I’m using the centered pop-up tutorial on this site, it works just fine. The problem is that if that pop-up is already open and I try to open another pop-up with the same script, but a different address, nothing happens. You have to close the first pop-up to get another one to launch.

FYI: I have a static layer with all of my menu buttons, this layer covers the entire movie. Some of the buttons change the frames in the movie and some open pop-ups.

I have the prototype script loaded into a blank frame on another layer that also covers the entire movie.

Does this make sense?

How do I open two pop-ups with this script, without the user having to close the first?

Thanks,

I can’t explain it too well because I don’t know too much about javascripting, but I do know that you can’t open multiple windows with that popup tut because everything will point to that window (I think it’s called ‘myWin’). In the beginning of the javascript it asks if ‘myWin’ is closed.

Thank you. Seems to make sense. Hopefully some wise soul will pop in with a solution.

yeah… you can modify the script a bit and it should open any number of popups.

```auto
MovieClip.prototype.openWinCentre = function(url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) {
	getURL("java **** script: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+"))+'"+"'); void(0);");
};

```

yeah… i’m still waiting for your FLA. 😛

you’re supposed to replace the code in the frame actions, not the code in the Button.

that is, instead of this code:

```auto
Movieclip.prototype.openWinCentre = function (url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) { 
	getURL ("java **** script: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);");
}

```

you use this one:

```auto
MovieClip.prototype.openWinCentre = function(url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) {
        getURL("java **** script: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+"))+'"+"'); void(0);");
};

```

are you using the same name for all the popup windows (the winName parameter)??

that’s the only reason i can think of.
