Open Window


The Open Window action lets you open a second window on top of the browser's default window. You can select what the new window will display by specifying a URL. It may take a few moments to open the new window.

To set up an Open Window action in the TimeLine Editor or attach it to a link:

1 Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) the Actions Track of the TimeLine Editor to insert an action marker, or select a mouse or key event and click the + button in the Actions palette.

2 Choose Open Window from the Link submenu of the Action menu in the Inspector or Actions palette.

3 Use the Point and Shoot button to link to a page or URL in the Site window, type in the URL in the Link text box, or click Browse and locate a local Web page.

4 If the current page is located in a frame set, use the Target text box to specify a target frame where the referenced page should appear.

5 Enter appropriate values (in pixels) in the Size text boxes to determine the initial size of the window when the browser opens it.

6 Select any of the following options to control the display:
  • Resize to allow resizing within the browser.
  • Scroll to control display scroll bars within the browser window.
  • Menu to control display of the browser's menu bar.
  • Dir. to display the standard browser directory buttons, such as What's New and What's Cool.
  • Status to display the status bar in the newly opened browser window. The status bar shows loading progress and URLs as the viewer moves the pointer over links.
  • Tools to display the browser's toolbar.
  • Loc. to show the URL location field at the top of the newly opened browser window.

    • 7 Preview the action in a 4.0 browser.
