pop ups in projector

[jonashenning]

Hi

I was wondering if there's a way to pop up a windows from flash inside a '.exe'.

Or this thing just works on swf's placed in html?

Hi,

Projectors work differently from .swf files in a HTML page.
When you want to open a popup window from a swf in the HTML page you probably use a Javascript that is embedded in the HTML page.

If you use for example getURL("javascript:openPopup()") from your projector it will open your default browser trying to look for your openPopup javascript function. So you can't use this method.

I don't know of any workaround. So if anyone has a solution I'd like to here about it too?

Hi,
I was also wondering about that because I made a web and a cd-rom version of my portfolio.

The way mine worked is I had my main Portfolio.Exe and with fscommand("exec", "popup.exe") I opened other projectors

NOTE: If you are working with MX you must place your(popup) files in a folder called fscommand and call the files in flash as "file.exe"(not as 'fscommand/file.exe').
I lost a few hours messing around till I came here and found out why my thing didn't work.
