Open URL being blocked

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • Hi All,

    Not sure if anybody else is having this problem... when I upload to NewGrounds or Kongregate all my outbound links are blocked and won't open. Although the same SWF opens links fine on other websites.

    The only similarity I see with these two sites is that the files are hosted on different domains than the current domain e.g. the player would play the game on Please login to see this link. but the SWF is hosted on uploads.ungrounded.net.

    Can others test to see if they can open links on NewGrounds?

    Thanks,

    Steve

  • True, your links do not open. I'm not sure that they are blocked either, because Firefox doesn't display such a message (usually appearing at the top of the window). It seems that nothing happens when clicking.
    Are you sure that your events are immediate conditions beginning with 'User clicks on'?

    Also, which build are you using?

    I wonder if some parameters for the object/embed tags could cause this problem. But this would be surprising.

  • I did not rebuild my games under b252. But I can confirm that this was working with b251 (when François was in the process of improving the Flash Player object according to beta tests... or should I say alpha tests).

    EDIT: Just in case Steven, are you using Looki's FlashFX extension in your game? I tried to use it the other day with b252 and had very weird problems, including buttons/links not working anymore. After removing the extension everything was okay.

  • Steven, I have just compiled a test app with MMF2Dev b252 and uploaded it at NG :

    For me clicking on both Active objects do work, they link to google.com. The "Flash URL" thingy to the right was a temp extension used for tests during the beta stage. As it was working its code was later integrated into the Flash Player object.

  • Olivier: I think it may work there as the file isn't hosted on uploads.ungrounded.net like it is on the main site. At least I don't think it is... could you test that?

    Opening links is now working on my next Flash game when I'm testing the medal implementation (so not from the main site). I'll try some more testing to see if I can get to the root of the problem.

  • Could someone clarify what do I need in order to open an URL to a new window without Firefox blocking it (if we don't consider this NG-specific issue)?

    What I have is:

    - MMF2 Dev build 252
    - Firefox 6.0.1
    - Flash player object
    - User clicks on active object --> Open URL Please login to see this link. in new window

    Do I need anything more?

    Result with that setup: Firefox blocks it.

    I have been out of FGL intentionally for the last three months due to this issue and now lately as it was announced that the issue would be finally fixed in build 252 of MMF, I have made a sponsorship deal for a new game. But still can't get the URL opened in Firefox... :(
