Hi there

The problem is that i can´t find a way to put the size of a new window  
on the synthax.  
This way it always open at full size…

this is the syntax im using:

on(release){  
getURL (“[http://wwww.filete.0catch.com/hitsingle.mp3","\_blank](http://wwww.filete.0catch.com/hitsingle.mp3%22,%22_blank)”);  
}

Can you help me with this?

If I’m correct… You have to ue javascript in the getURL line to do this… I forget the actual schematics off the top of my head…

If anyone sees this and remembers the JavaScript to open a window at a set size… Please mark it down… I’ll look it up in the meantime.

</div>

Place this javascript into the \< head \> section of the HTML page that your swf movie is embeded in:

```php
<script language="JavaScript">
 function openWin(url, w, h)
 {
 var winprop = "width=" + w + ",height=" + h;
 openwin = window.open(url,'',winprop);
 }
 </script> 

```

Then use this getURL actionscript:[AS]on (release) {  
getURL(“JavaScript:openWin(‘abstract1.html’, ‘500’, ‘300’)”);  
}[/AS]  
You can specify the width and height of the popup window as well. =)

I guess I don’t understand your question … you allready have the syntax for calling out the popUp without mod’ing your HTML…

[\>\>\>here is MacroMedias tutorial on the whole deal\<\<\<](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/popup_windows.htm)

You can do it with this tutorial, it will let you specify the size of the popup window as well.
