changing window title from parent window

Luis · Jul 27, 2004

Hello

I'm opening a window with a SWF inside (no HTML, just the SWF) but in the
title bar appears something like

http://www.server.com/myDir/myWeb/Flash/myFlash.swf

i'd like to write something like "Wow!! look thos flash!!!".

Could I do that from the function who launch it??? with something like this?

myWin.title = 'Hello world!!!';

Sorry about my English!!! O

thank you in advance!! bye!!

Yep, thats because you are attempting to open the .swf file itself.

i'd like to write something like "Wow!! look thos flash!!!".

Then use an html page and the title attribute.

That depends on whether the .swf file allows the title to be set. Highly
doubtful, see above.

That's right. What he's saying is that, since you're opening a SWF
file, instead of an HTML file, there is no title attribute. If you
want to set the title, you can open an HTML file that contains the
SWF file, instead. One way would be:

function openSWF(URL,title) {
globalHTML = "<html><head><title>"
+title+"</title></head><body>"
+"<iframe width='100%' height='100%' "
+"frameborder='0' src='"+URL
+"'></iframe></body></html>";
myWin=window.open("javascript

pener.globalHTML");
}
