Browser look pop-up

[monkey knuts]

Hi all,
Thanks for a great site - really usefull.
Solutions only lead to further questions though!

Q. Is it possible to open a new window (pop-up) from within a projector?

!!BUT!!

I would like this window to be a true 'new window' i.e. browser window and not just a movie clip window.

I've read most of the tutes on the subject, but is it only possible to do this with HTML/JAVA and from a web site?
The project is intended to be primarily a projector file run from CD.

I suppose I could draw a window to look like a browser window, but this seems a bit of a cacky thing to do.

Many thanks for any help - keep it simple eh; I'm no pro!

Cheers,
mk

If you use GetUrl it will open the browser that's installed on the machine;

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.yourpage.html");
}

Of course you could also link to a local file on the disk, or cd-rom, in this case in same directory as the swf.exe

on (release) {
getURL("yourpage.html");
}

If you look for the eay-popup extension from the flash exchange page on macromedia.com, it will let you control what sort of window it will be (toolbar, scroll etc.)

very handy and 0 java.

good luck
