[mround]

I have put a swish file on my index.htm page. I want the program to go to another page after it has finished playing the swish file. How do I do this?
I have a skip intro button on my index.htm page that takes the user when ever they wish to the home.htm page, but I want swish to go to the home.htm page automatically after it has played the swish file once.

Please help me out !!

Thanks,
Mark

Doesn't seem to work, do matter URL I put in, http://www.swish.com is launched.

Also I don't want the user to have to do an action like press a mouse button. The program should move to the new URL byitself at the end of the swish movie.

mround,
are you using one of the SWiSH demos as the basis of your project? If so, select your scene,click on the scene tab in SWiSH and you will see that a URL has been assigned to the scene, remove that and it will probably work for you (presuming you are using SWiSH demo, that is).
re - where to put your action, click in the scene timeline in the frame you want this action to occur, and then click on the Action tab. Select 'Go to URL' and enter your URL and then select your target from the dropdown menu, 'blank' is a new browser window.

This is easy

create a javascript code to open the new window with the stimulated size in the html file the swf is located on, then tell the last frame of the swf file to go to url..javascript command

problem solved

hellrazor,
easy if you know how!!
do you have an example that mround could follow?
If so, help him (and a lot of other people) by posting the appropriate code. This has been a question that many forum members have asked.

Ok here goes the javascript:

<script language="JavaScript">
function YOURNAME() {
window.open('NAMEHERE.html','EANITHING','toolbar=( yes/no),location=(yes/no),directories=(yes/no),status=(yes/no),menubar=(yes/no),resizable=(yes/no),copyhistory=(yes/no),scrollbars=(yes/no),width=(xxx in pixels),height=(xxx in pixels)');
}
</script>


in the frame action go to url

javascript:YOURNAME()
