Hyperlinks open in the same browser window

Hey Gang!

How do I create a hyperlink so that it opens in the same browser window and don't keep open a new window each time?

See you soon!

Hello

It's kinda a 'hack', but you can use a Flash movie embedded to have more control over the process of any hyperlink. Basically, you simulate the hyperlink to a button in Flash, but instead of looking like a navigation button, you use the text of your hyperlink. This has the added benefit that you can make the text respond to mouse rollovers and clicks with a color change, something will links in PowerPoint.

So, assuming you named the instance of your 'button' as myLink_btn, you add some actionscript to the main timeline:

myLink_btn.onRelease = function () {}
getURL (" http://my.url.com/index/index.htm","_self");
}

You compile your little Flash movie and just embed in your Powerpoint where you want. The student will never see the difference. We use this solution to provide the student a "Printable" presentation version - until we compile the PowerPoint with presenter, allows us to make a pdf Acrobat version and upload it to the Breeze server. On the first page of the presentation is a based on flash "link" to the pdf document, and the student assumes only Breeze is 'print' a copy of the presentation.

More on getURL: you can have load a window named by replacing '_self' by the name of the window or a new window with "_blank". The getURL command also allows to send javascript commands in the browser that is running the Breeze presentation. If you need to use relative links (if you go to the construction of a stand-alone application on a CD, for example, and you want to link to the pdf documents in a subdirectory), this is the best way to do it, as the presenter did a bad job of conversion of links in PowerPoint. And, as I said, you can have the links "light up" when the mouse user above them, something that connects in PowerPoint will not be.

But... to say that you have 30 pdf documents on your Breeze server, and you want to make a navigation to a simple page for them. If you are not concerned about LMS data capture, it's MUCH easier to simply create the interface all in a single Flash document and send the student to one - just put all the pdf documents in a folder on the server of the game is to "allow public consultation", and they don't don't even need to log the server to read. :) It is an excellent solution if your company is like mine, where some people have created their own little fiefdom controlling the real web server, and you use Breeze to accommodate all kinds of resources that would normally be available on your intranet. If you say that you want to host a resource on the 'web', you will need to go through them (and what a pleasure a process i.e. - they insist on building everything themselves to justify their budget)... but if its on 'training Breeze sever', they don't care.

Laughing out loud.

  • How to animate canvas Link to open in the same browser window?

    I have created a Web film animate CC and want to click on it to post a link to a URL.  However, I want the URL linked to open in the same browser window - not a new browser window.  I used the code snippet of the canvas in order to link the URL, but it seems to work for opening in a new browser window.  How can I change the code so that the link opens in the same browser window?

  • Cannot connect two work spaces in the same browser window

    Hello
    Happy holidays to all. I have problem to identify two workspaces (associated with two diagrams) in a browser with two tabs in the browser. The situation as the following:

    -Using Internet Explorer 7.0 or Firefox
    -Login in A work space, associated with the AA scheme. (connect successfully)
    -Then, click New tab in the same browser window, log in the workspace B, associated with the schema BB. (connect successfully)
    - The tab of connection of space one was closed (kicks) automatically.

    If I open two separate browsers, I can connect a work space in the window of a browser and connect another workspace in a separate window, not tab.

    Why? Is somewhere, I missed setting or configuration for APEX? All advice is greatly appreciated.

    Candice

    You're right, you can't do that.

    Try using Firefox chrome and one for the other.

  • How to have opening the web page in the same browser window after redirect in placed in Dreamweaver Flash video?

    Hello

    Would appreciate if someone can help me.

    Web site: www.Paris-Pet.com

    A flash video plays on the index page. The next action is placed in the last frame of the video in Flash:

    navigateToURL (new URLRequest ("http://www.paris-pet.com/home.html"));


    It does not work as expected with one exception: instead of heading to the home page of the index page when the video is finished, it opens the home page in a second window, leaving empty flash movie browser window. Is not the seamless design, I hoped, and I have also been informed on some computers, blocking of pop-up windows up preventing them transition smoothly to the rest of the web site.

    I would like the redirection to open the home page in the same window of the browser as the film in the index page has played.

    Help, please. Print designer in over his head.

    JM

    "_self" specifies the current frame in the current window.
    "_blank" specifies a new window.
    "_parent" specifies the parent of the current image.
    "_top" specifies the top-level frame in the current window.

    navigateToURL (http://www.paris-pet.com/home.html, "_self");

    FYI... it's really a question of actionscript.  If you have more problems, you can ask in the flash forums (you'll more help there than here)

  • Different applications of the ADF will not work in the same browser window

    Hello
    When I recorded with an application and then open another browser window and I just record in the second request. Back to first and take any action and it shows error, as if my session has expired.
    I put a ViewHandler method sobreescibe restoreView (FacesContext FacesContext, String viewId) as follows:

    UIViewRoot root = null;
    root = parent.restoreView (FacesContext, viewId);
    If (root == null) {}
    root = createView (FacesContext, viewId);
    }
    Returns the root;

    But this solution is temporary, because I need to create a view of all the data you had in the PageFlow, for example, the results of a search.

    Anyone know if this is a bug in the adf, or have I missed some settings?

    The versions that I work with are:

    JDeveloper: 11.1.1.3.0
    WebLogic Server: 10.3.3.0

    Hello

    I had a similar problem. I solved this way:
    -create the weblogic.xml (deployment descriptor Weblogic--> located in JDeveloper when you tap new "Général Deployment Descriptor") for your ViewController project.
    -set the cookie path to a unique name (for both apps)

    example:

    
    
      
        /myapp
      
    
    

    and the demand for /myOtherApp ;)

  • Help with a link to a web page in the same browser window

    I've just updated my Flash MX to CS5.5 and am completely perplexed at what seems to be the most basic of functions.

    I have a small Flash animation that is embedded on a site. At the end of the film, there is a call to action to click on another page on this site. However, it seems that the only action in the Code Snippets Panel is for an action that opens a new browser window. I miss the Panel basic actions! Am I missing something here? How do I have to?

  • Document from Windows Media Player AND MS Windows open on the same screen

    Hello.

    I'm doing a very long media (recorded voice) transcript of court recorded on Windows Media Player in a document typed on MS Word (using Windows XP).

    I would like to know if it is possible to have Windows Media Player and my document strikes MS Word open on the SAME screen.  I am currently switch between two programs using my bottom toolbar.  It is extremely time consuming and not very well.  Ideally, I would like to open my Windows Media Player, in a small screen on the right upper side of my MS Word document.  This would allow me to work out of the same screen without having to click will result in my bottom toolbar to switch between these programs.  I'm sure that I explained properly :-).  ANY help, suggestions and advice will be highly appreciated.

    Kind regards

    You should be able to do it by opening the two programs, then right click on the taskbar and selecting "Tile Windows vertically".  Just make sure that they are only two open programs.

    This screenshot shows WMP and WordPad, because I do not have Word installed, but it should work exactly the same thing:
