hi im building a portfolio site - and my knowledge of flash i have built a movie which measures 740px by 420px. In the movie, as a link to portfolio items, i have a grid of 20 buttons, each which represents a portfolio item. i want the user to be able to click on each of the buttons and for the portfolio to open in a separate window - with different measurements to the first, say around 400px by 420px. I want the user to be able to navigate between teh twenty different portfolio items either using this grid on the first movie, or by using a similar grid in the new window. I dont want the user to end up having twenty differnet windows or excessive download times. is it possible to do this? thanks very much for your help and hello to you all (this is my first post) ---
