Hi, i’m trying to get a javascript popup working from inside flash. It works fine appart from 2 problems.

1)I’d like to swap [COLOR=#800080]**[COLOR=red]‘index.htm’[/COLOR]** [/COLOR][COLOR=black]for a variable,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][/COLOR]

```auto
 
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open ([COLOR=red] **'index.htm'** [/COLOR], 'newWin', 'width=400, height=300, left=0 ,top=0, toolbar=No, location=No, scrollbars=No, status=No, resizable=No,fullscreen=No,**[COLOR=purple]menubar=No[/COLOR]**,'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");

```

I was trying the following example, but the popUp looks for [http://url](http://url/). It takes the url variable as being a page called url. I can’t find a way to pass in a variable without breaking the javascript formatting.

```auto

var [COLOR=red] **url** [/COLOR]:String="[http://www.bbc.co.uk](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/String=http://www.bbc.co.uk/index.htm)"; 
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open ([COLOR=red] **'url'** [/COLOR], 'newWin', 'width=400, height=300, left=0 ,top=0, toolbar=No, location=No, scrollbars=No, status=No, resizable=No,fullscreen=No,**[COLOR=purple]menubar=No[/COLOR]**,'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");

```

1. [COLOR=black] I’d prefer not to show the browser address bar - [COLOR=purple] **menubar=No** [/COLOR] doesn’t seem to work in flash.[/COLOR]

Any help appreciated.  
Thanks.
