If you're using firefox, trying to get around the popup blocker is a
whole world of pain.

RE: [Flashcoders] asfunction and single param
Are you assembling a string like this:
A
HREF=http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14157;
TARGET=_blank
or maybe this:
A HREF=asfunction:myFunction,myParam TARGET=_blank
? If you use HTML text, getURL() is not necessary.
If you want to use getURL afterall, then this should work:
A HREF=asfunction:openInBrowser,myURLMy Text/A
function openInBrowser(url)
{
getURL(url, _blank);
}
But I don't see why the latter option would be necessary.

Re: [Flashcoders] asfunction and single param
try escaping the url being passed as the param. Having two protocols
(asfunction: and http:) is probably the cause of your problem. You'll want
to unescape it from within the function as well. I think using the target
attribute as Jason mentioned is a better solution.

Re: [Flashcoders] asfunction and single param
Here is a trace from using the first strategy:
==
Website: font color='#ff'ua href='asfunction:getURL,http://
www. google.com' TARGET='_blank'www. google.com/a/u/font
==
The url still opens up in the same window as the Flash file, not a
new window.
The second strategy still doesn't work for me. It doesn't seem to be
finding the function. Here's the trace:
===
Website: font color='#ff'ua
href='asfunction:openInBrowser,http://www.google.com'www.google.com/
a/u/font
===
I've tried to remove the param and see if it can fire 'openInBrowser'
with a simple trace, but it doesn't fire.
Thanks for the feedback so far. Let me know if there are any other
thoughts on this.

RE: [Flashcoders] asfunction and single param
You're not following my first option right. My first option doesn't use
asfunction, and it uses not '. It's just setting the value of the
text to HTML code. No asfunction or getURL. The second option should
work, try using instead of '.

Re: [Flashcoders] asfunction and single param
I think now that it's a scoping issue. Make sure the function is defined in
the same class/movieclip as the textfield which contains the asfunction. You
then just have to delegate it to where you need it.

Hi everyone,
I'm generating a hyperlink within a textarea component. I'd like to do a
getURL by generating HTML that includes the hyperlink,
opening up the page in a new window. So far, I have managed to generate the
link and open up the page, but not in a new window.
It would be great to use an asfunction call to a method that uses getURL
with a _blank parameter, but it doesn't seem to be
working for me.
Any help is appreciated. If there's a better way to do this, do let me know.
Here's my code:
/**

switch ( tNode ) {
case web :
var tURL:String = dealerNode.childNodes[y].childNodes [0].nodeValue.trim();
//This picks up the url
var webURL:String = Website: font color='#ff'ua
href='asfunction:openInBrowser,http://; + tURL + ';
theOutput += webURL;
break;
} // Another switch statement closes the font and hyperlink tags
/**
* Here's my altered code... Since I can only pass in one parameter, I'm
defining a function to open the link in a new window, but
