[SWFObject] Express Install Redirect Issue

[Azimuth New Media]

Thanks Geoff,

That was the problem - I wasn't sure how it was possible to complete a clean transition - as it looks rubbish at the moment - but it should look great.

So I need to redirect to a page that says your upgrade is complete click here - which then redirects back to my resized window.

The obvious question for me is where on earth in the chain of the events should this occur? Do I have to modify the SWFObject source code?

Hope you follow?

Chris

  first off: i don't recommend doing that.


  when the user finishes their install, the original window will close, and a new browser window will open and redirect to your site, so the user will have the address bar and all their default toolbars active.


  then if you resize that window, all that stuff will still be there and it will look really funny.


  the best you can do is to detect the referring site (check for adobe.com) and then show a special message, like 'your upgrade was successful, click here to continue' or something like that.

    Hi List

    Bear with me this is an SWFobject question in the end...

    From my site I have a little bit of javascript that opens a pop up window with my flash movie - which is exactly the dimensions of my flash movie. Nothing extraordinary.

    When I run express install - which works fine, the browser redirects back to my page but it is open in a full window, instead of at the 564x564px dimension I'd specified.

    I know why not, because the code doesn't exist in the target page, so the obvious is to add the code to the page where my movie is embedded...which automatically resizes the browser window back to the 564x564 - okay - but, I can't get this working myself for some reason.

    So is there something I can do within the SWFobject script - I know there is this variable:

    so.setAttribute('xiRedirectUrl', 'http://www.example.com/upgradefinished.html');

    Is there anyway by using I can get the movie after upgrade to reload into the pop up - like target="_self"

    I hope you all follow.

    Thanks in advance

    Chris
