Opening an external Flash window from a Flash window

I'm working on a project in Flash. The project consists of
menus and sub-menus where when a menu is clicked-on, an external
Flash window opens with another menu. Please tell me how to do
this. I hope that this makes sense. Please tell me if you have any
questions if it doesn't. Thanks.

Hi michaeltowse,
This is indeed something more complicated. Let me give you
some details about the project:
This project is to be initially created in Adobe Captivate.
It consists of the main menu that is to be created in Flash (menu
1); sub-menus, which are to be created in Captivate (menu 2); and
menus of sub-menus, which are to be created in Captivate as well
(menu 3). Now, the part where I need help on is the part that goes
from sub-menus (menu 2) to menus of sub-menus (menu 3). When any
option is to be selected from the sub-menu (menu 2), a new window
is suppose to pop-up (menu 3) that is suppose to be in Flash. This
new window is suppose to be a new Flash window and is not suppose
to be opened in a browser, but it's suppose to be opened in another
Flash window (SWF window). This whole entire project is to be
executed via an embedded Flash executable. Thus all the .SWF files
that were created in either Captivate or Flash are to be tied
together via a Flash executable. I was told in Captivate's Forum
that this may be done via ActionScript in Flash and I'm wondering
whether that is that case. Please tell me if my project makes
sense.
Thank you.

Hi Simon,
This is very much a FAQ. I have an answer to it at:
http://www.fbe.unsw.edu.au/learning/director/resources/FAQ/pdf.asp
As Sean suggested, it's worth searching the group as often
questions have been covered before, and in this case, many times
before.
You can use Google to search through forums at:
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search
Or simply from the Adobe site at:

Captivate published Swf to open an external PDF file

Hi all,
I need help to open an external PDF file from the swf file.
I used this previously. But realised that I can only open the pdf file from the published html file but not the swf file.
function onClick() {
window.open("mypdf.pdf");
onClick();
Can anyone tell me what is wrong as i am not very good with javascript.
Thanks.

Lilybiri is correct that you should be able to use the Open URL or File action.
But I also just tested your JS code on my own PC here in Captivate (triggered by a button set to Execute Javascript) and it worked fine.
If you are testing this locally on your PC hard drive, have you made sure that the publish folder location is set up as a trusted location in your Flash Global Security settings? It might not be working for that reason.
You can also try uploading your SWF and PDF file to a web server and testing from there. Flash Global Security doesn't tend to bother content from a web server.

Opening an external QuickTime movie

How simple but I can't get it working. I want to open an
external mov. file from a button within Flash, exactly as you would
from an html button. you know... opens in its own window.
What would the script be for this?
Thanks
John

Sorry I'm being a bit thick here.
Does '<embed src="myMovie.mov" width="number"
height=number+16" controller="true">' go into the destinationa
html with 'number' replaced by size of movie?
I've used Golive and it's put all this quicktime Activex
stuff in but doesn't seem to work.

SSO UIDPW not working for external Popup Window but works with SAPLOGONTICK

Dear Experts,
I have an issue with SSO user mapping (UIDPW), but the same scenario is working with SAPLOGONTICKET.
Some list gets displayed in the Web Dynpro ABAP iView which has the hyperlinks where on click on the hyper link it opens a external popup window (another Web Dynpro Application) and display the summary some data.
This scenario works when I set the logon method to SAPLOGONTICKET, but when I set it as UIDPW it won't work when a new window opens on click on the hyperlink from Web Dynpro iView as stated above. It asks to login to R/3 system.
Can anyone please let me know what could be the reason it fails in External Popup window scenario when logon method as UIDPW.
Thanks
Murthy

Hi Murthy,
You can use application integrator iView to integrate your ABAP application into the portal and you'll be able to pass the variables <MappedUser>, <MappedPassword>, etc. assuming you know about the security risks in passing mapped info.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/en/36/5e3842134bad04e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Still, your ABAPers might need to handle the passed in variables in the first ABAP application and pass them onto the second one. Again, without knowing how you navigate between the 2 apps and other details about your system landscape, versions, etc. this remains as a guess. If you search SDN, you'll find many different solutions then you can choose one which is most suitable for your situation.

How do I open an encrypted flash drive from windows

How do I open a new browser window from Flash

I wish to open a new browser window from Flash and when the new window closes to return to the location from whence I started.
ThomasChen

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.

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!!

Open Link in new window on Flash Chart

Is there a way to make the link in a flash chart open in a new window?
Thanks!

Hi John,
You can use javascript to do that. An example how your query of the chart can look like:
SELECT 'javascript:popupURL(''http://www.google.com'');' LINK,
       ENAME LABEL,
       SAL VALUE

Editing swfobject.js code so hyperlinks inside the flash widget open in a new window

0down votefavorite
I have a flash calendar widget (code shown directly below) and I do not have access to anything other than the compiled .swf file (no access to .fla).
The widget contains some hyperlinks to other websites, these links are dynamic and changes based on a number of things.
There is also a corresponding swfobject.js file that is used to add functionality to the flash widget. The swfobject.js code is shown further down this post.
Currently, the way the code is now, when I click any of the hyperlinks that are available to me in the widget, the destination website that hyperlink takes me to opens in THE SAME PAGE as the flash widget which is a big problem.
I need to edit the code below so that any hyperlinks that are clicked inside of the flash widget open in a brand new browser window and do not take the user away from the original widget other than opening a new page with new content.
Because the hyperlinks that are available are always changing, the swfobject code below uses some functions and parameters.
I am hoping you can show me exactly what code I must insert, and exactly where I must insert it, in order to alter the behavior that happens so that when a user clicks one of the hyperlinks inside the flash widget, so that the content at the other end of the hyperlink opens in a new window, instead of opening in the same window.
See code below.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide

In that case, I will have no choice but to decompile the .swf to get the .fla because the original .fla is un-obtainable. Unless there is a way to edit the contents of the .swf file without decompiling it.
I can see the code inside via various decompile tools and it seems that I would need to add the equivalent of <src target=_blank> to some of the lines I have shown below.
obj_xml.load(appurl + "loadconfig.aspx?calendarid=" + calendarid); -- need to edit this so it opens in a new window using something similar to target = _blank
dest_page = appurl + "default.aspx"; -- need to edit this so it opens in a new window using something similar to target = _blank
I know a lot of decompile tools can get you the code and the .fla but once you edit and re-compile and attempt to replace the original with the new & updated file, the decompiler did not necessarily generate the properly formatted flash pro project file, so compiling it back into an operational .swf often ends in failure.
Do you know or can you recommend a tool that has a very good track record of re-compiling the decompiled modified.fla into a workable and usable .swf?

I keep getting an error window about java since I updated to firefox 8, my tabs will flash, tabs will close and open in a new window, everything stops working, firefox is non responsive, please help

Since I upgraded to firefox 8, I get this error window that pops up says something about java. My tabs flicker or flash, the tabs will close and open in a new window then everything stops. Then firefox does not respond. When I get this error message, I have to close all tabs wait a few seconds then open it back up it will work for a little while and then do the same thing. I have disabled plug-ins that I do not use, I have cleared my cache and cookies, I am not happy at all with this new version. I waited a while before updating. The first time I was going to update, firefox would not let me keep my anti-virus plug-in. PLEASE HELP

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

1. Because they're using Android or iOS and can't see the Flash container.
2. Because they have Flash Player, but NOT Shockwave, which works for Interactive content like games and links in Flash containers.
3. ActiveX controls are blocking Flash content in IE.
4. Any of about a dozen other things.
As a web desginer since 2003, I can tell you that these days, it's a terrible idea to have Flash content in a website (outside of games that require it). Video should be HTML5. Navigation, content and other links should be HTML, CSS and/or Javascript ONLY, because placing them in a Flash container makes them invisible to literally half of your viewers or more, since SmartPhones can't and don't see Flash, and tablets don't either without special browsers, which may or may not work with embedded links.
