I found out about this amazing site: http://www.fight4fun.it/ and, need help with how this website was done. I really don’t like flash websites and the main reason is when you want to send a friend a specific page you can’t as it’s all the one URL. but I like the style of flash.

I am confused about where to plug in that added bit of code that was posted on 8/18/09. It says to add it to an included .js file…. but which one? where do I put this code?

Thanks soo much! Works beautifully!
If like me you are using XML to load external images and links, just call the javascript from the XML rather than the flash. ie

link=”javascript:callFancy(‘/linktopage.html’)”

hi~

This has been such a great help. I have one question, is there anyway to have 2 separate flash buttons that open different sized iframe windows. can the dimensions be set from flash?

Best,
Petra

I’m having issues getting this to work in IE — I found a solution for AS3 — but just can’t get this son of a bitch to work in IE…

to see my code — check this post:

Has anyone messed with this in IE?

Thanks!

Another issue…

Anyone figure out how to pass variables through the getURL function? it seems that it won’t work unless it has the quotes around each string. If it has quotes it takes it literally. Variables are passed not as their value but the text.

Works:
button.onRelease = function() {
getURL(“javascript:callFancy(‘http://www.google.com’,’title’);”);
}

Doesn’t:
var URL:String = “http://www.google.com”
button.onRelease = function() {
getURL(“javascript:callFancy(‘URL’,’title’);”);
}

Doesn’t:
var URL:String = “http://www.google.com”
button.onRelease = function() {
getURL(“javascript:callFancy(URL,’title’);”);
}

Help?

Thank you!

Answered my own question:

All above code is correct except for the function

function callFancy(my_href, my_title) {
var j1 = document.getElementById(“hiddenclicker”);
j1.href = my_href;
var j2 = document.getElementById(“hiddenclicker”);
j2.title = my_title;
$(‘#hiddenclicker’).trigger(‘click’);
}

I removed the line:
$(‘#hiddenclicker’).fancybox({‘titlePosition’:’inside’});

And it worked great!

Thank you for pioneering this great script and thank you to all who continue to tweak it.
