I am having a similar problem as david68 [http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94818&highlight=popup+swf](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94818&highlight=popup+swf)
I have created a standalone swf (my swf files are NOT contained within html). When a button is clicked I would like to open a popup html page with specific dimensions. There is surely a way to do this, right? By specifying the size in the HTML document using JavaScript or CSS…or possibly using some sort of script in getURL?
I tried using JavaScript in getURL in Flash…like this somewhat…
getURL(“javascript:window.open(‘URL’, ‘win\_name’, ‘width=580,height=400,left=100,top=100’);”);
But like david68, a blank white page opens and closes itself in the speed of a blinking eye.
Any ideas? Please help! Thanks.
