Hi all,
I can't figure out why I am having trouble with "externalEvent" in
shockwave. Having spent the last 24 hours searching online for help, I
turn to you all for help! I've done projectors for a couple of years,
but am fairly new to shockwave and especially getting a movie to
interact with the browser it's embedded in.
I have a shockwave movie embedded in a browser window. In the movie I
have this simple behavior attached to a button:
on mouseUp me
externalEvent("openNewWindow('alphabet.htm')")
end
In the <head> section of the webpage, I have the following script:
<script language="JavaScript">
function openNewWindow(newURL) {
window.open
(newURL,"alphabet","toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=yes,men
ubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=450,height=450");}
</script>
However, when I click on the button that has the mouseUp behavior, and
hold my breath waiting for the new browser window to pop open, nothing
happens (and I eventually exhale). I am sure there's something really
simple that I am missing here, but I have been looking at it for too
long, and I probably also need some caffeine detox (the diet coke/coffee
diet catches up eventually...).
The actual shockwave applet is located at
www.egyptianarabic.com/wordofday/index.asp, if it helps to look at it to
understand what I am saying. The button that has the externalEvent
behavior is the little one with the key shape on it. The site is set to
go live this week, and I want to get this ironted out.
Thanks,
Andrew
