Part 2: Editing the HTML
I'm going to use Dreamweaver to edit the HTML file published
by Flash, but obviously you could use any editor or even
notepad.
Step 1: Editing the popup.html
This is the file published by Flash. Using Dreamweaver, go to
File>Open...and select the popup.html.
Step 2: Pasting the Javascript
code
In the Code View in Dreamweaver, paste the following code
BETWEEN the head tags:
<script language="JavaScript">
function openNewWindow(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures) {
newWindow=window.open(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures); }
</script>
Step 3: Create the pop-up page
Next, create a new HTML page and call it "test.html".
Obviously it could be named anything but it has to be the same
name referenced in the Get URL action in Flash.
Flash code:
javascript:openNewWindow('test.html','thewin',
'height=200,width=250,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no')
Step 4: Testing Your Movie
Save your popup.html file and your test.html file (make sure
all files are in the same directory as your popup.swf since
that's the path structure we used in the example). Test your
popup.html movie and click the Flash button to test the page.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you make ANY changes to your flash movie and republish it,
you will HAVE TO go back and paste in the code into the HTML
page published by Flash. When Flash publishes the HTML page it
will overwrite the existing one so you'll need to drop in the
code again.
