Opening two windows with "_blank" rather than one...

While setting up external links, I am finding that every time
I have the link open in a new (_blank) window, two windows will
open up with the same link rather than one. I guess two is better
than none, but does anyone know why this is happening? And also how
to fix the problem? I tried using _parent and it does the same
thing. I'm new at flash but understand the principles, though is
there something I'm missing?

I know of no reason why that would happen other than having
the getURL, LoadVars or whatever being called twice - e.g once with
an onPress and then again with onRelease or something like that.
If you want someone to look at your relevant code, feel free
to post it here using the attach Code button (if you don't do it
this way then the formatting of your code can get messed up).

    Photoshop only has one Color Palette.  If you could script something  like a Color Palette with  two sets of active sliders the script would be in control till you dismissed its sliders dialog.  You would not be able to do anything but adjust the script's sliders in Photoshop while the script dialog window is being displayed.  Photoshop Scripting does not have real palette dialog type support.

    Did you recently reinstall the OS then copy all your files back over? Do a Get info on one of the documents and see if your current UserName is listed and has Read & Write permissions. If not select the Documents folder and check that for Read & Write permissions for your UserName. If it doesn't have R & W permissions Add it so it does.

    That is a quirk of Pagesthat  it applies only one record per page.

  • Want to be able to open tabs in multiple rows, rather than in a single row. I used tab mix plus before, but it says it is not compatible with New tab Homepage. The older version of Firefox allowed this very easily.

  • Terminal won't stop opening two windows.

    Every time I open Terminal, it opens two windows. One window has a bunch of text at the top that appears to be old commands(perhaps that I had typed? I don't remember all that I've typed into Terminal since the beginning of time ) in grey and then the normal Terminal prompt in the usual green(that's the theme I have) after all the text. The second window is in a fullscreen space thingy(Lion's mission control interface) and it looks similar except the text is different and there is a LOT more of it.
    I'm not quite sure what to do to make this stop. I've tried deleting the plist file for Terminal. I've tried restarting the computer. I've tried closing both windows, opeing a new one, positioning how I'd like it posistioned, then quitting Terminal by holding alt/option and cliking "Quit and Keep All Windows" from the Terminal menu.
    Is there a place where there are setting files for an app's window positions/defaults?
    It may also be good to mention, as it seems possibly relevant, that every time I open iPhoto, it opens in a fullscreen space much like the second Terminal window. I've tried similar things on iPhoto to get IT to stop doing this.
    Thanks for any help!

    Okay, so I actually found a solution to the problem!
    I cannot claim it as my own since I found it on another discussion page as well as CNET, but I'll post what I did here for others to see.
    The two helpful pages were:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20083707-263/managing-mac-os-x-lions-applic ation-resume-feature/
    and
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15859853#15859853
    What I did was:
    1. Enable "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" under General in System Preferences(I don't know for sure if this is necessary, but it seemed harmless with my new found knowledge as you'll see in a moment)
    2. Navagate to "~/Library/Saved Application State/" in Finder
    3. Find the folder named "com.apple.Terminal.savedState"
    4. Move it to the trash
         This resets the state that the application uses to open each time it opens, when you open it now, it'll recreate the folder
    5. Launch Terminal
    6. Open the Get Info dialog for the newly created "com.apple.Terminal.savedState" and tick the "Lock" checkbox
         This prevents the contents of the folder from being changed, resultantly preventing ONLY Terminal from saving the state of it's windows on closing.
    Not only did this solve THIS problem, but it opened up some cool options:
    -By Locking any of these folders, one can keep a sort of template for how they'd like the windows of an application to open every time.
    -One can leave on the "Reopen windows" preference but select applications for which they do not wan't it to work. It is a semi useful feature, and I can understand why it was added, it just seems like an oversigt that it was only a global or no feature.
    -One can reset the window options of any trouble making apps in the future.
    Note: This also solved the problem I was having with iPhoto!

  • Multiple problems: can't open two windows, browser doesn't close although window disappears, and after working for a while I loose my ability to cut and paste or use drop down arrows

    Maybe two weeks ago I discovered that I could no longer open two windows at a time (I can still open multiple tabs). I am also having problems with cutting and pasting, which is crucial to my on-line job. Plus, when I exit Firefox, it doesn't always shut down, so then when you go to re-open, of course, it won't (unless you go into process and turn it off). I have re-installed multiple times and I have also used restore. Nothing seems to be fixing this and I really, really don't want to use IE, especially for work.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Sometimes clicking on a workitem opens two windows

    Hi,
    some users of our Netweaver portal reports an issue with their universal worklist.
    Sometimes, apparently randomly, clicking on a workitem opens two windows instead of just one.
    Is there some known bugs related to some browser settings or something similar? (we use Internet Explorer 8)
    Thank you,
    Pietro

    Hi Pietro,
    I could not found on the SAP Known cases databese, a similar case lake that. However ther eis some tests you can do to try to isolate the issue:
    1) Ask the users to set their Ie8 to compatibility view.
    2)  Ask the user to try to reproduce in other desktop, with this we could isolate the the issue seems to be on the browser configurarion.
    3) Try to apply the following notes to guarantee the cynchronization of all user: #1086644 ,#1016283 and #710663
    4) ALso its alway safer be on the latest patch of component UWLJWF.
    Best Regards,

  • Why does FF open two windows when I open it? Why can't I close the second window without closing FF altogether?

    After FF automatically updated it started opening two windows whenever I start FF. One window has the open tabs from my previous session and the other window has only the FF home page open in one tab, nothing else. I can't close either window without shutting FF down altogether. I have limited RAM (3GB), running Mac Lion, which eats up a lot of resources and now FF eats up the rest. It's a real pain in the ass.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • How import prior Backed-Up Fox Favorities in multiple sub-folders rather than one at a time in Fox 6.0

    How do you import prior Backed-Up Fox Favorities. This involved many short-cuts and contained in multiple sub-folders.
    How can I import the whole folder library rather than one short-cut at a time from each folder.

    The favorites shortcuts were not IE but from Firefox. I had a operating system failure. So, after re-installing the operating system, I then had to re-install all applications anew.
    After installing Fox 6.0, the problem is my prior use of folders and sub-folders with many favorites shortcuts in each.
    It appears that I will need to start anew with creating a folder system in the new firefox application. Then take all of the favorites shortcuts, individually, out of folders and put them in a file in a row, in an antilog fashion. Then try to get Firefox to accept them in some fashion.
    I also do not know how to (1) export IE Favorites (2) in IE (3) to an HTML?
    I am just lost.

  • I am receiving a lot of pop-up ads on website pages. It has only recently started happening. They open new windows with ads for online gambling, online dating and other things. They are annoying and I want them shut off. Please help me

    I have recently started seeing millions of pop-up ads on website pages. It is not something that normally happens. They open new windows with ads for online gambling, online dating among other things. I am growing sick and tired of these ads, and have tried multiple things. I have uninstalled and reinstalled software, I have blocked pop-up ads and unenabled Java script. I have tried everything I could find, but nothing has worked. I have even downloaded AdBlock and Clean Genius. Nothing has even remotely changed this annoying trait. I hope this can be a quick fix I can perform and not something that will have to be done by a tech-hand. Please, if you know anything about this issue, let me know how to fix it.
    Thanks.
