• My theme is TwentyFoureen. I have a Flash (SWF) banner in the sidebar. I did not upload the SWF file, it is a link. When clicking on the Flash banner the link opens in a popup. How to I get it to open in a new tab? My HTML is limited but I read somewhere I need to include getURL(“XXX”, “_blank”); Any idea where exactly this needs to go? If it is wrong, how do I get the link to open in a new tab when clicking on the banner? I tried targe’=_blank but it is not working.

    This is the SWF banner, I blanked out the link details:

    <object width="160" height="600" classid="clsid:XXX" codebase="https://XXX.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0"><param name="movie" value="//XXX.swf?clickTag=https://XXX&clickTAG=https://XXX" ><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed src="//XXX.swf?clickTag=https://XXX&clickTAG=https://XXX" quality="high" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="https://www.XXX.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="160" height="600" allowscriptaccess="always"/></object>

  • The details on coding links are here:

    target="_blank" should do it.
    Of course this is in “<a> .... </a>” type links, suggest that you refer to swf / flash documentation.
    Flash is not regarded well nowdays, certainly not suggested for new development.

    Hi Ross, target blank is not working, I am guessing because there is no href? I read something about clickTARGET=_blank , any idea if that will work? If yes, where about do I add it? I just read it now.

    All I have is the link I gave earlier, I cannot modify the flash itself, just the code I have. If target=_blank should work, where should I place it?

    <object width="160" height="600" classid="clsid:XXX" codebase="https://XXX.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0"><param name="movie" value="//XXX.swf?clickTag=https://XXX&clickTAG=https://XXX" ><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed src="//XXX.swf?clickTag=https://XXX&clickTAG=https://XXX" quality="high" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="https://www.XXX.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="160" height="600" allowscriptaccess="always"/></object>

    The target=_blank will not work as this is flash (SWF) and not img.

    It will not work for me because the SWF file is not uploaded to my site, it is a link given me, connecting to a CDN.

    I did find something but I am not sure I understand one small part. As this object SWF, maybe I need to add a new param for the new window:

    openLinksInNewWindow=true

    This should work from what I read buy I need some kind of ID:

    id=demo@demo&openLinksInNewWindow=true

    This id above is an example, what does the id mean? An id of what?

    This is where I read it, please help me implement it. All I need is to understand what is this id:

    https://tagul.com/forums/topic/forcing-links-to-open-in-a-new-window

    I did not upload the file. All I used is a link.

    Could it be the id of the widget?

    Kmessinger, my file is object SWF with Clicktag, it looks different. The XXX is me blanking out the site’s name:

    <object width="160" height="600" classid="clsid:XXX" codebase="https://XXX.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0"><param name="movie" value="//XXX.swf?clickTag=https://XXX&clickTAG=https://XXX" ><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed src="//XXX.swf?clickTag=https://XXX&clickTAG=https://XXX" quality="high" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="https://www.XXX.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="160" height="600" allowscriptaccess="always"/></object>
