Movie Showing Twice in WebHelp Output

Post by jblackwood »

I followed the instruction someone posted in another topic from MadCap Support. I want to be able to click on a hyperlink to a movie and have it come up in it's own custom size browser. The instruction from the other post is pasted below:

Below is an example of the sort of Javascript you might use to open a movie at the desired size. This sample opens Google at 400x400, and suppresses the web browser toolbar and menus.

<a href="#" OnClick="javascript:newwindow=window.open('http://www.google.com','name','height=400,width=400,resizable=false,scrollbars=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no');" >Link Text</a>


I substituted my flash htm file for the http://www.google.com. What I don't see addressed here is what to select in the Insert Hyperlink dialog as far as Target Frame, etc go. When I point to my flash htm file and enter what I want my hyperlink text to be, the "#" and "Link Text" from the piece of code above changes accordingly. When I click on the hyperlink I created for the movie in my generated WebHelp output, the movie does come up in a new window which is sized just as I specified; however, it also comes up in the existing Help frame so what I get is both going at the same time. Is there a way for it not to come up in the Help frame. Thanks!

Hi:

Just saw this message. I tried this with one of my Flash movies. I embedded the code in the HTML of the page, and it worked perfectly. Didn't use the hyperlink dialog.
