there is one on Kirupa’s main page, but that method doesn’t work in the new IE SP 6.1 or Netscape or Mozilla. As far as a working tutorial for the new methods I don’t know. Check google.

They are nothing but buggy pieces of s\*\*t in my opinion, but that’s just me… My P1 - 233ghz (hehe) at work crashes every time one is used… \*\*\*\* them…

[\>\>\>HERE is Macromedia’s Tutorial on the subject\<\<\<](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/popup_windows.htm)
…I have a _widget_ (of sorts) on another machine that builds them to spec. for you … but I don’t even remember the name of it…
I got it off the _old_ site of theirs and can’t find it now…

Also the files you download from [chromeless.org](http://chromeless.org) include tutorials on how to use the script both in Flash and Javascript.
Or at least thats how the original chromeless windows files were.
And also to go with other people here…
With all the pop-up killers, are you sure you want a pop up?
And depending on the chromeless windows script you get it will not work on Macs, Mozilla, or Netscape. Just IE on windows. the other browsers will just display standard pop-ups (I think, not sure with the newest version).

Additionally to what lostinbeta said, only pre-SP1 IE6 will work.
So, figure on most new pc’s to not work either.
I think you’re better off choosing just a regular window or pop.
JMO.

Unflux… unfortunately, there is a new chromeless window version at [chromeless.org](http://chromeless.org) that works in the new IE. I don’t know how it functions in other browsers though, never tried it.

hehe, I was hoping you would notice that. Not really a subtle way to voice my opinion on it I guess 😛
