Hello,

I have been searching for a pop-up solution for flash sites.  
It appears the tutorial on this site is perfect. The tutorial works fine on the site, but when I add it to my server I get a white page  
with this URL:

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);

I downloaded the source files from the site, published it, then put the html file and the .swf file on the server. Seems like a no brainer!

Any gracious guru have any ideas they wouldn’t mind sharing??

Hi!

I have had problems with these silly popup things for some time. I actually recently figured it out. I don’t know if this was the tut you used:

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered\_popup.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm)

if so, make sure you have your actions on the button and the frame as well. If you don’t want a button, I think I used it once on a movieClip with onClipEvent(load).

Hope that helps!
