Launch Centered Pop Up in Flash

programming flash
1

I did the tuturial exactly as written and still cannot get movie to launch a centered pop up.

My buttons are in movie clips, so hopefulll that does not interfere with the actions.

has anyone had this problem and know why I cannot get this to wok, or am i an idiot!

Which tutorial are you talking about?

3

I used the launch Centered Pop Up Window from this site at http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm

Are you trying to play a flash movie in that popup?

5

no, actually it is launching an html page with no flash at all…

6

Where are you putting the

MovieClip.prototype...

chunk of code? It is advisable that you put it on a frame on the main stage.

I put the action script on the buttons themselves.
I got it working now… what I think happened is that in the Window Name: I had two words with a space. I changed it to one word with no spaces and it seems to work fine now.

thanks for your help!

oh, if you have a name with a space, use the “+” sign instead of a space. so for example “Post+reply”
