Flash Alert
I have a logout button made in Flash that when clicked goes to logout.asp. I would like to ask the user to confirm they really want to logout before it directs them to logout.asp. Is there a way to do this. I was thinking somekind of alert box or something. Thanks. I have 2004 MX Educational.

Flash Buttons are A Very Bad Thing(tm) for numerous reasons. (Mainly accessibility)

Your problem is one of those reasons.

Don't use them.

Use this XHTML:

Code:
<button id="btnLogout" type="submit">Logout</button>


With some CSS to create some fancy effects or even include an image inside the button:

Code:
<button id="btnLogout" type="submit"><img src="logout.png" alt="Logout Button Image" /></button>


Anyway, use a script like the following

Code:
 window.onload=function WindowLoad(event) {
 	var btnLogout = document.getElementById("btnLogout");
 	btnLogout.onclick = function {
 		if(confirm("Do you want to logout?")) {
 			var frmOne = document.GetElementById("frmOne");
 			frmOne.submit()
 		}
 	}
 }


Where "frmOne" is the ID attribute of the form

That makes no sense whatsoever.

Regarding Flash...

You can't use it in this situation for reasons I've made perfectly clear!

Repeated:

  • Inacessible to lesser-known UAs
  • People without Flash won't be able to use the site
  • Adds unessacery page-load time
  • Flash buttons look unsightly on a site anyway (from their cliche'd overuse thanks to their inclusion in Dreamweaver)
  • What's the point anyway?

I guess I was looking for some ActionScript to attach to a button to make a msgbox pop up.
