Stupid newbie question about loading swf...

[gkbdave]

Is it possible to just load a .swf in a seperate window? If a user clicks a button and opens that .swf in a seperate smaller window is this possible? And how can I make the size of that window?
Thanks for the help..

Do you mean a separate browser window?

If so, they are called pop-up windows and yes, you can size them to whatever you want.

Take a look at:

Thanks for the quick reply,
another question is do I resize it in the movie itself or when I publish the movie?

THe best way (in my opinion) is to design the movie for a specific dimension and then create the window at that size.

You do that in Publish Settings >> HTML and choose match movie in the dimensions drop down. This will export at the size you set when you modified the movie at the start of the design.

Flash produces all the HTML - don't get bogged down writing it from scratch unless you need to.

You will find that you'll need to tweak the HTML a bit to get rid of borders, but that's all.
