In the authoring environment, the gotoNetPage
command launches the preferred browser if it is enabled. In projectors, this command tries to launch the preferred browser set with the Network Preferences dialog box or browserName
command. If neither has been used to set the preferred browser, the goToNetPage
command attempts to find a browser on the computer.
Note: Executing any network Lingo operations concurrently with a Shockwave Audio (SWA) stream can cause interruptions in the playback of the SWA stream.
Example
This script loads the file Newpage.html into the frame or window named frwin. If a window or frame in the current window called frwin exists, that window or frame is used. If the window frwin doesn't exist, a new window named frwin is created.
on keyDown gotoNetPage "Newpage.html", "frwin" end
Example
This handler opens a new window regardless of what window the browser currently has open:
on mouseUp goToNetPage "Todays_News.html", "_new" end
