hello all,

I wanna make something like an pop up advert when the movie starts. I’m currently using a script some like this:

openWin1 = function(url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) {  
getURL(“javascript:window.open(’” add url add “’,’” add winName add “’,'width=” add w add “,height=” add h add “,top=” add winTop add “,left=” add winLeft add “,toolbar=” add toolbar add “,scrollbars=” add scrollbars add “,resizable=” add resizable add “,menubar=” add menubar add “,status=” add status add “,directories=” add directories add “,location=” add location add “’); void(0);”);  
};  
onEnterFrame = function() {  
address = “/src.swf”;  
winName = “win1”;  
width = 450;  
height = 270;  
toolbar = 0;  
location = 0;  
directories = 0;  
status = 0;  
menubar = 0;  
scrollbars = 0;  
resizable = 0;  
openWin1(address, winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);  
};

but whenever I play the movie it opens a thousand new windows and crashes the pc. How do I fix this?
