I link my flash site from an html homepage, when I go to my flash site the name of the window is not what I want it to be (it says the directory the file is in). How do I change this to say what I want, for example this site says [kirupaforum.com](http://kirupaforum.com) on top?

Thanks

Howdy…

Open up your HTML file into the text editor…  
Look for the one that says

```php
<title>kirupaforum.com</title>

```

change it to be

```php
<title>You_just_changed_it...</title>

```

Note that I have used ‘\_’(underscore) instead of ’ '(blank space)… You are not supposed to use space there… Try it… 😉

Cyan: HTML title tags are allowed to have spaces in them. It is with Javascript pop up windows that you cannot contain spaces for the window name, because its the window name, not the title.

And just in case… do no load the .swf into the window, you must load an HTML file with the .swf embedded into it (File/Publish)
