javascript in textfield

[Ozeona]

hi there

i got to open a javascript popup with standard size in a website from flash. i.e. it should be able to click in flash, and open up a popup window displaying the content of the URL.

i tried the fscommand method from macromedia but it doesnt work. ( btw my published file is asp.net although i dun think that makes any difference from html in terms of javascript) i think the main thing is that my link in this case comes from html text in rxtfield. whereas javascript opens in buttons.. i wonder if theres a way of using html textfield to open up a javascript popup?

Code: Select all

 _root.Movie.textfield.htmlText += "" + Works[j] + "
"

theres this line i input into flash.. but it doesnt work either even though there is no error.

Is there any way of doing this?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

You need to edit the published (base) HTML file from flash by adding Javascript in the head.

Code: Select all

<script language="JavaScript"> 
function openNewWindow(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures) {
newWindow=window.open(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures); }
</script>

Then on the flash page add the javascipt to your button/link:

Code: Select all

on (release) {
	getURL ("javascript:openNewWindow('openpage.htm','thewin', 'height=500,width=425,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes')");
}

hope this helps

hey there..
thanks for your reply. However, the links are in a movie, which contain a textfield. They are not buttons so i cannot use on(release) or getURL.

Im currently using

Code: Select all

_root.Movie.list.htmlText  += " " + titles[j]+ "
"

to make them in html links. However, this doesnt work.. even though the popup appear when im previewing it in flash mode. It does not appear when im in the real website mode.

The links for the website appear like this :

Code: Select all

javascript:openWindow(../file/file/link.swf,openWindow,height=480,width=640,toolbar=no,scrollbar=no,resizable=no)

I wonder if theres any problem with the codeS? or is it coz of the enviroment?

Appreciate any help.Thanks
