hi there,

I followed the kirupa instructions for opening a centered pop up window. It works fine when I preview it with html on its own. Nothing happens however when I run the full flash site.

The only difference I can think of is that the button I have assigned the pop up to is on a movie which sits inside another movie. Is this why I cant get it to work?

Any advice on this would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Cal
