So tell me, is there any difference with popup window creation in a projector movie as opposed to one published on the web? I just want to open a HTML file with a QT movie embedded and I'm having no luck finding a tutorial that addresses this. Any suggestions?
My head is spinning searching. Help.
You can't use javascript from the projector so you will need a custom app to do this.
The only possible solution and best advice I could give you is to try SWF studio or use a helper page. A helper page is a regular html with nothing but a Onload event that pops the window and the closes itself.

I have recently created a projector movie by Flash for CD presentation, and have the internet browser window popup to open the QT movie by clicking a button. However, you would need to have some supporting tools. I have used Jtools - JWeb.exe to make this happened. First, u need to download the Jtools at http://www.***********.com/software/jtools/index.htm
This program has 3 tools included - JWeb, JEmail and JStart in which JWeb and JEmail are now free for use.
After you have downloaded the program, read the instruction and you'll get what you want. Basically is using the FSCommand to execute the JWeb command in order to open the internet browser window without the necessary of internet connection.
I have put the following actionscript to a button that open the HTML file, the \\Video\\ that indicated in the script is representing the folder that I have placed the HTML file.
on (release) {
fscommand ("exec", "JWEB \\Video\\myMovie.html");
}
Please note that you have to patch the movie which has the button that u want to open the specific HTML file by using the Jtools to make it work.
Then you can embed your QT movie to the specific HTML file.
<embed src="myMovie.mov" width="320" height="260" bgcolor="#000000" name="myMovie" align="center" border="0" pluginspage=""http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download""></embed>
The above is the script that I placed in the HTML file with plug-in detection prior to this script as it would be better to include the plug-in detection script in order to let your viewers knows that the movie will not be playing without QT installed on their machine. Below is the link of plug-in detection script for QuickTime.

Honestly speaking, flash is a very good program, however without the support of others program or tools, it is a bit difficult for us to really get what we want for our presentation.
Hope this will help.
