ScriptConfusion

bibi · 06-20-2002, 08:31 AM

HI
I´m new with JavaScript and I have a question. I surfed dozins of forums 2 find the answer but I got all confused with so many (mostly just slightely different) codes & scripts.
Here is what I want 2 know:
I made a flash intro, and then a button appears, and when u click it, I want a popup window 2 open (not fullscreen, not centered).
Now I collected many codes but I really can´t seem 2 find out WHICH part I should paste WHERE...
Could u please make an example (as for a child) 2 help me out?!
I´d appriciate it a lot!Thanxx!!

It'll always help us, if you post an URL or your source code here. That helps us to offer you a firm and proper answer faster, when we know the "environment".

So, post an URL or a part of your code.

Pop Up Window Generator

newmate · 06-21-2002, 08:54 AM

Ok, let's see if I can break it down for you.
First, the script you create with the two parts 1="head" in red and 2="body"in green you will cut and paste ---->

<html>
<head>
<title>PopUpScript</title>
<script>
function PopUp(PopUpUrl){
var ScreenWidth=window.screen.width;
var ScreenHeight=window.screen.height;
var movefromedge=0;
placementx=500;
placementy=300;
WinPop=window.open(PopUpUrl,"","width=400,height=300,toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,scr ollbars=1,menubar=0,resizable=1,left="+placementx+",top="+placementy+",screenX="+placementx+",screen Y="+placementy+",");
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="PopUp('http://www.A1ien51.8k.com')">
</body>
</html>

Here it is used in a small page --->

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<title>This is it</title>
<script>
function PopUp(PopUpUrl){
var ScreenWidth=window.screen.width;
var ScreenHeight=window.screen.height;
var movefromedge=0;
placementx=500;
placementy=300;
WinPop=window.open(PopUpUrl,"","width=400,height=300,toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,scr ollbars=1,menubar=0,resizable=1,left="+placementx+",top="+placementy+",screenX="+placementx+",screen Y="+placementy+",");
}
</script>

</head>

<body>

<table border="1" cellspacing="1" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="200" id="AutoNumber1" height="1000">
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
<p> <img border="0" src="pic5.jpg" width="207" height="342">   </p>
<p><font size="7">This is it</font></p>
<body onload="PopUp('http://codingforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=392')">
</body>

</html>
Note: 1, This <head> starts the head section and this </head> ends it. This <body> or <body background=somediscriptionofacolororgraphicfilesourcehere> starts the body section and this </body> ends it.
Note: 2, I replaced the url in the green onload body tag with the url for this page so in this example you will see a moveable, scrollable popup of this post. This is where you put the url to the page you want in the popup. Be sure to put your url inside the (' and the ')"> parts
Note: 3, You may need to make a blank type page to host your flash intro because this popup script is coded for url's and not a direct path to a folder or file.

I wanna thank yall for your time & effort. I´ll try all the tips and codes and then get bakc to U

Okay, I did some homework--I´ve visited popup generator, very handy!
But I still can´t make the button work in my flash intro...
I´ve also tried to work with your codes, Newmate, but unfortunately it did´nt get me what I needed...thanx anyway!
So here´s the codes that I try 2 work with.
First I give u the code of the button and what it does, so u get an impression of what I want 2 happen:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>trial</TITLE>
<script language=javascript>
function openwindow()
{
window.open("http://www.mediaperspectief.nl", "openwindow", "width=300,height=300,left=50,top=50")
}
</script>
</HEAD>

<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<form> <center><p> <input type=button value="consultancy" onclick="openwindow()" NAME="consultancybutton"></p></center></form>

</BODY>
</HTML>

And here´s the code for the flashmovie in which the button has to trigger the popup window, which is definitly not happening...

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script language=JavaScript>
function openNewWindow(URLtoOPen, windowName, windowFeatures)
{
newWindow=window.open(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures);
}
</script>
<TITLE>trialmovie</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

<A HREF=javascript

penNewWindow ('www.mediaperspectief.nl','thewin','height=300,width=400,top=50,left=50')"); }></A> 
<OBJECT classid="clsid

27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"
WIDTH=550 HEIGHT=400> swLiveConnect=true NAME=button.swf
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="trialmovie.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <EMBED src="trialmovie.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH=550 HEIGHT=400 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Okay, beatiful if anyone could unsolve this mistery 4 me!!
