OK, i am very confused. If someone could explain a little better, cause i am
new to javascript etc...
I want to have my Flash index page open my site in a new window like this
www.skillet.org.
I downloaded some directions:
They go as follows:
Place this javascript in between your <head></head> tages.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function popup(width, height, filename)
{
var left = (screen.width - width) / 2;
var top = (screen.height - height) / 2;
var attributes = "left=" + left +
", top=" + top +
", width=" + width +
", height=" + height + ", ";
attributes += "toolbar=0, location=0, directories=0, ";
attributes += "status=0, menubar=0, scrollbars=0, ";
attributes += "resizable=0";
window.open(filename, "appwindow", attributes);
}
</script>

The use this actionscript function on your button to launch the noew window.

getURL("java script:popup('700' , '400' , 'newWindow.html')");

BUT!!!
where do i put the javascript?
In the html page of my Index page or the html page of the movie i want to
open..

Do i have to change some of the text in the description above to fit my movie.
If so which parts.

Lastly

Where do i put the getUrl command, and do i have to edit that also to fit my
movie

Thanks sorry if this is elementary.

I think the javascript goes in the html page of your Index page.

Paste:

on (release) {
getURL("javascript:popup('700' , '400' , 'newWindow.html')");
}
into your buttons actions. Your button's actions can be edited by first
selecting your button, then pressing F9 on your keyboard.
Just paste my actionscript above into the button's actions.

i got the popup window to open, but there is nothing in it.

I pasted the java script in the html of my index.html

i set the action script in my button actions of the index.swf

Where do i set the action to open my MainMenu.swf which is what i want to
open in the new window.

It doesn't look like i've done that.

Also
take a look at the java script above and tell me if it's ok
or if i have to modify it to fit my needs

thanx
