Hello folks, I’ve got a tiny HTML problem… I buy my domains under [www.simply.com](http://www.simply.com) they offer ‘cloaking’ so you can have your site stored in one place and use ur cloaked address to point to it, eg [www.some-space-for-site.site.net](http://www.some-space-for-site.site.net) could be just [www.yoursite.com](http://www.yoursite.com). I cloak all the sites I have, basically cos i dont know how to do it any other way, i cant transer my domain to my hosting. The problem is when I try to use a javascript popup window from within flash it doesnt work? I presume this is because of the cloaking because it works if I take it off. Anyone heard of this and know a fix? Or maybe i’m just speakin total crap I dunno…lol [www.method-band.co.uk](http://www.method-band.co.uk) is one of my site if you want to check out the HTML source. Thanks for any help! Skid :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: ---

Yeah, it is the cloaking. I believe RenGirl had this problem with her portfolio. We could not figure it out for the life of us. So she changed her URL from cloaking to redirect. I don’t know if we tried this… In the getURL change the target window from \_self or whatever to \_parent ---

The ‘cloaking’ or ‘masking’ will be able to use javascript if you piont the url to the real absolute. A mask always stays in place kinda like a frame, but your popups have to point to the real sight. Thats why some popouts go without menubar. ---

Rynoe: A lot of problems with cloaked domains in that when launching a pop up from inside Flash they will not launch. You click, but nothing happens. Not that the errors becomes wrong, just that the window won’t launch. ---

Are they pointing to the true domain? because I have several cloaked sites and I can do it fine?!?!?!? ---

What does it matter if the window will not even launch. The window doesn’t launch with a 404 it just doesn’t launch. Even if you have the right URL to load the page into. ---

Hmmmmmm, Well, like I said I have sites that are masked and I can use both javascript and flash to link to other sites. I don’t know, maybe I’m confused (wouldn’t be the first time) about what the problem is… ---

The problem is confusing. Apparently when launching a pop up from withing Flash will not launch in a cloaked domain. I dunno if it is like that for all cloaked domains as I have never even tried it on mine, but it doesn’t work for skid and it didn’t work for Ren. ---

Ren fixed hers by uncloaking her domain and using her URL as a redirect instead of a cloak. So no examples of it now.
