Re: Frontpage query

Hi Gordon;

You need to select a target other than the default target which is probably
set to new page.

To open your flash in a popup window while keeping your viewers on the
original webpage, try using the following href string replacing the generic
names with your directory/file names. This will give you a popup window of
200 by 200 (you can change the numbers to change your width/height (the
first '200' is for width and the 2nd for window height). the 'yes' makes the
window resizable by the viewer. Replace with 'no' if you wish the popup to
be a fixed size which the view cannot expand.

<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/myflashdirectory/myflash.swf";
onClick="NewWindow(this.href,'popup','200','200','yes');return false;">

There are others options such as creating a frame (iframe) and designating
it as the target for the flash but I think what you want is above.

Go to www.thegrooveshack.com and click on the juke box to see what you can
expect and feel free to view/use my source as needed. There are several
target type on this page, iframe, popup, newpage, same page, etc.

Good luck,

Bob Spiteri

Hi
I'm trying to make a website, all is going well as I learn and move on, but
I have a couple of flash videos, that I want to open when I put a link to
them, they do open but in full screen and very pixelated, what I would like
is to create a page with the flash video on it, but when I click on a link
from my home page I want a new window to open the same size as the swf file,
which they are all about 200x200, I have done just about everything and got
it down to the video being the right size but the link just moves to another
page with my video in the middle top and the rest of the page white or black
depends what background I pick. I don't think I am explaining myself to good
here, so can anyone tell me how to make a window open of the size of the
flash video when someone clicks on the link I will provide. Phew glad I got
that out :-)

Thanks

Gordon

Ps tried to post on a frontpage newsreader and it seems not a great deal of
people use it, message before mine is un-answered and a few days old.

PPs, yes I have googled it, and I get a bit confused to some of the
suggestions.
