Cheers fella.

The problem i have is this -

Ive been making a flash site. Ive added a newsletter subscription to the site, and when someone hits submit, it links them to a php page, where it sends the data to a text file, and also opens a picture saying submission succesful. This all works fine, but i want the php page to open in a pop-up window to the right size of the picture. I can get it to open in a pop up no problem, but it wont send the data when i do.

The other thing is i have been using swishmax to build the site and not flash, so i dont know how well the action scripting relates. Anyway, the code i have used thats works (without the pop-up) is -

on (press)  {
     getURL("http://www.clubfaction.net/site/array.php","_blank",GET");
     _root.visible = true;
}

The script i have been using for the pop-ups is

on (press) {
    javascript("window.open('http://www.clubfaction.net/site/armageddonflyers.html','armageddon','width=600,height=476, addressbar=no, statusbar=no, resizable=no, scrollbars=no, toolbar=no, top='+((screen.availHeight/2)-(400/2))+',left='+((screen.availWidth/2)-(400/2))+'')");
}

This does work for popups, but it doesnt send the GET commend if i combine it with the other script

i am at a loss with what to do

A) r u combinin the two commands on one "on (click)" function, which I think u should be?

B) if I was doin this in Flash, I wouldn't be usin the getUrl function, but the loadVariables (or loadVariablesNum) function, as this is guarenteed to send the variables outta a Flash movie to whatever php is sittin behind it.

The best thing I can think of is if u msn me with the files, an I'll download the swish trial and ave a look at it in there, maybe I can shed some light?

[Tyrisia]

not loadVariables, sendAndLoad

[schlongfingers]

on (press) {
    javascript("window.open('http://www.clubfaction.net/site/armageddonflyers.html','armageddon','width=600,height=476, addressbar=no, statusbar=no, resizable=no, scrollbars=no, toolbar=no, top='+((screen.availHeight/2)-(400/2))+',left='+((screen.availWidth/2)-(400/2))+'')");
}

This code is fine buddy, you just need to append your get variables to the url, for example

on (press) {
    javascript("window.open('http://www.clubfaction.net/site/armageddonflyers.html"+_root.path.to.your.get.variable+"','armageddon','width=600,height=476, addressbar=no, statusbar=no, resizable=no, scrollbars=no, toolbar=no, top='+((screen.availHeight/2)-(400/2))+',left='+((screen.availWidth/2)-(400/2))+'')");
}

Argh shit, that's actionscript - you need to amend to whatever swish uses, but think you get the idea of what's needed.

[schlongfingers]

also there needs to be a '?' after the html, then just build your string like

index.html?variable1=abcd&variable2=efgh


Really wish you could edit posts in this section!
