New browser window?

lvalesko · 01-19-2001, 07:13 AM

I'd like to be able to have a button in my Flash movie open a new browser window containing a plain 'ol html page. I don't want the new browser window to have anything but scrollbars and I want to be able to control the size of the new browser window. I tried tutorial #5 "Spawning external browser windows" but all I got was a new browser window with all of the javascript in the address bar. When I copied and pasted the code like it said there were lots of weird spaces PLUS I wasn't exactly sure WHERE to paste the code.

Can someone please help!?

Thanks,
Lori

You can use this way

In HTML in "HEAD tag" add following code:
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

Now for the action to the Flashed Button

Get url JavaScript

penWindow("your.html","100","250")

Strok,

Is the spacing in the javascript critical? Does the code in my html have to look EXACTLY like the code you shared with us - weird spaces and all?

Also, where do you put the window attributes such as size, scrollbars, etc??

Thanks,
LV

Sorry everyone, I've founda flaw in the tutorial. i obviously pasted the code incorrectly.
See it working
Get the source

The code generator works fine but the HTML you should put between your head tags is this:

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

I'll fix up the tutorial today. Thanks for pointing it out!

Cheers

Jesse

When I open a new window with javascript, and set "location='no'", it merely makes the Address Bar unselectable and unchangeable.

I would like to be able to hide the Address Bar completely - is this possible?
