RE: [flexcoders] getURL 3rd parameter?

Hi,

I just did what you are trying to do yesterday....here is how you do it.

First imbed your movie inside a JSP page with a special _javascript_ function:

<%@ taglib uri="FlexTagLib" prefix="mm" %>

<html>
<head>
<script>
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Opens the download window and initiates the download process
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
function showDownload( attachID ) {
openWindow( "download.jsp?operation=DOWNLOAD&attachID=" + attachID, 400, 60, true );
}

  // ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Opens another borwser window without toolbars
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
function openWindow( filename, width, height, isLocked ) {
  var config= ( isLocked )?
     "toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,resizable=no":
     "toolbar=yes,location=yes,directories=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,resizable=yes";

config = config + ",top=" + (screen.height-height)/2 + ",left=" +(screen.width-width)/2;

window.open(filename,"",config + ",scrollbars=yes,width=" + width + ",height=" + height);
}
</script>
</head>

</body>
</html>

Now in your AS2 code... you would call the _javascript_ function as such (attachID is a variable):

mx.core.Application.getURL( "_javascript_:showDownload(" + attachID + ")", "_top" );

When someone hits the button and runs the AS2code above, this will call the "showDownload" JS function, and thus a secondary browser window will pop up doing some extra work for you. In my case it initiates a file download from the server.

Enjoy!

If you need to specify width and height you probably need touse fscommand to call out into _javascript_. I'm not sure what kind of docs we have on this right now.

I was looking into this today also and saw that the 3rd param doesn't do jack except crash everything if you try to use it. I was using the _blank attribute to create the app in a new browser window and couldn't figure out how to set the size of the browser itself. Like with _javascript_ where you can specify the width and height of the window. Anyone know how to do this with the getUrl() method, or should I be using something else?
