Re: FLASH: Javascript help

[Ben Park]

Hi

I had a go at this myself, and couldn't get it to work.

I thought that you had to do it in Flash like this -


On (Release)

    Get URL ("javascript:newWindow

(http://members.home.com/advantagewebsolutions/singles/thisisit.htm")

End On


 - so as to tell it where to go (and no I've done almost no javascript at

all before...just minor modification of other people's scripts)

and then put the html bit in, like your example below....I even tried

changing the "windowname" part to something different - (temp1 I think I

called it) and it still doesn't work..


Although it opens the html page, it just opens like it does normally...it is

not a popup window with the address bar and refresh, forward/back..etc

buttons removed, like I wanted...


Anyone actually get this working?


Ben
