AS3 popover code only working in Chrome

Report · Sep 10, 2013

I'm using this AS3 code to open popover window:

//facebook button//

fbBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fb); function fb(Event:MouseEvent):void{

ExternalInterface.call("window.open", "https://www.facebook.com/pages/Voiceguy1-Communications-Voiceovers-by-Chris-Mezzolesta/1057931994430...", "win", "height=559,width=1000,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes", "_blank"); }

It works great in Chrome. In Safari it takes a long time (30-60 seconds) to work. In Firefox it gives me this error message:

Warning: Unresponsive script A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. Script: http://chrisvoiceover.com/:16

but still opens the popover, only it opens behind the browser.

Help?

to confirm, create a new fla add that button and that code and test. any problem?

I tried that and am still having this issue. It is also happening on these,

separate sites:

http://arthur-chu.com/ (click any of the social media links on the ³eraser²)

http://robinrayeller.com/ (click any of the social media links at the

bottom)

http://www.perrynorton.com/ (click any of the social media links at the

bottom)

I could list lots of others with the same code causing the same issue but

only in Firefox.

I just discovered thought that in an AS2 site that I built,

http://adambehr.com that the popover code that I used works fine in Firefox,

Safari and Chrome. That code is:

on (release) {

var jscommand:String =

"window.open('http://www.youtube.com/user/tundramonkey100/videos?view=1','wi

n','height=559,width=1000,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');";

getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");

}
