Hi I’m trying to build a links page on my flash site to my friend’s sites. This seems like it would be easy, but I can’t seem to figure it out…

Basically the problem is with the popup window size. I don’t want their website browser window to cover my site, so I need some sort of script within my flash site to control how big the window size of their site pops up.

I found this line of code in my searches, but it doesn’t do anything when the button is clicked:

on (release) {  
getURL(“javascript:openwin(‘[http://www.technofisch.com](http://www.technofisch.com)’, 600, 400)”);  
}

So I’m stuck. I’m also having the same problem with a PDF file. I have my resume as a PDF the pops up when the link is clicked, but I don’t know how to control how big this window is, as it is a direct link to the file and no html.

Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Thanks!
