Hi I followed the popup tut, did everything. When I publish the file and test the buttons, the popup doesn’t appear but the Adress changes to: javascript:var%20myWin;%20if(!myWin%20||%20myWin.closed){myWin%20=%20window.open(‘[http://home2.pi.be/lgeebele/Articles/articlesb2.htm’,‘Porsche%20Racing’,‘width=787,height=1121,toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,top=’+((screen.height/2)-(560.5))+’,left=’+((screen.width/2)-(393.5))+’](http://home2.pi.be/lgeebele/Articles/articlesb2.htm','Porsche%20Racing','width=787,height=1121,toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,top='+((screen.height/2)-(560.5))+',left='+((screen.width/2)-(393.5))+')’)}else{myWin.focus();};void(0); and a Line 39 error. What could be wrong? I’m loading this swf in another, is that a prob? Thnx ---

I don’t think the popup works when you test the movie in flash, you have to actually test it when the swf is embeded in an actual html document. Test it while it is in a html doc on your comp and see if it works. ---

Oh wait, I see the problem. Your window name can only be one word, you have it as two… Porsche Racing Try changing it to porscheRacing instead. ---

Your not stupid. I remember when I first started with window opening in Javascript. I was so frazzled as to why i was getting an error in my script. I just couldn’t figure it out. I changed my window name and voila, it worked. I had to learn the hard way too 🙂
