Hi I have an index html page with language choice, logo and usual get flash and copyright stuff. On Enter I want to open a pop up with the Flash content. I can actually do most of it but on various browsers I get different results so I guess the java script recicled from old works is not up to scratch. For example on IE on Mac =SX the width is ok but the lenght goes all the way down. Help!!! The swf is 1024x768. Ideally I would love it to be scalable (but without the browser handlers) I have read somewhere that people use a small string in the first frame of flash, something like Stage Mode? But i didnt get it. I really apreciate some help. This is my first job ever in flash and I have learnt heaps also thanks to your tutorials and posts. Thanx ---

Sorry I cannot use that for 2 reasons 1. The botton enter is not in flash, just in html document 2. that script only centers the page if no any other window was opened before hand Any other suggestions??? ---

> [@feeverte](#): > > I just discovered you are a l…a…d…y sssshsttttt :lol: 😉 That script does open html. 🙂 Actually I think it will open up whatever you specify in the address part. As for the detection script there are tons of examples / tutorials out there. Have you searched [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) to start?

Not to worry Yes I have searched for hours and made tons of test, but nothing quite right yet. I start feeling a bit stupid today For the detection I am about to go and check the tutorial. Latest Great, as always kirupa helped. Got the detection in place. Still…is it really so difficult to centre a pop up nowdays? ☹ ---

Seems to me you’ll need javascript to do it straight from html. I’m sure you can google it? [http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/centered-popup.html](http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/centered-popup.html) [http://javascript.internet.com/generators/popup-window.html](http://javascript.internet.com/generators/popup-window.html) [http://www.smileycat.com/miaow/archives/000122.html](http://www.smileycat.com/miaow/archives/000122.html) etc . . . That middle one looks pretty cool actually. 🙂 ---
