Hi,

I am having problems with launching a pop-up window from Flash in IE (I’m working in MX 2004).

I noticed the following comment in the toturial [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/chromeless.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/chromeless.htm):

[SIZE=2]“The only glaring problem with this cool effect is that you have to use Internet Explorer. Users with Netscape or Mozilla browsers are out of luck”. [/SIZE]

I have the exact opposite problem: In Firefox it works perfectly, in IE nothing shows - I tried everything: Internet settings, pop-up blockers, downloading up dates for IE - nothing helps.

I had a similar problem with lauching a full screen window from a Flash file (in a html file). Worked great in Firefox - a no go in IE.

If anyone have an idea what is happening, please let me know.

Thanks!!! - from Marie  
(new on the forum and quite new to Flash also)
