How do you launch a small and centered popup window at the same time that you open another html window as background?  
I tried to do this but it doesn’t always work. Especially if you return to the opening and begin again, the small centered window doesn’t appear. I used the code from Kirupa to launch the centred popup window and I added my own bit -getURL(“white.html”, “\_parent”); here it is complete code:

on (release) {  
getURL(“white.html”, “\_parent”);  
// customize the window that gets opened  
// 0 equals NO.  
// 1 equals YES.  
address = “museum.html”;  
target\_winName = “introduction”;  
width = 700;  
height = 600;  
toolbar = 0;  
location = 0;  
directories = 0;  
status = 0;  
menubar = 0;  
scrollbars = 0;  
resizable = 0;  
// sends data back to the function  
openWinCentre(address, target\_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);  
}

can anyone help?  
thanx
