[method]

I usedd this code but it never loads the correct webpage. Could any one help me fix this problem. It pops up window with localhost/undefined. I checked the url using trace and it has correct url but when it opens the window the url is not passed corectly and it pops up localhost/undefined instead.

myData = new LoadVars() 
        myData.ref = this 
        myData.load("http://localhost/script.php")
        myData.onLoad = function(succes){ 
            if(succes){ 
            
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open(this.url,'newWin','width=400,height=300,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');  NewWindow.focus();      void(0);");
 
           trace(this.url);
            } else trace("Error loading data")
            
        } 
 
}

try this:

getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open("+this.url+",'newWin','width=400,height=300,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');  NewWindow.focus();      void(0);");

ureaded thanks . I keep getting http://localhost/+this.url+
in the popup window instead of passed url!! Using trace.url i see the url crectly but for some odd reason it does not load that url corectly in the browser!!! I tried all these and non worked:

this.url
'this.url'
"this.url"

'+this.url+'
"+this.url+"

\""+this.url+"\"

I even used echo "url=".$url; instead of echo "url=$url"; in php side and still didn't work!!

just a quick thought, but isn't url a reserved keyword (i just looked at the highlighted code, and it ended up in blue, instead of black). Try renaming the variable (inphp and flash) url2 will do, and see what happens.

unrealed i even tried url2 in both php and flash still same erro. Error shown in image

I just tested your code on my pc, and it worked just fine, the only thing i changed was adding single quotes around the url:

mybtn.onRelease = function (){
    var url:String = "http://www.google.com";
    getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('"+url+"','newWin','width=400,height=300,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}; 

I tested this in Mozilla Firefox, and mozilla gave me the "the website tries to open a popup" notification

Cheers

PS: are you dutch speaking? cause i found the same code on a Dutch forum, named Flashfocus. This is the url of the thread: http://www.flashfocus.nl/forum/showt...+nieuwe+window

Unreal. Thanks for testing the code. My main goal is to load dynamic url from db and opens it up in a new web browser every few seconds . i don't want to create buttons to load url!!

I followed your example and non of them work. could you look at these 2 version of the code and let me know what i am doing wrong. i keep getting this error:

Code:

internet explorer cannont download. 
Unspecified error
ok

This is the hardcoded version of url but still does't load the google in the browser

function loadData(){
myData = new LoadVars() 
        myData.ref = this 
        myData.load("http://localhost/geturlfromdb.php")
        myData.onLoad = function(succes){ 
            if(succes){ 
        
            var url:String = "http://www.google.com";
           
    
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('"+url+"','newWin','width=400,height=300,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');  NewWindow.focus();      void(0);");
 
       
            } else trace("Error loading data")
            
        } 
 
}
a = setInterval(loadData, 9000) //1000 = 1 second 
 

This version gets url form mysql via php. this.url holds the url .I used trace and saw that url get passed corectly to flash but flash can't load the url in the browser!!
i tried both var url:String = "this.url2"; and var url:String = this.url2;

function loadData(){
myData = new LoadVars() 
        myData.ref = this 
        myData.load("http://localhost/geturlfromdb.php")
        myData.onLoad = function(succes){ 
            if(succes){ 
        
            var url:String = "this.url2";
            //trace(this.url2);
    
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('"+url+"','newWin','width=400,height=300,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');  NewWindow.focus();      void(0);");
 
       
            } else trace("Error loading data")
            
        } 
 
}
a = setInterval(loadData, 9000) //1000 = 1 second

i'm not sure for 100%, but i think i've found the problem:

"javascript:NewWindow=window.open('"+url+"','newWin','width=400,height=300,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');  NewWindow.focus();      void(0);" 

In firefox it might work like this, but in IE i think you have to give the same name to the window as you pass in the second parameter of the window.open function

so this might work i think:

"javascript:newWin=window.open('"+url+"','newWin','width=400,height=300,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');  newWin.focus();      void(0);" 

If the first code isn't working either, i think the problem is in IE and not in Flash or PHP.

in your second code:

var url:String = "this.url2"; 

will only pass this.url2 to the url variable, and not the value of this.url2.

var url:String = this.url2; 

this should do it (by default the returned variable is a string, so you don't have to cast it to string, like you do in php)
