pop up windows from within loaded movies????

[bdot]

This is probably going to make me look really dumb.
I've been trying to open a pop up window from within movie loaded into level 2 of the main timeline. I used the script below which works fine from the main movie but not from within loaded ones.

Does anybody know if it's possible? or how todo it?
Any comment would be really helpful.

Flash action:

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:launchwin('map/map.html','pop','toolbar=no,location=no,status=no, menubar=no,scrollbars=javascript:launchwin('map/map.html' , 'newwindow' , 'height=150,width=300");
}


And this in the HTML:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_checkPlugin(plgIn, theURL, altURL, autoGo) { //v4.0
var ok=false; document.MM_returnValue = false;
with (navigator) if (appName.indexOf('Microsoft')==-1 || (plugins && plugins.length)) {
ok=(plugins && plugins[plgIn]);
} else if (appVersion.indexOf('3.1')==-1) { //not Netscape or Win3.1
if (plgIn.indexOf("Flash")!=-1 && window.MM_flash!=null) ok=window.MM_flash;
else if (plgIn.indexOf("Director")!=-1 && window.MM_dir!=null) ok=window.MM_dir;
else ok=autoGo; }
if (!ok) theURL=altURL; if (theURL) window.location=theURL;
}
//-->
</script>

I can't think of why.
I think you're code (posted here at least) isn't right for the javascript window:

scrollbars=javascript:launchwin('map/map.html' , 'newwindow' , 'height=150,width=300");

shouldn't scrollbars = "yes" or "no"?

Could you (as a quick fix!) call the javascript window from the root somehow rather than in the MC?

"javascript:launchwin('map/map.html' , 'newwindow' , 'height=150,width=300");

The opening single quote b4 the h in height is not closed.

Thank you, all seems to be working now.

Found a good site with code a generator.
All of the code works from within flash, no need to add anything to the html.

new code:

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('map/map.html','pop','width=520,height=540,left=0,top=0 ,\rtoolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No, resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus();\rvoid(0);");
}
