How do I create a Popup in flash?

[teenIce]

Hi all,

I need help...I have a flash file name test.swf and there are button to launch another swf file. I try to use loadmovie() method but it replace my old swf with the new one. What I'm trying to do is more like popup for the old flash.

Hope you all can help me.
Thanks in advance.

You could use Javascript to generate a popup window.

on (release) { getURL("javascript:popup('http://www.something.com/test.swf')"); }
 
 

let me know if it works

Kestrel,

It doesn't work. The error says

 Object expected 

. Is this will open another windows?

[kestrel]

Yes, that code is supposed to open a new window. let me check my work.

[kestrel]

Try this:

var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.adobe.com','win','height=200,width=300,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
 

This will create a window that is 200px in height, 300 in width, has no tool bar and allows scroll bars. You can change any of those properties if you want. That should work.

Thanks Kestrel.
I'll try and inform you the result.

[kestrel]

OK, you're going to have to add

on (release)

if you want it to open up when you click on something

[teenIce]

Yes.

It works..Thanks Kestrel. But I want your opinion in my scenario. I had two flash file (A and B) . Let say, A supposedly call B and pass certain variables, is it possible I can load B in the same page with A and never unload A.

Thank you in advance.

You should ask all new questions in a new thread. That way, your question is more likely to be seen and answered.
