//to minimize
on (release) {
popupwindow2.gotoAndStop("minimize");
}
//to close
on (release) {
popupwindow2._visible = false;
}


if popupwindow2 is on another time line, you may have to say _root.popupwindow2._visible = false or whatever the path is to that window... make sense?

tellTarget ("/") {

Which version of Flash are you using, tellTarget has been depreciated (just FYI).

tellTarget(target:String, statement(s))
Deprecated since Flash Player 5. Macromedia recommends that you use dot (.) notation and the with statement.

thanks for the answer.

ok the minimizer button now works only with that script

gotoAndStop("minimize");
}

but the close button desnt work at all

i tried with bote the root one and without root as you told me

please do you have any suggestions to help me

thank you

[ushka]

Wait are you using AS3.0 or AS2.0?
CS3 has both.

For AS3, you're in the wrong forum?

If you're using AS2 and you save as Flash 8 then post your files, I'll take a look...

[hanbok]

yes i use actionscript 2.0 and save as flash 8

but still the close button desnt work

i tried so many times nothing

any other suggestions for the script

Reply with the files attached to your post and I can take a look.
Or look at the example I just posted here...

You can try:

on (release) {
_parent._visible = false;
}

not sure if this is the issue, but for the drag code, if you're treating the entire popup as a button (which it looks like you are from the top code) for dragging, and the two buttons are nested inside the popup, then the buttons won't work because you can't nest buttons inside of each other in AS 2. The top most button in the hierarchy takes precedence.

I know AS3 does not use "tellTarget" ;)

hi

thank you very much for all the answers

i tried all examples but nothing

this script works

on (release) {
_parent._visible = false;
}

but close everything on the stage,other buttons,images,all.
i just would like that it close only the popup window.

only i need is the CLOSE button.

i am attaching the example file here on which ,when we press play Quicktime, appear the popup window.

change this line
_root.popupwindow2._visible = false;

with this line
_parent.popupwindow2._visible = false;

[hanbok]

thanks that works perfect.

:cool:

just one last thing

because the popup window plays a short animation(there is a flv file embedded into the popup window with sound

wnen i close it with that script the sound still continue to play
so how can I stop all that when the window close,please?

the script on the button that start the animaion and the popup is:

on (release) {
nextFrame();
}
on (release) {
setProperty("popupwindow2", _visible, "1");
}


so maybe to stop it will be to go to the previous frame,or?

thank you again so much

[crazydev]

you have alter your script to play that flv file
I dont know where u've put that code

you have to close you NetStream in order to close that sound or just set volume to 0.
can you point out where you have placed your code to play flv file so that i can exactly point out how to stop that


Sorry i just have a look on your fla again you have to call

_parent..popupwindow2.cont.videoPlayer.stop();

where videoPlayer is instance name for your flvplayback component but have not set instance name so far replace this name what ever you to be
cheers
