Ok, this is mt second post! Again, i’m sorry for my bad english…
Ok, i have to use pop-up for my portfolio website.Before i always use this method [http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Actionscripting/Opening\_-Mohamed\_-836/index.php](http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Actionscripting/Opening_-Mohamed_-836/index.php) but this tutorial is only for 1 swf…i have to pop-up about 5-6 different .swf
I dont want a tutorial for a pop-up with a url but for a multiple external .swf
any idea? I check the tutorial from Kirupa([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered\_popup.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm)) but i think this is only for a URL pop-up(??)
Thanks for your help
Rick

I’m confused, what are you asking for? You want to pop up 5 windows? Or one window with 5 swfs? Or 5 links to 5 different popups? Or 1 link to 1 popup that loads external swfs?

Ok…sorry!
i have 5 or 6 different external .swf to show in my section ‘‘portfolio’’…These .swf are not online(not on a website), so when we clic a button, i need a pop-up for one of the external .swf.
Exemple:
button 1 call----- pirate.swf (popup)
Button 2 call----- boat.swf(pop-up)
Button 3 call-----sun.swf(pop-up)
etc…
Understand? so it’s 5 links to 5 different external swf popups…
Thanks !!

```auto
function Launch(page) {
OpenWin = this.open(page, "Window Title", "toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=850,height=450");
}
```
Put this on the HTML page it is JScript and then pass a string which is the path to the external swf file to the function
if in flash
```auto
getURL("javascript:Launch('path')");
```
in HTML link
```auto
LINK
```
