                            <Windows> 
        
                                    <telerik:RadWindow        
        
                                        OpenerElementID="<%# lnkFlash.ClientID %>"

Hello Haderach,

You cannot put a flash movie inside a link button and refer the link ID to open RadWindow, because you cannot get the click on the link button, but on the movie.

In order to achieve the desired result you have to edit the .fla file of the movie, and use the getURL method of ActionScript to set the scirpt that will open RadWindow and then export the .swf file.

Unfortunately, I cannot help here, as we are not much into Flash, but I believe that it is relatively easy to do this, something of the kind:

getURL('javascript: radopen('window.aspx')');

Hello Mr. Ivanov,

I need to open a RadWindow through a flash file and your solution [ getURL('javascript:radopen('....')'); ] though seems quite simple but I am unable to figure out how the flash file will recognize the function radopen() ?? Do we require to register the telerik DLL with the flash? If Yes, then HOW? [ We're using Adobe Flash cs3 and Actionscript 2 to create the flash file and VS 2008 along with Telerik 2008.3.1125.35 to open the RadWindow!!! ]

It'd be kind if you can please help me out!

Thanks and regards.

Hi Muneezah Hashim,

I was wondering if you have tried the getURL() solution?

I believe that firing radopen though getURL is as simple as firing getURL('javascript:alert("")') with the same method. in Flash, getURL() loads a document from a specific URL into a window or passes variables to another application at a defined URL. By the light of the above, you may also use pseudo protocols such as javascript: or mailto:, and the method will act exactly as the <a href="javascript:radopen()" /> or <a href="mailto:email@server.com" /> will work. However, the best proof of concept, is trying it.
