[SIZE=2]hi everyone.  
i`m trying to send variables from this .swf on level2 of the main movie to another swf that loads onto a javascript popup. i`ve tried using the GET and POST methods with no success.

the popup script, first layer:

\_root.btn.onRelease = function() {  
address = “E01\_p.swf”;  
target\_winName = “test\_pop”;  
width = 600;  
height = 518;  
toolbar = 0;  
location = 0;  
directories = 0;  
status = 0;  
menubar = 0;  
scrollbars = 0;  
resizable = 0;  
//sends data back to the function  
openWinCentre(address,target\_winName,width,height,toolbar,location,directories,status,menubar,scrollbars,resizable);  
};

second layer:

\_root.openWinCentre = function(url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) {  
getURL(“javascript:var myWin; if(!myWin || myWin.closed){myWin = window.open(’”+url+"’,’"+winName+"’,’"+“width=”+w+",height="+h+",toolbar="+toolbar+",location="+location+",directories="+directories+",status="+status+",menubar="+menubar+",scrollbars="+scrollbars+",resizable="+resizable+",top=’+((screen.height/2)-("+h/2+"))+’,left=’+((screen.width/2)-("+w/2+"))+’"+"’)}else{myWin.focus();};void(0);");  
};

thank you.
