Flash popup

[theredqueen]

Someone's asked me this, and i cant find an answer.
They want to open a popup from flash.
You can open a window using getURL, but it is just a normal browser window.
If you use a javascript: open() you just get javascript: open() in the location of the new window.
So how can you open a popup?
thanks,

I wrote a FAQ on this a while back...you will be amazed at how simple it really is. You do use the javascript:yourpopupname() as you mentioned but then all that does is call a function... that function actually has to be defined within the HTML source code.

Tulsa... Your FAQ, or at least the files have been down since the end of February. Didn't you get a message from f2s, they were closing down their free host service?
