Hi. I designed my online portfolio ([http://www.rawpixels.com](http://www.rawpixels.com)) in Flash MX, and everything works great on a Mac, but not on Windows machines. The problem is, the pop-up windows for my portfolio pieces. On a Mac, the browser window/s open fine…they are sized correctly, and without borders, etc. On a Windows machine, the pop-up windows automatically maximize, which looks terrible.

If anyone can visit my site who’s using a Windows machine and figure out why these pop-ups are maximizing instead of sizing correctly, I’d appreciate it! I used the Kirupa tutorial for opening new browser windows from Flash, if that helps.

The problem is the borderless window.  
It doesn’t work with many browsers.  
It’s nothing to do with Windows/Mac’s
