Centered Popup

Hey folks, thanks ahead of time…

I used the tutorial for Kirupa’s centered pop-up (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm) and that works fine initially. Within the swf file that loads into the popup window, a loadmovie command is executed that has two buttons. I tried to place the same pop-up structure on these buttons and they do not work. The buttons are supposed to load pop-up html files containing a quicktime movie. Why don’t they work?

Things I have already checked:

  1. All the code seems to be in the right place
  2. All the variables are input correctly
  3. All the quicktime odds and ends are working.

I appreciate the help. Take care.

this could be a relative addressing problem… so maybe try not using _root in your actionscript, because when a loadMovie command is used, the root timeline of the loaded movie is no longer its real root.

i think it’s because you are using loadmovie. This script has to be
executed from an html page, not directly out of an swf file.

Try getting those buttons to load within the movie that’s embeded
in the html page, I bet they work then. :wink:
