dynamic vars in rev browser

[reelstuff]

Hello everyone,

I am attempting to open a new browser window, this is the example code from the documentation,

Code: Select all

on browserNewUrlWindow pInstanceId, pUrl
	  go stack (the owner of me)
	end browserNewUrlWindow

While experimenting with the browser and clicking on a link that opens in a new window, I used the message watcher, I can see that the following occurs.

Code: Select all

browserBeforeNavigate
 browserBeforeNavigate
browserNewURLWindow
 BrowserNewUrLWindow
browserBeforeNavigate
 browserBeforeNavigate

I am wondering the best way to use revBrowserOpen function

dynamically, to open a new "window"

revBrowserOpen(windowId [, url ] )

The challenge is that with this code, uses revBrowserOpen to load the initial URL

Which I would like to do dynamically,

Code: Select all

command browserInit
  local tBrowserId
  put revBrowserOpen(the windowId of this stack, "http://somewebsitecomcom/index.php") into tBrowserId
  browserEnsure tBrowserId
  put tBrowserId into sBrowserId
  
  revBrowserSet sBrowserId, "rect", the rect of graphic "Browser Rect" of me
  revBrowserSet sBrowserId, "scrollbars", true
end browserInit

So if I had a field, uField_url

which has a variable of http://mywebsite.com and

I put that into the revBrowserOpen(windowId [, uField_url ] )

which I am sure does not work, but for the sake of experimentation.

I am wondering how I can put, dynamic URL into a new browser and open it to show the new content.

any suggestions or thoughts are always welcomed.

Tim,

Did you ever figure this one out? What did you do to open the link in a new window with a browser object?

Hi, sadly, I moved on without finding the best overall solution, I am hoping for some big enhancements, Soon, but so far, I have given up on this plugin as it is, I believe that it has some good potential, which I expect we will learn more about sometime after may of this year.

I have never used the browser object much, but to make a new window with a browser object, you need to make a new stack, adn create a browser object in that. In the same step, you send an url to the new browser object.

An untested example:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
  put "http://some.url.you.like.com" into theURL
  create stack "new browser"
  put revbrowseropen(the windowID of stack "new browser", theURL) into theIdentifier
  --revbrowser opens with a rect of 0,0,0,0 so you need to set it correctly
  revBrowserSet theIdentifier, "rect", the rect of this card
end mouseUp

Thank you, yes, that would be the ticket,

I will check that out, I appreciate your post and info thanks.
