Put this on your button (on the stage)

on (release) {  
getURL("javascript:openNewWindow(‘Demo. html’,‘thewin’,'height=500,width=650,toolbar=no,sc

rollbars=no’) ");  
}

and then put this on the html/asp page that contains the flash movie that links the user to the no resize pop up window

----script language=“JavaScript”—  
function openNewWindow(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures) {  
newWindow=window.open(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures); }  
----/script–

post back if there are problems  
also if you get this

Javascript allows you to name different stuff, pages, forms, inputs, etc.

we just named that new window, ‘theWin’  
You could pass it(name it) whatever you want,

scrollbar, hold on a second

actually u missed something. I noticed in the link that u gave that the page had  
this tag just beneath the body opening tag

```auto
<!--<A HREF="#" TARGET="_self" onClick="window.open('Demo.html','Demo','toolbar=no,width=650,height=500,left=175,top=100, status=no,scrollbars=no,resize=no');return false">
Launch Demo</A>.-->

```

The original question of this thread was how do you do a pop window (no-resize) FROM a flash movie to anothr page
