flash help - UGN Security Forum

i am just learning flash, and i needed help on doing something. i have a button in a scene, that has the action "getURL". i was wondering if i can specify the size and properties of a new window that the link is supposed to open, sort of like javascript:

Code

 <A HREF="#" onClick="window.open('intro.html', 'intro',
config='height=400,width=500,toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no')">Click To Open</A>

is it possible to have this same function using the actionscript:

Code

 on (release) {
    getURL("intro.html", "_blank");
}

any help would be greatly appreciated.. thanks

I THINK (i'm probably wrong) that you'd do:

Code

on (release) {
   getURL("intro.html", "_blank", "height=400", "width=400");
}

I'm not too sure, been a long time since I actually played with flash

.

hmm nope syntax error.. thanks anyway.. anyone else?

Odd lol, see told you that its been a while

... Search google for "Flash getURL Height" or something

...

i think in swish, you can call a javascript function. so if you had the javascript in the page it would work

i did a little search, and i found out when you edit the action in flash mx, where it says URL you just put in like...

Code

 javascript:openNewWindow('intro.html','intro','height=400,width=500,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no')

so yeah.. well thanks for the help

[censored], i was close!

ok this must seem utterly retarded of me, but how exactly would one make like a scrollbar for text in flash? after you're done laughing at me please do help

that's what i'de do. I just used swish 2.0 and it does everything for you. it's not an expensive program either

i would just make a simple motion tween that loops

so the text scrolls across the screen then put in an action.
goto frame 1
and it would repeate.
