Link in Flash Animation - screensaver does not exit

Post by robby_x »

Hi,
just started a few tests with this tool...

I used a flash animation with an including link. Animation works but after clicking
the link the screensaver does not exit. The requested site opens in explorer in
background and the taskbar appears.

I want the screensaver to exit only when ESC button will be pressed.

Any ideas ?

nobody at home ? no support ?

Hey, dev team. You give us the possibility to test the software but
without support this is not the right way to win new customers ...

This is really a nice software but is there a workaround for the problem
or do you plan to fix it ?

Please note that in order to receive dedicated support, you must contact us via the web based support form. Forum is checked by developers only once every week and must be used in case your question is not urgent, otherwise you can contact us and receive an answer within 24 - 48 hours.

As for your question, the screensaver was not designed for this purpose (opening links from flash files). It has internal link opening mechanism (specified link is open upon keypress of the F1 key).

Also you can try setting Exit Conditions as follows:
Mouse move - off
Mouse button click - on

This could help.

ok, thx for reply.

Does not work for this kind of application but I will remember this
tool in the future... Perhaps you will add this feature in the future ?

Regards

The problem is we can not catch the "click" if it is cached by the SWF. So either the click goes to the SWF and SWF doe something with it or the click goes to screensaver. It is not possible for a mouse click to go both to SWF button and from there also go to screensaver window, because SWF has already processed (swallowed) the click-event.
