Re: [Flashcoders] Firefox popup blocker and flash 9

2008-05-30 Thread Dennis - I Sioux 

Viktor and  Glen are right..

The user has to initiate the geturl and it has to be on a onRelease so it's 
as user friendly as possible.. by this way after pressing he can decide to 
not releasing on the button anyway.


the allowScript access as a param is only needed when you'r swf is on a 
different subdomain ..
for instance your site is site.myurl.com and your swf comes from 
files.myurl.com

The Flash Player is a browser plugin (and presumably looks like a black 
box to the browser), so when e.g. Firefox gets a request to open a new 
window from the Flash Player, it probably can't tell whether this request 
is user initiated (thus legit) or not, so the blocker kicks in and blocks 
it. At least that's my theory (i definately don't know the technical 
details), so someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

 I'm having problems with Fireox blocking my popup windows. I've tried
 everything I can think of. It seems to happen on Windows running Firefox but
 I can't replicate the issue on all machines I've tested(it works on most
 machines but not all).
 
 Here is the class I'm using:
 
 package {
 
 import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
 
 public class URLUtil{
 
 protected static const WINDOW_OPEN_FUNCTION : String =
 window.open;
 
 public static function openWindow(url : String, window : String =
 _blank, features : String = ) : void {
 ExternalInterface.call(WINDOW_OPEN_FUNCTION, url, window,
 features);
 }
 
 }
 
 }
 
 
 //being called this way
 function recholder1Release(event:MouseEvent) {
 URLUtil.openWindow(res1link);
 }
 
 
 Any ideas?
 
 TIA,

Hi Dan,

Firefox blocks popups that aren't user-generated.
Firefox's blocker only opens popups that tries to open on a onRelease  
event.

So not automatic not onPress. Only onRelease

Have you read the comments on the blog post:

http://skovalyov.blogspot.com/2007/01/how-to-prevent-pop-up-blocking-in.html

allowScript access may need setting as an attribute when you embed Flash

You may need to specify a full URL

wmode may have an effect.

some more there too.
