AS2/CS3: window.open in HTML in XML into Flash

Okay, here goes: My Flash CS3 file displays HTML text, read in from an XML file (within CDATA). The HTML text contains links in the form of <a> (anchor) tags (of course).

I am attempting to open a new customized browser window whenever a user clicks on a displayed link. So far, I am able to open a window, but the customizing attributes (“width=600,…” etc.) are ignored.

Rather than displaying for you the one dozen variations I have (unsuccessfully) attempted, does anyone have a simple example of something that actually works?

If what I’m describing is not sufficiently clear, please advise and I’ll try again.

Thanks in advance!
