Hello! Does anyone knows how to create an automatic pop up, Centered and sizable.
Meaning while the movie is playing at a certain keyframe it pops up with some text and the user will be able to close it.
Thanks Mangu.

Autolaunch it at a certain frame. You can use some basic javascript to close it. I belive its just myWindowName.close();

Thanks grandps5, for the link but javascript and I not in good terms lately… All the tutorial that I have seen are done with a button , I succeded of doing that but for it to pop up automatically that I would need some scripts, if you may.
Thanks.

well you can just put the script in the timeline instead of on a button. That should autolaunch it.

Here. You have to view it through a browser for it to work so open the html file to see it.

Thanks, I have done it a bit differently but it works.
I’ll keep your example handy, as I am sure I’ll use it.
Many thanks.
