sup sup ppl

my ? is, i want it that when the page loads, the window is open to a specific size, not the normal window size. now i know how to to do it when applying the action to a buttun but. when i try to just apply it to the page, multiple windows keep showing up.

for you to get a better undestanding of what im trying to accomplish. im adding video for a site and since the video is small as far as size goes, i dont want the whole page to come up. i want it to load more or less the same size as the movies width.

any help is apreciated

well you can use and onload() function to open a new window when parent page opens, is that what you mean?

more or less yes but, what i want is that when i click on a button in flash, a window opens at a certain size. now i can do it with an onclick action on dw off of a button but everytime i try what you just said, 2 windows open up, the default one and then the one with the specified size.

and all i need is one
