I am putting a web site on a CD, using the Flash projector. I have used the tutorial for the Centered Pop-Up Window. Works great! Now I’m having a hard time making it work from the CD. I have searched but haven’t found this similar problem.

All html files, images are in folders on the CD (Portlgpages) folder. The code for the window is:

on (release) {  
//customize the window that gets opened  
// 0 equals NO.  
// 1 equals YES.  
address = “[http://www.eddygraphicdesign.com/Portlgpages/ill\_08.html](http://www.eddygraphicdesign.com/Portlgpages/ill_08.html)”;  
target\_winName = “popup\_08”;  
width = 288;  
height = 650;  
toolbar = 0;  
location = 0;  
directories = 0;  
status = 0;  
menubar = 0;  
scrollbars = 1;  
resizable = 0;  
//sends data back to the function  
openWinCentre(address, target\_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);  
}

For example, I’ve changed the address to Portlgpages/ill\_08.html but it doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

I want my swf file to launch html pages. There are several of them (portfolio images).

The swf file is in a main folder. Also in that folder is a folder called Portlgpages. That is where the html pages are.

It workes if I just use getURL but then I don’t get the specific sized html pages like in the tutorial.

Go to [www.eddygraphicdesign.com](http://www.eddygraphicdesign.com) in the portfolio section to see what I mean. I would like that to take that whole site and make to a CD.

Still the same problem. It brings up a blank I.E. page. Then a message saying “Specified Server could not be found” then a smaller i.e. window with the target name on the title bar, nothing inside the window.

I don’t get it. If I clear all that code and just put:

on (release) {  
getURL(“Portlgpages/ill\_08.html”);  
}

it works. But then I’m not getting my specific centered window, size, etc.

Sorry but that doesn’t work either. This time it won’t launch anything.

This is the code I used for ma site…really helpful…got this function that passes on the resolution of popups and html links…works fine…it should help ya somehow or the other…

> 

[COLOR=blue]  
[FONT=courier new]  
\<script\>  
// Code reference [http://devlab.swift3d.com](http://devlab.swift3d.com)

mw=0;  
function popup(x,y,filename){

```
xresnow = x;
yresnow = y;
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac")!=-1 && document.all) {
		xresnow-=0;
		yresnow-=0;
}
xl = (screen.availWidth/2)-(xresnow/2);
tt = (screen.availHeight/2)-(yresnow/2);

```

if (document.all) mw=window.open(filename,‘New’,‘scrollbars=no,width=’+xresnow+‘,height=’+yresnow+‘,left=’+xl+‘,top=’+tt);  
else {  
if (parseFloat(navigator.appVersion)\<4.75)  
mw=window.open(filename,‘New’,‘left=’+xl+‘,top=’+tt+‘,width=’+x+‘,height=’+y+‘,toolbar=0,status=0,location=0’);  
else {  
mw=window.open(filename,‘New’,‘scrollbars=no,toolbar=0,status=0,location=0’);  
setTimeout(“mwFix(”+xl+“,”+tt+“,x,y)”,10);  
}  
}

document.location=“email.html”;  
}  
\</script\>  
[/FONT]  
[/COLOR]

[EDIT]  
Now, to get the thing working in flash, just make a button that links to the name of the function with the arguments…

Just geturl to this:  
j a v a s c r i p t : p o p u p ( 7 7 0 , 5 7 0 , ’ p o p u p . h t m l ’ ) ;

That should work I guess…

The very first code I posted works great for the web site…except I can’t get it to work for the CD from the SWF file. Even though all html files are there in a folder. I know there’s got to be a way to make it work.

I’m not sure where to apply the above code. Could you be more specific?
