[BNM] Opening pop ups in flash: firefox issue

[Ali]

Hi Dan

Is it possible to use PHP for the image page?

If so why not pass the picUrl to the pop-up page in the javascript in one go?

getURL 
("javascript:openNewWindow('img_page.php?pic=" + _root.picUrl + "','thewin','width=390,height=470,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no')");

HTH

  Hello,

  I'm venturing into an area I know little about modifying an existing 
  flash website.

  The site has a popup window bit that opens a window from a thumbnail, 
  showing a full size image in an html file.

  The problem comes when viewing in firefox - the window does not get 
  reloaded with the appropriate html file. It's fine in IE

  The loader uses the following simple actionscript:

  getURL 
  ("javascript:openNewWindow('empty.html','thewin','width=390,height=470,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no')");
     
  Then, in the next frame,

  stop();
  getURL (_root.picUrl,'thewin');

  Where picUrl will be the name of the html file for this thumbnail.

  I've tried extending the time between the window opening and it being 
  loaded with the appropriate file, in case the two requests are 
  overlapping, due to client side rendering times.

  Sorry this is a bit vague, I'm really fumbling around in the dark with 
  actionscript. Can't get the fourth dimension to the programming...!

  Cheers,

  Dan.
