Alright, my question is this. Is there a way to launch a pop-up window from a transparent Flash file, without it getting blocked by the pop-up blocker? I know it’s a security issue with the different browsers not to let you pop-up a window from a transparent .swf, but is there anyway around it? Like tricking the browser in anyway? I’ve tried everything I can think of, passing stuff to the html page with Javascript and then having the HTML page call the pop-up but that means that the page has to refresh then call the pop-up, which doesn’t do me any good.

Any suggestions are welcome! :red: :red: :red:
