Ok.

So I followed everything in this article.  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/newwindow.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/newwindow.htm)

I even downloaded the sample files and loaded the .fla file, published it.  
In my directory I have newwindow.html, newwindow.swf files.  
I click on newwindow.swf to test this out.  
When I click on Kirupa’s name, it opens a new browser with “No Page to Display” at title of the window.

Also, in the address bar, it says …

javascript:Launch(‘[http://www.kirupa.com/kirupa.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/kirupa.htm)’)

What am I doing wrong? If someone can explain what files need to be in what directory, I’d appreciate it. Does this not work in CS3???

I thought this would be an IE security setting so I set everything to low and it still fails.  
I’d appreciate some help with this mundane issue. I’ve spent 8 hours on this issue and it’s very frustrating because it looks like a very common issue and everyone seems to eventually find a solution to this function in all the other forums.

Dumbfounded and Frustrated,
