I think I know what you mean.

<a href = “http://may17th.tripod.com/newwindowtest.html”>Is this the type of thing? (Click on the logo, then double-click a desktop icon).</a>

The way I did it is, instead of having it come in and out of existance, I just had the pop-up windows be initially off-screen, then are moved on-screen when you double click on a desktop icon.

To move it, but the way, just put in this type of code:

about._x = 500;
about._y = 500;

Since you mentioned it, you can also go:

about._height = 200;
about._width = 300;

or if you mean a browser window, then you have to use javascript.

LA nice site by the way.

There’s a pretty good open-source .fla on that…

That should help you out.
