Well.. it sounds like what you actually would want to do is use regular javascript to open your pop-up window. That code generator works well if, for example, your sire opens up to a splash page, where the user has to click "enter" to enter the site. The generated code does need a little updating for AS2. Instead of using object code and placing it on your button/mc, you just place the code on the frame where your button/mc appears and you need to make sure you give your button/mc an instance name. With that said, you could use something like

// where "enterBtn" is the instance name of your mc/button 
// and index.html is the html page you want to open in the popup

enterBtn.onRelease = function(){
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('index.html','.: | WELCOME | :.','width=600,height=400,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=Yes,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); screen_height = window.screen.availHeight; screen_width = window.screen.availWidth; left_point = parseInt(screen_width/2)-(600/2); top_point = parseInt(screen_height/2)-(400/2); setTimeout('NewWindow.moveTo(left_point,top_point)',100); void(0);");
};

if you just want your site to automatically sprout a pop-up window on load... do a google search for javascript and you'll find a thousand sites with free scripts. Look around, and you'll find one that works for you, as not all are cross-browser, some won't work in IE, some ONLY work in IE (i fricking hate IE)... I am certainly not the person to consult on javascript (all the scripts i use i get for free online) You could also search the forums here (which you actually should have done before posting) and you'll find a thousand different threads with solutions to the same/similar problems... here are a few: http://www.flashkit.com/board/search...earchid=282000

hope that helps

---- BTW those links you posted as examples, DO NOT launch pop-ups when opened... at least not in Safari for Mac..

well there are tons of resources out there for flash, this one is great but not the only hope. Reading books and the flash help are great tools also.

but pop ups are just so dang annoying - and those little flash things that float in layers over the page are even more so... you can never find the dang close button if theyve got one and your powerless to watch the stupid ad,,, er I mean close the web page and never return
