Whatsup? I’m making a site and on the site I’ve got a contact button. I want a pop-up window to appear when my visitors click on the button. I don’t mean a new window on their browser, but just a window on the flash site. What code do I use so the window appear when the button is clicked? I don’t want it to change to another frame in the timeline. Just a window popping up in the same frame. And I want a close button on the window so when that button is clicked you’ll just close the window without going to a new frame. Hope you got it! I’ll try to illustrate it with some images if you don’t understand;) Thanks:D ---

You need to attach a MovieClip. 1. Make the “window”, press F8 to make it a MovieClip, then delete it form the stage so it’s still in your library 2. right click on it in the library and click “linkage”, then click “export for actionscript”. Give it a good identifier name. 3.then in the main movie, put this code on the button: ```auto on (release){ attachMovie("linkageidentifier", "somename", getNextHighestDepth()); } ``` (replace “linkageidentifier” with the name you gave it. “somename” is the instance name for it, you can use this the refer to this clip later) ---

Thanks! that worked fine:D But what code do I write on the “close” button on the “window”? So the “window” disapears. And how do I decide the position of the “window”? Now it just appears over the contact-button. I want it to appear someplace else. Thanks alot:) ---

forget it. thats not so important, the location of the window I mean. But how do I close the window again? I’ve got a close button in the same movieclip as the window. And what code do I use so I can close the window and sort of send it back to the library so it disappears? Is there a code instead of this: on (release){ attachMovie(“linkageidentifier”, “somename”, getNextHighestDepth()); } -that sort of detach the movie? Something like this?: on (release){ detachMovie(“linkageidentifier”, “somename”, getNextHighestDepth()); } I don’t want the window there all the time of course… ---

you can do the same with “loadMovie” function. And when you want to close winndow. you can use unload() function… that’s all i think. … you dont need to use this attachmovie function… it is silly i think… ---

Ummm… loadmovie is for loading external clips, not things in the library. I was not replying in hopes that he might crack open the Flash help and realize it is a great resource. Heres a little hint: [http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action\_scripts/actionscript\_dictionary/actionscript\_dictionary578.html](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary578.html) ---
