Hi all,

I have been using javascript popups in actionscript buttons for some time with no issues. However, on a specific movie I have 2 button links, each of which opens a pdf file. I need each pdf to open using the same new window to avoid multiple new windows opening.

This works fine on the first link I open - the new window appears on top of the main window. The second link, however, opens underneath the main window despite the focus() code. This only happens in IE - works fine in Firefox.

Code used:

link3\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
getURL (“javascript:NewWindow=window.open(‘docs/first.pdf’,‘newWin22’,‘width=700,height=500,left=10,top=10,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=Yes,status=Yes,resizable=Yes’);NewWindow.focus();void(0);”);  
}

link4\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
getURL (“javascript:NewWindow=window.open(‘docs/second.pdf’,‘newWin22’,‘width=700,height=500,left=10,top=10,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=Yes,status=Yes,resizable=Yes’);NewWindow.focus();void(0);”);  
}

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
