First off hi all,
This is probably simple to someone but I'm stuck.
I created a button on a flash movie, .swf, insert it into a webpage created in Dreamweaver, the idea is when the button is clicked, a new browser window opens to a size of 600 x 600, no scroll bars to toolbar, just a way to close it. The browser will just contain a simple .jpg image of a map.
Now I've looked at heaps of sites and tried the following actionscript.
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:openNewWindow( \mysite\pictures\simple.jpg, height=600, width=600, toolbar=no, scrollbars=no );");
}
The above opens the browser and immediately closes again?????
As you can also see it's a relative site not an absolute site. It works fine if I use just getURL without the javascript stuff eg:
on (release) {
getURL("\mysite\pictures\simple.jpg", "_blank");
}
However it opens a new window "which is what I want" but it's obviously not sized to 600 x 600, and has scrollbars toolbar etc.
What am I doing wrong? I am TOTALLY new to FLASH and actionscript, and I am now more confused than ever, so your help would be appreciated
Hope all of the above makes sense!
Thanks in advance.

Hey, welcome to the scripts.
Try this on for size: -
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.adobe.com','win','height=200,width=300,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");

Thanks Kestrel,
It worked when I remembered to include the 'on release'
and {}. However I found I had to use the full WWW address, it wouldn't work with a relative address and also, It doesn't go right up into the corners. Leaves a gap at top of window and left side. Anyway of correcting that?
Thanks again!!
Are you talking about the new window when it opens?
Sorry for the late reply,
yes when the new window opens to the size I set 600 x 600, the .jpg which is also 600 x 600 is not right up into the corner of the window there's a few pixels gap at the top and the left side of the image.
Also I noticed in IE7 browsers there's a drop down box that shows the full address of the .jpg. Anyway of fixing the 2 above issues?
Many thanks in advance.
can i see your exact actionscript code, aswell as the html in your pop-up? that would help alot.
did you make sure that all your css styles are defaulted? on the page you are opening, put this in there
<style>
*, html {
border: 0 px;
padding: 0 px;
margin: 0 px;
}
</style>
obviously, remember to put these style tags in the html before you create the image. aka put them inside the <head> ... </head>
Ok, so i created a pop up, and i also had that white space in the corner.
Your html popup page just has an image in it right? with <img />
Heres what i did - <img alt="" src="http://www.guitarzone.com/w-images/d/de/Pink_floyd_darkside.jpg" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px;" />
That squares the image right up to the corner
Great thanks for your assistance everyone. And again so sorry for the tardy replies I don't have a heap of time to visit the site much.
Thanks again for ALL your time it is very much appreciated!
No problem, Just glad i could help
