This seems to require to use the ExternalInterface class, like :

ExternalInterface.call(WINDOW_OPEN_FUNCTION, url, window, features);

Where WINDOW_OPEN_FUNCTION is the javascript code to launch the function : window.open

But there are some security warning in Flex when trying to open these files and folder, Mac/Linux/Windows have the same.

Any idea on how to easily, cross-plateform, open a folder on the network?

I believe in order to hide location bars and scroll bars in a new HTML window, you need to use the ExternalInterface API and call a JavaScript function in your HTML container.

How to hide the location bar and scroll bar in the new window?

Thanks

Thanks

Any idea what could be the cause of this?

I think you would need to save the XML to the disk/server first.

As for the blog design, yeah, this is just a default WordPress template. I’ve been thinking of finding a new theme as it seems there are lots of weird issues, like people not being able to post code in the comments without the blog somehow eating them.

I’m interested in taking an xml:XML object in flex and launching a new browser window to display it. I wasn’t planning on saving it to a file but rather have created it dynamically in memory but want the browser to decide what XML viewer to invoke. Is there a way to do this without saving the file to disk or uploading it first to the server?

Also…this web site (blog.flexexamples.com) is very hard to read in IE 7.0. The black color hides what I type in in the search input box. Anyway the designer could modify the colors of this website to be a little more user friendly? In particular I see light grey text in the black search text box. Very hard to see what I typed in.. Why black anyway? pretty hard on the eyes but then again I know that is very subjective…

In my Flex 3.3 _blank target is not working. I cannot open this ^ example with ‘blank’ as well. Is this a bug or there is a different way to open site in separate tab/window…?

What happens when you specify “_top” versus “_blank”? In the above example, specifying “_top” replaces the current page with the new URL, wheras pecifying “_blank” opens a new browser window in my IE7/WIN 9,0,60,235 (debug).
