Hi!  
I have just created a flash site and now I have a question. How can I make Flash to open a new explorer window when I click on a button so that my basic web page remains open. Like if I click on a picture, a new window will open, where that picture will be magnified. I didn’t want to make this all in one movie, because pictures are too large(1Mb)

Thanks for your help.
