Open specific sized browser window from Flash

Can anyone tell me what the script is to make a button open a
specific sized browser window with another flash file in it?
http://www.partnerscreative.net/Test/BMS
this link shows the banner that will be on the sites
homepage, when you click on anything but the pdf link I want it to
open the linked flash file into a browser window sized specifically
to 720 x 600 pixels.
Please help.
Thank you.

The command to open a new window would be the "_blank" part of a command to link to a web page in the code below.
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.anothersite.com", "_blank"));
As far as the new window closing and getting back to where you were in the original window, I don't understand where that original window might have gone to... You should be wherever you last left it.

Opening a new browser window from flash

Does anyone know of a method fo opening a link in a new
window in firefox from within flash that isn't blocked by the popup
blocker. It seems like the security in FF 2.0.0.6 (I'm on 2.0.0.11)
has been tightened to prevent any _blank or window.open calls from
flash getting through. I've tried the standard getURL, fscommand
and ExternalInterface call to a javascript window.open method.
Nothing now works.
I understand the need for the popup blockers, but this is a
legitimate popup only invoked on user interaction (click) - the
same window.open call in an onClick event outside of flash works
fine and I guess it is blocked from within flash because there is
no way of knowing if the call is invoked from user interaction or
automatically - but seems a shame.
So any other way of getting a new browser window to open from
within flash in firefox?

Use target="_blank" in your form declaration.<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="someAction" TARGET="_blank">The _blank keyword tells the browser to load the results in a new window.
If you need more control over your window (size, address bar, etc.) you'll need to use javascript.<SCRIPT>
function submitForm(windowName){
   newWin = window.open("",windowName, "menubar=no,resizable=no,...");
   document.myForm.target = windowName;
   document.myForm.submit();
</SCRIPT>
<FORM NAME="myForm" METHOD=POST ACTION="some.jsp" TARGET="">
<INPUT TYPE=BUTTON VALUE="Submit" onclick="submitForm();">
</FORM>

How can I open a new browser window from UIX?

I need to open a new browser window from an event handler. How that can be done? HELP!
Thanks!
Martin Patrici

HTML doesn't really let you do this on the server side; the client is in charge
of creating new windows, not the server.
If you know that clicking a certain link/button, etc. will always raise a new window,
then you should use Javascript or "targetFrame" accordingly.
If the decision will only be made on the server side, then you could reload the current
window, only this time use an "onLoad" on the <body> to raise a window.

How to open a separate browser window from Captivate 2.0

Hello Captivators,
Thanks for a very responsive forum. I participate in an Adobe
Flash forum as well and never get a response to any questions.
I would like to know if I can open a new browser window in
from a Captivate presentation, without killing the Captivate
session.
Thanks,
eholz1

You can, but without creating a custom widget in Flash, the
user must click to make it happen.
The easiest way is to add a button to your slide and in the
button properties:
On success: Open URL or file
URL: <enter the URL to open>
URL Window (down arrow button to the right of the URL field):
New
If you don't want the slide to remain paused after the user
clicks, deselect the Continue playing project option at the bottom
of the URL Window dropdown.

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.

Hi,
I am picking up records from the database and displaying each record in a seperate text area field using the JSP code. I should be able to display the content ( available in the text area) in a seperate window if the user clicks on one icon.
Is it possible to open a new browser window using JSP? If yes, how can I write information on the new browser window?

How can I open the Wndows Browse window from forms..

Open a browser window from flash actionscript 2 in safari or firefox

I am having a problem. I found the actionscript 2 code to open a browser window, but it is not working in Safari, or Firefox. I found an old action script 1 file version 5 for the flash player that works just fine, but I am using 8 and actionscript 2 so that doesn't work for me.
Any body have any idea how I can do this?

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!

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

Opening a new browser window from a JSP

Hi,

Opening a seperate browser window from a chart

I'm trying to link two applications (one is not Apex) by passing a series of values on the URL. I have a process that generates the URL link. I want the new app to open in a new window, I've tried to use the various javascript pop up functions (including html_PopUp).
Unfortunately, once the list of URL values gets very long (4-5 items) the script seems to fail. I've used the same value in a plain HTML link and it works fine.
Any ideas of why this would be happening? Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks
Paul
P.S. Also, I noticed that the Anychart XML has a "Target" Attribute for the Set, any expectation of this being utilized by Apex soon?

Paul,
What happens when "the script seems to fail"? It works in this example (http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=37848:30) for a pretty long URL.

How to open a new browser window from a link on the navigation bar

Hi,
I entered a URL in the 'URL Target' field for the Navigation Bar Entry. As expected when the I clicked on the link in the Navigation Bar my browser refreshed with the target URL.
I want to be able to actually open a new window rather than refresh my current window. The help text says, and I quote ...
"In the link generated for this icon include the following onClick javascript. Use of the onclick javascript could popup a help page in a new window (see example 1).
Example 1:
window.open('US/asfhhome.htm','Help','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=625,height=350,left=25,top=150');return false
Set the Icon Target attribute to # if you are using OnClick JavaScript. Set the Image Alt Text attribute to the text the user will see to click on."
So I created similar Javascript as to the example and placed in the 'OnClick Javascript' field, and placed a '#' in the 'URL Target' field.
When I run it doesn't work, the '#' is picked up and the Javascript is ignored. Can somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks

I had the same problem. I finally ended up just using the standard popupURL javascript. In the URL Target I have:
javascript:popupURL('<link>')
This opens a new window but since it is for popups the menus are missing. You may want to write your own javascript function to open the new window with your own settings.
Search the forums for popupURL for more ideas.
javascript:popupURL()
