Re: [Flashcoders] navigateToURL or getURL and pop-up blocking
Personally I would get flash to display a box that tells the user to expect a pop up and what to do if they dont get it. You might find a way round it, only to find that the pop up stopper can later defeat the method you use.

Re: [Flashcoders] navigateToURL or getURL and pop-up blocking
You should be fine using navigateToURL( "yourURL.html", "_blank" ). Pop-up blockers don't go after this (it's often user initiated). Even if you put a javascript in as the URL, it should be okay. jord On Oct 20, 2007, at 1:23 PM, John Olson wrote: I have a client Flash AS3 project where I need to open a new window from within Flash.

John you'd need to have allowScriptAccess enabled in the page. If it is then you can call window.open(...), otherwise - you might be out of luck... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Olson Sent: 20 October 2007 18:24 To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] navigateToURL or getURL and pop-up blocking I have a client Flash AS3 project where I need to open a new window from within Flash.
