Chromeless window launch without button? (how to)

1

hello,
Ive followed the tut on the chromeless window and it works really well but what if I dont want it to be launched from a button but be launched from a movieclip? Im assuming the code would be the same except for where it calls to the instance name and then puts an action on it instead of Onpress it would need to be something else but I cant seem to figure it out.

anyone know what I can do?

how do you you the action called?
at the end of a MC?? Just call it with out the on (release) (

I think that im getting you??:wink:

put whatever you want… just put it on the last frame of our timeline:
getURL(“http://www.macromedia.com”,"_self"); or whatever java you are using;)

ok cool I figured it out but now another question. I noticed that you cant open more than one of the chromeless popup windows at a time because of an ie bug or something… Has anyone found a work around for this? I really like the effect and would like to add it to more windows.

just let me know

If you want to open multiple windows, you have to give each of them different names (the second parameter).

For example, if you open one in a window named “popup” and then open another with the name “popup”, it just replaces that one. The workaround is to give it a unique name.

hey trundrumbalind
thanks for responding to the last couple of my posts youve really helped me out alot. but I dont quite understand what you mean replacing the name… I tried to replace the second customizable string in the html but that didnt work. Is there anyone you could maybe like post a sample code of it and mark what it is I need to change?

thanks in advance
