If some one could help it would really help me out. = )

I follow the center pop up tutorial on the site and it won’t work within my page. the exact name of the tutorial is “Launching a Centered Pop-Up Window” and it’s at [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered\_popup.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.asp).  
When I entered my website and H x W in the downloaded source that came with the tutorial, it worked, but I did it on my page and it open and explorer window looking for the following in the address bar:

javascript:var%20myWin;%20if(!myWin%20||%20myWin.closed){myWin%20=%20window.open(‘[http://www.kirupa.com/modular/pop-up.htm’,‘kirupa’,‘width=400,height=300,toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,top=’+((screen.height/2)-(150))+’,left=’+((screen.width/2)-(200))+’](http://www.kirupa.com/modular/pop-up.htm','kirupa','width=400,height=300,toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,top='+((screen.height/2)-(150))+',left='+((screen.width/2)-(200))+')’)}else{myWin.focus();};void(0);[SIZE=1]fasdf[/SIZE]

Can any one help? do I have to do something different if I am embedding the action script within a movie?

Thank you in advance for your help and willingness to spend time on my problem. = )

I figured out that it work, but only if I export it as an htlm. For this site, I am trying to do a full screen with out the explorer window. how can I do a center pop up out of that or out of a flash stand alone presentation?

Thank You
