In this tutorial, the address is going to an url but how would you direct this to a file on your local computer.  
Why can’t i just do address = “samples.html”; It should be soo simple but it doesn’t work.

on (release) {  
//customize the window that gets opened  
// 0 equals NO.  
// 1 equals YES.  
address = “[http://www.kirupa.com/modular/pop-up.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/modular/pop-up.htm)”;  
target\_winName = “kirupa”;  
width = 400;  
height = 300;  
toolbar = 0;  
location = 0;  
directories = 0;  
status = 0;  
menubar = 0;  
scrollbars = 1;  
resizable = 0;  
//sends data back to the function  
openWinCentre(address, target\_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);  
}
