Has anyone here implemented tabbed browser support in Flash? i.e. links in Flash content that can be opened in a new tab?
I see three possible options: 1) getURL; 2) TextField with html=true and htmlText= containing html anchors; and 3) Javascript. The problems are ... 1) With getURL(), how would you specify "new tab"? 2) With anchors in htmlText, Flash Player provides the context menu. The Flash Player browser plug-ins include in the context menu the option "Open in new window". The freestanding Flash Player omits this option. (fyi ... a swf with an anchor in htmlText can be found here: www.oman3d.com/tutorials/flash/loadvars_bc/ ) 3) With Javascript, as a Flash/ActionScript developer I don't know how to code this solution. (fyi ... I did some google searchs on this with no luck.) If anyone can point me to a Javascript code solution, it would be much appreciated. Note: For those from Adobe that read this list ... With IE7's release and it's support for tabbed browsing, if Flash Player provides no support for opening links in tabs it will be increasing apparent that Flash Player is essentially unaware of tabbed browers.) _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
