6. How to open a popup browser window

FFish Script does not provide any method to open a popup browser window. However, it can be done by the WebBrowser control:

Firstly let's create a hidden browser window and open a blank window. From [Main Menu]->[Tools]->[Insert ActiveX controls] insert the Web Browser control:

var var1 = createControl("Shell.Explorer.2", 0, 0, 0, 0);
var1.activex.navigate2("about:blank");

Then let's get the window object of the opened document.

var window = null;

var1.activex.NavigateComplete2 = function (obj, url)
{
var doc = obj.document;
window = doc.parentwindow;
}

Notice: you cannot use "var1.activex.document" before the navigating is complete. The expression will return null for the document might not be openned yet.

Now we can open the popup window:

var pop = window.open("about:blank", "preview",
"height=400,width=550,status=yes,toolbar=no,scrollbar=no,menubar=no,loc ation=no", false);
pop.document.write(html);

If you want to open a popup window without borders, you can use the method introduced by
http://www.jsmadeeasy.com/javascripts/Advanced/splashwin/splashwin.html

Here is the code taken from the site, we made a little changes to make it work in FFish Script

function launchSplashWin(contentType, contentString, width, height, left, top)
{
var w = window.screen.width;
var h = window.screen.height;
var l = (left != null) ? left : (w - width) / 2;
var t = (top != null) ? top : (h - height) / 2;

var uri = (contentType.toLowerCase() == "uri") ? contentString : "about:blank";

var splashWin = window.open(uri, '_splash', 'fullscreen=1,toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scro llbars=0,resizable=0', false );

splashWin.blur();
window.focus();

splashWin.resizeTo(width,height);
splashWin.moveTo(l, t);

if (contentType.toLowerCase() == "string")
{
var swd = splashWin.document;

swd.write(contentString);
swd.close();
}

splashWin.focus();
}

Notice: Though the "window.open" method takes 4 optional parameters, you must provide all its parameters in FFish Script, or it will say something like "wrong parameters".

We made a demo to preview the main movie in the popup window:

1. Prepare a string contains the HTML codes

var str = '<HTML><HEAD><meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=GB2312">';
str += '<TITLE>Preview</TITLE>';
str += '</HEAD>';
str += '<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF">';
str += '<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"';
str += 'codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"';
str += 'WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400">';
str += '<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="SWF_NAME">';
str += '<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>'
str += '<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF>'
str += '<EMBED src="SWF_NAME" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400"';
str += 'TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>';
str += '</OBJECT></BODY></HTML>';

var movie = getMovies()[0];
var html = str.replace(/SWF_NAME/g, movie);

2. Write the string to the document of the popup window

var pop = window.open("about:blank", "preview",
"height=400,width=550,status=yes,toolbar=no,scrollbar=no,menubar=no,loc ation=no", false);
pop.document.write(html);
