</div>

how might I open an html file and stratigically place, size, toolbars(on/off) etc… I know how to open, but it always opens behing my movie and replaces the movie. but that is done with

on (release) {  
getUrl(“someurl.html”, \_blank);  
}

how might i place and size this the way I want? See what I am trying to accomplish here is a full flash site and to be able to open links in the movie w/o replacing the movie.

I thought this could be done?

Thanks again,

Toad:)

I think it is …

```auto
on (release) {
getUrl("someurl.html", "_blank");
}

```

I believe you add quotes around \_blank, that way it will open in a new window.
