Hi All,

I am new to Flash. Here is my problem:

I have a **self-running** movie (not in the browser). In this movie, I need to have a button that will open another swf movie in a new window without the Browser toolbars also.

I tried using this JavaScript code:  
[color=red]javascript:window.open(‘quiz.swf’,‘Quiz’,‘width=200,height=200,left=300,top=300,scrollbars=no,resizable’);[/color]

But when I click on the button, I get something that opens than closes again very quickly. I guess this is because I am not using it in a browser.

Is there a solution for this?

Thank you  
Bob
