Check out this code:

on (release) {  
getURL("javascript:openNewWindow(My.swf’,New window,‘height=600,width=800,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,fullscreen=no’) ");  
}

everything here is fine. It opens finely.

But…

i want to pass parameters where if i click a button in html page My.swf should open a particular scene called ‘Scene 2’ rather than scene 1.

i tried

on (release) {  
getURL("javascript:openNewWindow(My.swf?myparams=Scene 1,‘New window’,‘height=600,width=800,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,fullscreen=no’) ");  
}

but its not working

so any idea for this or if it has to be done by you, how would you do it?

Pls Help

Thanks in advance

say you missed the parenthesis in the first parameter

And also **Scene 1** should be urlencoded to **Scene%2D1**

I think you cannot use AS Before the flash movie loaded. If the default Scene is “Scene 1” I think you cannot directly divert to Scene 2 without loading Scene1. because Instructions are already there. So the best thing is change the Scene order by WIndow\>\> Designer Panels \>\> Scene
