Digital Workshop

Hello
I am working on a pub using the flash component. One of my buttons need to launch a webpage, which is cool. My problem is that I want to tell the button that launch that particular webpage as a popup window, using certain dimensions as a small window but I do not know how to produce that action.

My guess is that I have to use scripting but I do not know how to go about this. Could you please somebody help me with this. It is very important since the client want this to be done like that. (the customer is always right?)

Thanks

Hello, friends from DW
Anybody home?

I still haven't received any answer for my question and I really need to know if this is possible since the client insist on this to be done.

Thank you for your reply

Please tell me if this can be done!

Hi German,

Please accept my apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I have been trying various methods, but have not yet found a satisfactory solution.

One method is to issue use the normal Launch Web Page and use the following address:



Now ensure that the Destination Frame is set to '_top', apply the changes and test.

You will see that this launches a new 400 x 400 pixel browser window named Google, displaying the Google home page.

However, this method also causes the original browser window (displaying the publication) to navigate to a blank white page containing the word [object] and the user would need to click the Back button to return to the publication. I have not yet found a solution to this problem, but will investigate further.

Another possibility (which I have yet to test) would be to add these Javascript commands to a second .htm file on the web server. The Launch Web Page action could then launch this second file, which in turn will create the new browser window to the required dimensions.

I hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further queries.

Kind regards,

Hi Robin
Thank you for your reply...
Perhaps I did not explain properly but I am not using a browser field inside a publication but a button to lauch a browser to display a webpage on the net.
Therefore, any scripting must be placed in the button so when user click the page is launched as per the size setup on the scripting.
I do not know if I am making any sense...I am tired..working to hard to finish a project..

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

As stated in my previous post, this address is typed into a 'Launch Web Page' action (which can be applied to a button) and will therefore launch a browser window with the required dimensions and display the specified web page. This should therefore meet your requirements.

Kind regards,
