the start.
on startMovie
global skipToFrame
if integerp(skipToFrame) then go to skipToFrame
end

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.

Closing browser window from Flash movie on CD

I have to put a flash lesson I created on a cd for a client and while testing it I noticed that my exit button in the movie no longer seems to function.
This is my close window function
    function closeWindow(evt:Event)
        var url:String = "javascript:window.opener=self; window.close()";
        var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
        try
            navigateToURL(request, "_self");
        catch (e:Error)
            trace("Error occurred!");
Can anyone tell me why this wouldn't work when the movie is launched in a browser window from a CD?

Fi it is at all possible you cannot do that with url request.
Try using ExtrenalInterface class:
ExternalInterface.call("javascript:...");
It may not waork though depending on security settings and embed parameters.

Safari 3.1 launches but no browser window

Hello there, I accidently updated my safari 3.0.4 to 3.1 during my last software update. When I launched Safari I only got the menubar but no browser window. I've read about 3.1 causing a lot of trouble that's why I never wanted to install it. So far, I've checked permissions, trashed Safari 3.1 and the safari31pkg and emptied cache. I've copied over a 3.0.4 version from another machine but that won't give me back my browser window. How can I fix this without losing all my usernames?
The machine involved is a G4/733 running 10.4.11 and latest security update.

Hi,
Go to these 2 locations to see if you have any 3rd party extensions and move anything present in them onto your Desktop to deactivate them:
Hard drive -> Users -> YourUsername -> Library -> InputManagers
Hard drive -> Library -> InputManagers
Restart Safari to pick up the change. If it works now, you can try moving the items back one by one until you find the culprit.
If that doesn't work, one quick test you can do to help narrow down things is to try Safari in another user account.
This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> \[+\] to create a test one (and \[-\] to remove it if needed)

How to open "AppServer Control" in same browser window as "Launch Control"?

When I start the SOA Suite start web page ""SOA Launch Control" and I click e.g.
on the link "Application Server Control" then another browser window is opened
for the "Enterprise Manager".
Is there a way to tell the SOA Suite to open the new web page inside the
current "Launch Control" web page (=replace the current "Launch Control"
web page) ?

You can look this extension if you want to sign on with different identities at the same time:
* Multifox: http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/
You can also use multiple profiles to rule out issues caused by extensions or other changes that you've made in your current Firefox profile as posted above.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox
Use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile if you want to run different Firefox versions simultaneously.

I cannot move, resize, minimize, or close the browser window despite everything inside the window still working.

I don't know what details are needed so I'll just rattle off anything that I can think of.
I am running an Asus laptop with windows 7. I have never had an issue with firefox in the past (beyond the usual freezing and some obvious issues with pop up ads that are par for the course with firefox since adblocker never does what it says.... not really. Lets be honest.) I am using Avast for my virus protection and it is also up to date.
My issue started about an hour ago when firefox stopped responding. The video I had playing kept going but I could not interact with anything. Assuming the program froze for the billionth time that week I rebooted it. This has always solved freezing issues in the past. Now, however, firefox is doing something new.
I can access the menus and almost everything on the window itself except for the minimize/maximize/close buttons, I cannot move the window at all, and I cannot manually resize it. I have also noticed that although videos will play, I can only click on their buttons if there is another smaller window overtop of firefox. The video controls will only appear that way and when I click them firefox naturally comes to the front and the video responds with the button I used but the buttons are gone again and I cannot resume playing without the smaller window back in front to make the buttons show again.
It's as if half of firefox is frozen while the other half is still running somehow.
I have no themes that could be causing this. Literally none. I only use firefox for the things that can no longer be opened in Opera so I have no need for any theme beyond default. The only addons I installed on purpose were adblockers (lord knows why. they don't DO anything.) though several other random things seem to have been installed over time to aid in one thing or another. Various plugins and players and versions of java, that sort of thing. But I have everything (and i mean EVERYTHING) in the addon menu disabled.
I have tried booting it up in safe mode (the program, not windows) and the problem is still there except now it won't show the menu bar at all unless I press the alt key first and even then it wont let me actually click on anything in the menu bar. When I try the whole bar vanishes. I had to close firefox with the task manager.
Rebooting will fix the issue for about 15 seconds before it all comes back.
Any attempts at updating have failed as it says I am already up to date on everything so I don't know what its issue is.
It's not an urgent issue right now as most of what i need to do can be done on the half screen window I am using, but some of my sites have buttons that literally vanish in anything but full screen and I imagine that this will be a much greater annoyance within a few days.

After following all the instructions given, I poked around safe websites as suggested. I am not sure why this step was needed, as websites functioned rather normally before I came here but I did it anyways and found that the websites still work the same as they did. I can still do everything I used to be able to do. I see no change in the function of the websites.
However, I still cannot resize, close, or move the browser window. I don't know if Netflix is a safe site or not (too many conflicting opinions on that one from the masses) so I don't know if the issue with the vanishing buttons is still there, but all the issues I had with the browser window itself is still there.
Even in safe mode the browsers three window control buttons on the top right refuse to let me use them and the window itself will refuse to be moved around.

How to center flash movie in browser window

Can anyone explain how to horizontally center my Flash movie in the web browser window after publishing?
A bit of background:
I was able to achieve this using <center></center> tags a few years ago. But I have since upgraded to CS5 and I understand that this old method is now obsolete.
I have found a few threads/forums that address this, but I know nothing about HTML and these threads don't help me because they assume you have more knowledge than I possess. When opening up the index.html file in Dreamweaver I can't find anything that looks vaguely familiar to what is being discussed. I have found some code samples using <div></div> tags but have no idea where to place it.
So I will need it explained to me in a step by step fashion, including which file I need to fix and what program I should use. Code samples will be very welcome if you can tell me exactly where it goes.
Thanks in advance...

Just realized that there is no scrolling functionality with the .swf generated from the new CS5. Can anyone help out by providing revised code for centering and scrolling?
I found something elsewhere in the forums that worked for both centering and scrolling that worked fine yesterday, but upon visiting my site today for testing, it did not allow the scrolling, and centering did not work in Firefox. Tested both Safari and Firefox on 2 Macs running Snow Leopard.
Again, much appreciated - nice to visit forums where people are interested in helping instead of screaming at each other. Will visit the Illustrator or Indesign forum to see if I can help out someone there...

Not able to run the mxml file (Browser window is not launching)

Hello All,
I have flex 2.0 version installed on my window xp desktop. I have created one very simple form using TextInput and Label (Like:Video 04: Using Pre Built Flex Controls) but when I am clicking on the "Run" button at top near Print icon nothing is happening and I am not able to see form in browser window( window is not launching).
I have attached the flex project screen shot. (ProjectScreen.gif)
Do anyone have any idea why it is happening.
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks & Regards,

Got It !!
I have re-installed the flex builder 2 again and now its working file.

Can I open a new browser window from a movie clickbox

Hi,
This is a last question from me, I hope. (I'm within a month
of delivery, and my boss keeps saying 'a user's asked for this or
that', but I'm meeting many of their requests with technical
obstacles. Oh dear.)
Here's the question: From a caption clickbox within a movie,
can I link to a new browser window? (I have a Help button at the
top of my movie and a user tester rightly pointed out that it
breaks them out of their movie and they can't get back. So my only
solution is to open it in a new browser window, but as I'm within
the movie, I need to link to the new window from a caption or
button, not an html page.)
If a Javascript command would work, could I get the exact
code to put in the box? I haven't been able to get any
Javascripting to work through Captivate.
If nothing works out, I'll have to scrub the Help button from
every page, but I'd rather be sure before I do it.
Thanks in advance,
Kim

Hi and thanks for both of the replies.
Phew! I love it when there's a way out of my problem! Is it
my imagination or are the options: Current, New, Parent and Top not
described in the Captivate help? What is the Parent? I would have
thought a window would have spawned a child. And I guess Top is a
new window that's always on top? Is it described in the help
anywhere beside the page I found that doesn't describe it? (I guess
so far, I've been blindly and successfully using Current.)
I assume I can't remove the toolbars on my new windw without
going through an extra link? If that's the case, I can live with
that. I wouldn't want to make the user click two links just for a
help page.
Thanks again,
Kim
PS. No wonder my Javascript never works if I can't even
notice the options!
