Hi,

i want a link in flash to open a new browser window but i want to be able to turn all the internet explorer toolbars off as well as set the size of the new window.

I know how to do this in dreamweaver but i dont know how to get it to work in flash. (i am using flash mx).

Thanks in advance chris.

It is called a pop up window.

There are 2 tutorials on this site on how to do it.

yeh but i want the action to apply not to a button but just as it gets to a certain frame it to open up a popup window automatically.

Thanks, Chris

You can do that too, just don’t put it in an on(release) handerl.

Just add the getURL code onto a frame instead of a button.

Oh yeah, but please note that launching a pop up automatically does cause some problems…

  1. Many people think these are pop up ads and close them before they see the content.

  2. People who have pop up window closers installed won’t even see anything because the window will close before it is seen by the program.
