Talking to a Pop Up
November 26, 2007 12:00 AM
This question has been asked frequently: How do I communicate with a pop-up window when trying to go to the next page or close the pop-up window?You're only a few variables away. You must add an exit button, or some sort of user interface, to the pop-up in order for this function to work.First create a variable: Popup_Open with 0 as the default (0 signifies that the Popup window is currently closed and 1 will = open).On the pop-up window page, place an action on the page: On: Show Action: Modify Variable Target: Popup_Open Value: 1 Mod Type: Set Variable ContentsAdd another action to the exit button to reset Popup_Open to 0 when pop-up closes: On: Click Action: Modify Variable Target: Popup_Open Value: 0 Mod Type: Set Variable ContentsOn the main window, create an action group with 2 actions.The first is your desired action (GoTo Next Page, Close window, etc...). The following example goes to the next page. Action: Go To Target: Next Page Condition: Popup_Open - Equal To - 0The second action will re-run the Action Group Action: Run Action Group Target: Name of Action Group Time Delay: 0.5 seconds (adjust as required but remember that resources are being exhausted while this action is continually running) Condition: Popup_Open - Equal To - 1To run the action group, add an action to the launch page. On: Show Action: Run Action Group Target: Name of Action Group (above) Time Delay: Use a delay here in order to keep the action group from re-running immediately (saving resources)Edited By: WeeOrg on 2007-11-26 11:53:44
