Flash - URLs

[Fanotherpg]

I need to build a Flash based button rotator with working links to websites. Unfortunately the URL options of Flash object are not working so great, and when I get them working my Firefox is blocking all of them - it treats them as pop-ups even when I will add the site to exceptions.

Open in the same window? Idk. weird.

This will be addressed in the next Flash update:

Yeah Olivier I found that one, but the case is that it's for one Convention site and I just don't have too much time to wait for it. Unless it will be released really soon, so I'm thinking about some other way.

I get it working as a new window, but still like I'm saying Firefox is blocking it at all, and is there any way to pass this one?

You might have to ask the user to disable popups, if that'll work. If there were a way to get around the popups then popup blocking wouldn't be very useful.

You might be able to do it by calling a custom javascript instead.

Try calling a javascript like:

<SCRIPT>
function popupwindow(url,popupname,parameters)
{
window.open(url,popupname,parameters);
}
</SCRIPT>
