How to open a swf in a new window

I have a button in one swf that I'd like to open another swf
in a new window. What's the easiest way to accomplish this task?

Open swf in new windows at specific points on the timeline

Let me start by saying that I am a newbie to Flash. I have created a Flash site and I want to create links that would open a SWF in a new window at specific points on its' the timeline. How can I do this?

It depends what version of actionscript you're using, but if you are familiar with linking to other pages using buttons, you use the same linking code, getURL (AS2) or navigateToURL (AS3), and specify "_blank" as the window parameter in the arguments for whichever you use. So if you are using AS2, then in your timeline where you want a new window to open you would have....
getURL("yourfile.html", "_blank");

Open swf in new window from parent swf

I'm making a gallery for some flash banners that I had
created in AS3. When I click on a "launch" button, I wanted the
flash banner swf to open in a new window separate from the parent
swf (the gallery). I also wanted the parent swf to remain open.
Is this possible and what would the code look like for
something like this?

ok, I should've also mentioned this, the flash gallery I'm
making is not for the web, it's more for just opening in a flash
player. So I don't really want it to open in a new browser window,
but rather a new swf window, if there is such a thing.

Loading external swf file in a new window

Hi,
I've got a few .swf files with video tutorials I've created using Captivate 4.
I wanted to link them so I've created a main screen with menu with buttons in Flash.
I've added AS to load the external swf files but they load in the same window. How can I load these .swf files in seperate window so that you could get back to the main window after you've finished watching?
Here's my code:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movie1_1);
function movie1_1(e:MouseEvent):void
    var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("01_01_Welcome.swf");
    myLoader.load(myURL);
    addChild(myLoader);
I'm also attaching screenshot with menu in flash

I've deleted the line and now the code lookes like that:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movie1_1);
function movie1_1(e:MouseEvent):void
    var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("01_01_Welcome.swf");
    addChild(myLoader);
Unfortunately, it doesn't load the .swf file when you click on the button...

Opening a SWF inside a new IE windows

From my main project (SWF), I have a button that opens
another movie (SWF). How I can force the second movie to run in a
new IE windows ? currenlty it replaces the main project windows
?

Hi lestab
In your button properties, to the right of where you typed
the link is a button with a down arrow. Click it and you will find
an option for forcing the link into a new window. Notice that once
you do this, another option becomes enabled. The opton is found at
the bottom and requires you to click the button a second time to
turn it off and on. This second option is "Continue playing
project".

How make a button open a .swf file in a new window?

well you can publish the the other FLA, which would give you
an HTML file, upload that and the SWF then link to the SWFs' HTML
page.

Load and open swf in new window

Hi everyone,
I have 2 flex applications named login and game. When the user logged in, I want the login swf to load the game swf and open it in a new window once it finished loading. I tried popup manager and title window but they only made the swf popped up INSIDE the app itself (which is the login swf). What I really want is to be able to load and open the game swf in a brand new popup window.
Please help. Thanks.

Loggin in is a classic example of when to use states.
The base state will be your app, and the "login" state will be your login state. Set the application currentState to 'login' in the creationComplete event.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
creationComplete="this.currentState='login'">
<mx:states>
    <mx:State name="login">
      <mx:RemoveChild target="{vb}"/>
      <mx:AddChild>
        <mx:Form>
          <mx:FormHeading label="Login"/>
          <mx:FormItem label="Username:">
            <mx:TextInput/>
          </mx:FormItem>
          <mx:FormItem label="Password:">
            <mx:TextInput displayAsPassword="true"/>
          </mx:FormItem>
          <mx:FormItem>
            <mx:Button label="Login" click="this.currentState=''"/>
          </mx:FormItem>
        </mx:Form>
      </mx:AddChild>
    </mx:State>
</mx:states>
<mx:VBox id="vb" width="100%" height="100%">
    <mx:Label text="Login Done - Now in Main App"/>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Application>

Trying to get an .swf link to display in a new window

Hi everyone,
I recently received some links to Captivate videos for a
webhelp project I'm working on (RH Office X5.02). I can link from a
topic to the .aspx wrapper file and get the wrapper with the
associated flash files to display in a separate window without any
problem.
However, when I try do the same thing (get the link to open
in a new window) by linking directly to one of the .swf files
associated with the wrapper, RoboHelp tells me I can't do it. The
Flash file displays within the content pane, the text appears much
smaller (but not illegible), and since it didn't resize to fit
within the pane, the information on the right of the video appears
"cut off". Fortunately, most of the information appears to be on
the left side. I would REALLY like to get this Flash file to open
in a separate window.
Any ideas on this one? My Captivate expert suggested that I
could try linking to the .htm file that's associated with the .swf,
and I'm going to try that next, if no one else has any ideas.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi all
@Jim - You might want to do this by using a Redirect page.
Since the redirect is a HTML page, you could then open it in a new
window as desired. Then the redirect handles opening the .SWF.
@Cindi - Actually, inserting Captivate content in RoboHelp
topics is quite simple. You just click the Captivate icon in your
toolbar (or click Insert > Captivate) and point at the .SWF
Captivate created. RoboHelp will then create the appropriate code
to insert the Captivate into your existing page.
To both/all - Captivate normally creates a few different
files when it creates output. Another approach is to simply import
the Captivate created HTML page designed to present the Captivate
content. Then link to it as you would any other HTML page in
RoboHelp.
The links below may help. Although they were created when
RoboHelp X5 and Captivate 2 were dominant, most of what they cover
still applies.

Link
two

Open new Window and SWF conversion to DVD player

Hi flash forum,
I need help with 2 things:
1. I have an html link that opens a .swf flash movie in a
full window. I need the flash movie to open as a new window so when
the user closes out, they're not closing out of the entire site.
Can you send me the instructions for this?
2. I need to convert a .swf flash movie so it will play on a
standard home DVD player.
Can this be done?
Many thanks for the help!

Hello, we have the same problem. I fixed it by doing this:
<hcommandButton value="#{messages['srt.return.label']}" action="#{myBean.returnPage}" immediate="true" onclick="this.form.target='_self'" />^ The code above will remain in the same window.
<h:commandButton value="#{messages['srt.export.label']}" action="#{myBean.excelExport}" immediate="true" onclick="this.form.target='_blank'"/>^ The code above will open a new window and display the data
Hope that helps :) I don't know if that's the best solution out there, but it will work :)
Note the usage of targets, blank will open a new window while self will stay in the same window :)

Open link in a new window in XML feeding SWF file

Current XML link code is:
<div><a href='#'>Diamonds</a></div>
<div class='submenu'>
<div><a href='http://www.gabrielny.com/gabriel.php'>Earrings and necklaces</a></div>
Will it open in a new window if I just add target= '_blank' with single quotes in the XML file?
Like <a href='http://www.gabrielny.com/gabriel.php' target= '_blank'>Earrings and necklaces</a>
Menu is same as on http://www.peattiecapital.com/
Thanks as ever.

My proposed link code in XML file worked just fine.

Captivate 5.5 published files are not visible in Fire Fox or open in new window.

When I publish and post Captivate 5.5, the HTML or the swf files do not display in Fire Fox (latest version) without forcing the file to open in a new window (if it displays at all). If it does work, the Flash security blocks the swf on an ugly view until the user clicks.
I thought it was because I have to assign a direct URL to each component, but all of the other Captivate sites I have reviewed have the same issue when viewing in Fire Fox.
IE will display after the active x is authorized (I can live with that).
You Tube and other Flash display properly in Fire Fox, just not Captivate products.
I have disabled off all plugins, modified the protected settings, and everything I could find listed in the Fire Fox help. I have installed a previous version of Flash and Shockwave Player. Short of reinstalling windows, it is not working and that will not help because the published content is not visible on any other machine in the office or at home.
The files are in a Portal, so I cannot share them unless you are in the DoD and have an AKO or DKO account.
However, here is another example of the Captivate not working.
https://clc.dau.mil/games (this displays on some computers, but not all)
http://www.hartisd.net/pages/uploaded_files/Assignment_Search.mht (After allowing the mht, this displays in IE)
I am not sure if it has something to do with the other 2 published xml files that are not directly referenced in the html, but I just need either the swf or html to display in the iframe without forcing another window to display and without a lot of dependecy issues with other add-ons in Fire Fox.
- Thanks!

Any of the DAU games, if they display. It is a government site, so they have the standard gov garbage (stuff not working like certificates), but nothing is harmful nor can they do anything to track other than the current session.
It is kind of weird how the content is displayed... It is not an intranet, it goes to a limited access portal. When I store content, it uses an absolute path instead of relative path. Very aggrevating when using many of the tools for non-programmers (like me), and probably more aggrevating for programmers.
Whether I point directly to the .swf or to the generated HTML, the content displays in IE, but not in FF.
It may be a combination of FF and Captivate. FF seems rather flaky in dealing with swf files. There is the consideration for add-ons, but I tried on a newly imaged computer and it still was not working. Even after going through all of the FF steps to get it to work.
Basically we had to create a new HTML file to display the content because the Captivate published files don't work. However, the new HTML does not reference the XML files.
When I publish, I get 5 different files, .swf, .htm, .js, and 2 .xml. When I dig through the code (once again, not a programmer, soo I may be missing something), even round tripping to Flash, I do not see how the .xml files are referenced at all.
These may be different topics, not sure, it came up because I am trying to get a simple solution from the product that can be easily transferred to our production servers and available for Solders to access.
- Thanks
Michael

I can not open one more new window of FF by double-clicking on FF icon

I can open only 1 browser window FF
I want to open another.
- I can open by selecting NEW WINDOW from the file menu. It's normal.
- But I can't open by double-clicking on FF icon. The message happens in this case: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
Before double-clicking on FF, I checked processs at Task Manager and just one process "firefox.exe" is running.
I try many ways to troubleshoot this problem such as:
- install FF again
- run safe mode
- Update all add-on
- add new profile in Profile manager and run with new one
- I follow the anwser of post: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/770203
But can't fix this problem.
I'm looking forward to your earliest reply
Thank so much

There is the Free iTube Grabber which can capture almost any audio and/or video stream (it says here) but only works with Intel Macs.
http://itube-grabber.en.softonic.com/mac
Firefox Download Helper is also supposed to work, you have to be logged into YouTube first.
There is also iTubeX which allows you to download videos (Flash, HTML5 and others), .mp3 and .swf files from almost every website as easily as possible:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27604/itubex
Lastly: How to download Flash videos and play them in Quicktime using Perian is explained here:
http://perian.org/#watch
It's the video at the bottom of the page.
Last but not least (as some of the above may not work with Snow Leopard or Lion) there is the 'pwn trick':
For example, the full youtube site for your movie is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC2XIGMI ... e=youtu.be
As soon as the movie starts, pause it and add 'pwn' in front of the youtube part of the url so it looks like this:
http://www.pwnyoutube.com/watch?v=bC2XI ... e=youtu.be
Hit Return and then follow the instructions.

How to open a .SWF in the same window (similar to online photo galleries)?

I have a .swf I want my users to be able to open, but without
opening a new window.
I'm sure you all have seen this effect. In a photo gallery,
the user clicks a thumbnail, the screen darkens, a white box
resizes to the size of the larger image and the full-size image
loads...all without opening a new window. I'd like to do the same
with a .swf. Does anyone know how this is done or could you point
me to a good tutorial? Thanks.

Are you wanting to open your .swf from an HTML page:
