This method for popping-up a new browser window:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered\_popup.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm)

Works great using the default publish settings (Flash 5), but when I change the settings to Flash 8/AS2 it doesn’t work anymore.

This same issue happens with every other method I’ve tried.

What am I missing here?

Thanks,
