[font=Comic Sans MS][color=black]Hello Everyone.[/color][/font]  
[font=Comic Sans MS][/font]  
[font=Comic Sans MS]I don’t usually post any difficulties/problems that I encouter with Flash as I aways seem to work the issue out…eventually, however this occasion is different.[/font]  
[font=Comic Sans MS][/font]  
[font=Comic Sans MS]The tutorial on this wonderful site for “Launching a Centred Pop Up Window” is excellent. I have followed it to the letter to use this functionality on a site that is currently in development:[/font]  
[font=Comic Sans MS][/font]  
[font=Comic Sans MS]What I’m attempting to do is launch a centred “customizable” .swf[/font]  
[font=Comic Sans MS][/font]  
[font=Comic Sans MS]I have modified the script in the following way:[/font]  
[font=Comic Sans MS][/font]  
on (release) {  
//customize the window that gets opened  
// 0 equals NO.  
// 1 equals YES.  
address = http(“D:\WEB\_Projects\WedPopUpTestFile\CallupURLTest.swf”);  
target\_winName = “”;  
width = 400;  
height = 300;  
toolbar = 0;  
location = 0;  
directories = 0;  
status = 0;  
menubar = 0;  
scrollbars = 1;  
resizable = 0;  
//sends data back to the function  
openWinCentre(address, target\_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);  
}

the Java script remains un-changed at:

\_global.openWinCentre = function(url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) {  
getURL(“javascript:window.open(’”+url+"’,’"+winName+"’,’"+“width=”+w+",height="+h+",toolbar="+toolbar+",location="+location+",directories="+directories+",status="+status+",menubar="+menubar+",scrollbars="+scrollbars+",resizable="+resizable+",top=’+((screen.height/2)-("+h/2+"))+’,left=’+((screen.width/2)-("+w/2+"))+’"+"’);void(0);");  
};

Unfortunately this is not producing the required result. I want to open a seperate .swf file [centred and customized] that will control audion on the site.

If someone could be so kind as to point me in the correct direction, i’d be very appreciative.

Many thanks
