Try this:

getURL("javascript:window.open('moulinx.html','newWin','scrollbars=no,status=no,width=800,height=550');newWin.focus();void(0);");

Also the better way to do that is to place the javascript in the HTML that the movie is embedded in. So in the HTML page add a function:

<script language=javascript>
function newWindow(url){
    window.open(url,'newWin','scrollbars=no,status=no,width=800,height=550');
    newWin.focus();
    void(0);
}
</script>

Then your actionscript would be:

getURL("javascript:newWindow('moulinx.html')");

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!

thanks so much pixl8r but i did this and nothing happened. is there supposed to be a long pause? i have done this before with buttons (which is what i ended up doing to the first page) and it seems to work faster. also, this might be change in the flash mx 2004 (i doubt it), but i used to use the code i put above in the first frame and this would always load the second page. in the code that you say to put in the embedded html, should i be putting the url with http? and with quotes?

thanks so much,

Don't know what your problem was... Your posted link worked fine for me on IE5.5 this morning, before you've obviously tried pixl8r's suggestion...

You should remove the 'newWin' and only leave the 2 single quotes with nothing between them as ''...

<script language=javascript>
function newWindow(url){
    window.open(url,'','scrollbars=no,status=no,width=800,height=550');
    newWin.focus();
    void(0);
}

That said, as I said above, your previous code worked fine for me... What browser were you using when it failed?
</script>

Or set the window's name, this way...

<script language=javascript>
function newWindow(url){
    newWin=window.open(url,'newWin','scrollbars=no,status=no,width=800,height=550');
    newWin.focus();
    void(0);
}
</script>

hi again

i just tried it and did it with netscape 7 and it still doesn't work. what might be the problem?
thanks

The script I posted above:

<script language=javascript>
function newWindow(url){
	window.open(url,'newWin','scrollbars=no,status=no,width=800,height=550');
    newWin.focus();
    void(0);
}
</script>

worked perfectly for me in IE 6 and Firefox. I would check to see if there isn't some security setting in Safari and/or Netscape that is preventing the javascript from executing. Barring that I don't really know what your problem might be.

Hope it helps.

You may have popup blockers install on you machine.

i feel so stupid now. i had them on in safari, though i tested in netscape 7 and there are popups all over that software.. but the script that i initially used works fine.

thanks so much everyone!

peace,
