Another problem I've run into is when the user has the Information
Bar itself turned off from the Popup Blocker Settings dialog. The
user clicks a link and, from their perspective, nothing happens. I
use a utility class to handle both this case and the one you
mentioned, and it has worked pretty well.
Usage: utils.BrowserUtil.openBrowserWindow(url, name, props);
The three parameters are the same as for the Javascript window.open
() function. All three are Strings, with the first being required
and the other two optional. Note that this utility doesn't support
all URLs; for example, you couldn't pass a javascript: prefixed url
to it.
Here's the code for utils/BrowserUtil.as
-----------------------------------
class utils.BrowserUtil {
import mx.core.Application;
public static function openBrowserWindow(url: String, name:
String, params: String) : Void {
var errorMsg: String = "Warning - Popup Blocked" +
"\\n\\nYour browser\\'s popup blocker may be enabled." +
"\\nPlease change your popup blocker settings in order
to view the requested page.";
if (name == null) name = "_blank";
mx.core.Application.getURL("javascript:var newwnd =
window.open('" + url + "', '" +
name + (params == null? "" : ("', '" + params)) + "');"
+
"if (newwnd == null) {" +
" alert('" + errorMsg + "')" +
"}" +
"else {" +
" newwnd.focus();" +
"}"
);
}
}
Hope that is of some help.
