RE: FLASH: Popup window called out of flash - help

[Davis]

Hi,

You will need to do two things. First create a getUrl from flash. In

the address field enter "javascript:launchwin('mypage.html' ,

'newwindow' , 'width=500,height=500,menubar=no')" . This will give

the command to the javascript you will need to embed in your html

page. This code is here:

<!--

               Popup Window -->



               <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> var javascript_version =

1.0;</SCRIPT>

               <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1">  javascript_version =

1.1;</SCRIPT>



               <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">


               var newwin;


               function launchwin(winurl,winname,winfeatures)

               {

                       //This launches a new window and then

                       //focuses it if window.focus() is supported.

                       newwin = window.open(winurl,winname,winfeatures);

                       if(javascript_version > 1.0)

                       {

                               //delay a bit here because IE4 encounters

errors

                               //when trying to focus a recently opened

window

                               setTimeout('newwin.focus();',250);

                       }

               }

               </SCRIPT>


Hope this helps:
