Cow, I’m pretty sure you’re not using the URLNavigator correctly. Are you saving and importing it like I wrote about in the 2nd paragraph in my post?

I can’t really tell what you’re trying to do, but send me an email with the files you’re working with and I’ll see if I can help you.

jordan,

i tried to replace this in the URLNavigator and I found no result? i am actually trying to make a navigation with three buttons that all call javascript pop ups? I noticed that if you try to copy and paste the code for the next button in the navigation and you receive a duplicate function issues as well. is there anyway you can send me a tid-bit of code regarding this first issue and now the following issue? thank you.

kind regards … cow

Cow, you can modify URLNavigator to change the ExternalInterface.call line.

In JavaScript, window.open looks like this: window.open(url, windowName, features);

Take a look at Mozilla’s docs for what you can put for “features”: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.open

So in Flash, the ExternalInterface.call might look like this:
ExternalInterface.call(”window.open”, req.url, window, “width=400,height=500,top=50,left=200″);

I’ll probably modify URLNavigator so that you can pass that stuff in–good idea.

jordan,

wow, this is a really great way to get pop ups!!! I have been working on this for a few days now and your way works. was wondering if there is any way to control the window even more, such as size, location where the window pops up? if you know how and any more attributes please do tell … thank you again … themadcow

Mike, I’ve just now tested it and it worked. This method will only work if you call URLNavigator.ChangePage within a MouseEvent.CLICK listener; is that possibly the reason it’s not working for you?

Hi, this solution not longer works in Firefox version 3 if the pop-up blocker is on. It seems that Firefox version 3 is more stringent with pop-ups.
