execution of javascript from a flash button

[kurthurst]

I am trying to execute a javascript function in the head of my page from a flash button.

Is this possible. I have tried fscommand with no luck.

Specifically i am using a .swf file as my navigaion bar for my website. I would like one of my buttons to open a new window that I a have determined the size and possition of.

Any help would be great.

Hi,

You can use a Javascript call directly from the getURL method to open a sized window directly from a flash button.....

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('http://ntdesigns.net','newWin','width=400,height=300,left=200,top=200,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=Yes,status=No,resizable=Yes,fullscreen=No');  NewWindow.focus();      void(0);");
}

Edit**** The above should be a single line of code. Many forum boards have trouble parseing JS code.

If you have lots of buttons that will open JS pop up windows, it might be better to write a function and call it from a button.......

function launchNewWin(url,wdth,hdth,windowNewName){
if(windowNewName==undefined){
var windowNewName="newWin";
}
getURL
("javascript:window.open(\""+url+"\",\""+windowNewName+"\",\"width="+wdth+",heig
ht="+hdth+",top=\"+((screen.availHeight/2)-("+hdth/2+"))+\",left=\"+((screen.ava
ilWidth/2)-("+wdth/2+"))); void(0);");
}

Just declare it on frame1 of your flash movie and whenever you want to launch a new window, just write....

_root.launchNewWin("myUrl.htm", 550,400,"myNewWindow");
