Popups in flash button

[guesti]

Hi there...

I'm trying to put a link on a flash button on my webside for a chat, and i would like to open the chat applet in a popups for secure reasons.

Anyways, i'll tried to put this code on it, but is not working.

on (release)
{
getURL("javascript:newWin=void(window.open('Chat/index.htm','newWin','resizable=0,status=0,menubar= 0,toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,directories=0, width=950,height=650,top=60,left=60'))");

}

I know that i can open it on other ways like this

on (release)
{
getURL("http://www.mywebside.com/chat/index.htm", "_blank");
}

But i would either like to open it in a Popups.

Please help me.... Thank you in advance!!!!

Hi,
The problem is ...... new window=void... try this.....

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('Chat/index.htm','newWin','width=950,height=650,left=60,top=60,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');  NewWindow.focus();      void(0);");
}

Hi,

Most forum boards have a difficult time displaying javascript code. The code example above should be a single line of code in Flash. If you copy and paste it the way the forum board posts it, it wont work. Another method is to define a pop up function in the flash movie and call the function to initiate the pop up....

function launchNewWin(url, wdth, hdth, windowNewName) {
	if (windowNewName == undefined) {
		var windowNewName = "newWin";
	}
	getURL("javascript:window.open(\""+url+"\",\""+windowNewName+"\",\"width="+wdth+",height="+hdth+",top=\"+((screen.availHeight/2)-("+hdth/2+"))+\",left=\"+((screen.availWidth/2)-("+wdth/2+"))); void(0);");
}
//*******Notice********
//the getURL method using javascript should be a single line of code. 
//forum boards often post this incorrectly formatted

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

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

hope it helps
