Hi! I have been looking through thr forums and this question has been asked a million times, AND NEVER GOT AN ANSWER!!! This is very weird at kirupa. Have we found the unsolved problem??? 👽

Here it goes again:

I was wondering if IS IT POSSIBLE??? to launch a popup window (I know this is javascript) of a URL trigered from an xml file. I mean, I have this xml file wich has all the data for a web sites gallery. One of the variable is the URL where the website is. The code is like this:

on(release){  
//trace(urlLocation);  
getURL(urlLocation,"\_blank");  
}

where urlLocation is the data coming from the xml file. Imagine you want to open a popup… can you do that??

I tried this:

on(release){  
//trace(urlLocation);  
getURL(“javascript:Launch( urlLocation,”\_blank")");  
}

But it doesn’t work. Any ideas on that??
