I have an image on my flash site that I would like to be able to click and have a window open up to show the image at full size. Keep in mind I’m not all that good with actionscripting so I’m looking for something pretty simple if at all possible.

Also do I have to put the full size image on an html page or something like that?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

There is a pop up window tutorial on this site.

Run a search for centered pop up window.

I tried that tutorial but I can’t seem to get it to work properly. when I click on my button I end up getting a window the full size of the screen and there is nothing in it???

There is something wrong with how you are doing it.

Ah, I figured it out…it doesn’t work when you just preview it through flash. You have to put it in an html page first. :beam:

Oh yeah, because the window.open feature is Javascript, which much be interpreted by your browser to work correctly.
