Self-aligning XML Menu Bar

Hi, My objective is to click on the ABOUT US button and it to open a new window with a defined width and height. I tried

var jscommand:String = “window.open(‘http://www.adobe.com’,’win’,’height=200,width=300,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes’);”; getURL(“javascript:” + jscommand + ” void(0);”);

it works but when I modify the code to read the link from the xml file it does not work

var jscommand:String = “window.open(‘http://+link’,’win’,’height=200,width=300,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes’);”; getURL(“javascript:” + jscommand + ” void(0);”);

PLEASE HELP ! THANKS ! LP

Hi there lpriego, I’m not very familiar with javascript pop-ups, but I read a few forum posts on the web and see that you are trying to load in the link with +link. This would have to be +this.link, because link does not refer to the button (which is referred to with this inside the button’s mouse event). I don’t think the http:// should be put in front the +this.link. I would probably go for putting the http:// part in the XML file.

Btw pastie is better to post your code, to avoid smiley’s

Is there Anyway to make the content crossfade or something. The sudden switch is too harsh. Thank you.

Hi Patrick,

Sorry for the late reply. I will try to get back to you tomorrow. Extremely busy at the moment.

Not the most flexible component. Adding longer labels does not work. Skinning should be through XML .
