RE: FLASH: Inserting variable into Javascript command

[Eric Dunham]

Try and run it through a separate function, like

function launchWin(sample)

{

	window.open(sample, 'newwindow', 'height=350,width=350');

}


with "javascript:launchwin(sample)" in your GetURL statement...


Or you could try and run it through an eval statement like,


javascript:eval("window.open(\'" +sample+ "\', \'newwindow\',

\'height=350,width=350\')");


Even though I don't usually like popup windows (so I don't really deal with

them), I think that code should work...


HTH,

I've tried that, but the problem is that now the Javascript doesn't work.

It needs the single

quote marks around the file name.  I've tried making those a part of the

variable, but with no

better success.

variable.

want.
