Author ! HELP : sizing my pop-up window : HELP !

Hey,

I am currently making my fourth website, however this is my first all Flash site. I have created my index page as an entry page and the main page opens in a new pop-up window. I want the pop-up window to be the exact size as the Flash document though.

So i want my main page to be 550 x 400 pixels. How do i go about doing this? I have seen it done before and i have read a similar tutorial but it was poorly written.

If anyone at all can help? Muchly appreciated!
If anyone would also like the actual files involved let me know and i'd be more than glad to let you have a go!

Take a look at the site so far....

try this. i hope it works for you.

Part 1 -- FLASH code

In actions choose the GET URL function and paste in following code:

java script:openNewWindow('somePage.html','thewin','height=100,width=250,tool
bar=no,scrollbars=yes');


Where somePage.html is the filename or URL of the page or site you wish to
pop up.
Note: The above code is spread over two lines for tutorial neatness only.
In Flash it need be on only one line.

Part 2 ---HTML code

Paste this code exactly as it appears below, between the HEAD tags in the
HTML source.

<script language="JavaScript">
function openNewWindow(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures) {
newWindow=window.open(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures);
}
</script>
Add the following parameter inside the <EMBED> tag in your HTML page which
houses the SWF file:

swLiveConnect=true NAME=yourmovie.swf
