From what I see there is no difference to the script in my tutorial except for centering the window. I checked on my site and I can drag the window.

Hi,
I just want to ask another question about popup windows and accessing variables. Basically, I create a window, having a swf file as content, and want to assign variables to that swf file.

Perhaps an example would help more:

function popup(wName:Object,wText:String, wContent:String, xSiz:Number, ySiz:Number)
{
yPos=275;
this[wName]= mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, mx.containers.Window, false, {closeButton:true});
this[wName].title = wText;
this[wName].setSize(xSiz, ySiz);
this[wName].contentPath = wContent;
var xvalue:Number=Math.floor(Number(w)/2)-xSiz/2;
this[wName].move(xvalue, yPos - ySiz / 2);
var handleCloseObject:Object = new Object();
    handleCloseObject.click = function(evt:Object) 
    {
    evt.target.deletePopUp();
    };
this[wName].addEventListener("click", handleCloseObject);
} 

I call this function to create the popup (named 'tw') like e.g.

_root.popup("tw","Title", "movie1.swf",400, 200); 

So far so good.

Now in the movie1.swf, I have an variable named 'myvar'.

How can I assign a value to 'myvar'?
I've tried

_root.tw.myvar="123"; 

but nothing happens.

Also I am confused about the depth/level of these popups. Do I consider them to be like moveclips?

help appreciated
Patrick
