Re: FLASH: Javascript help

[Neal Cabage]

Are you planning to evoke this JavaScript with an FScommand?  I missed the

first email.  If so, be warned that MSIE 4.5 doesn't do FS commands.

Further, you'll need to write a client-side VBscript routine to trigger the

JS routine that captures the FScommand event.  Much easier to just keep it

within Flash as much as possible.

Well, if this is the *exact* syntax of the code you have you are missing one

little piece of text that you need to define the function... a "{"

Functions are defined as:

function function_name(args)

{ file://begin function here

file://function code goes here

file://end function here

}


Well, that and you are missing a doublequote in the 'features' section of

the window.open statement.

You need a doublequote between the comma and the 't' in toolbar (ie.

"...name","tool...")


HTH,

<script language="JavaScript">

<!-- function newWindow()


window.open("http://members.home.com/advantagewebsolutions/singles/thisisit.

htm","windowname",toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,height=350,width=600");

 } // -->


</script>


after </title> and before </head> in my HTML page with my main Flash movie.

Within Flash, I put


javascript:newWindow()


in the URL window of the GetURL action and left the "window" box blank for a

resultant code of:


On (Release)

    Get URL ("javascript:newWindow()")

End On


Can't check it in IE because I'm using the 5.5 beta & javascript isn't

working with that.  Netscape gives me javascript error


"JavaScript Error: [unknown origin]:

newWindow is not defined. "
