Re: FLASH: Trouble opening new window.

[John Dowdell]

This sounds like the FAQ:


"What can prevent externalEvent or FSCommand from affecting another window?"

http://www.macromedia.com/go/14074


Background: Not all browsers let objects in one page control other windows

or frames. It's easy to open a window from Flash. If you want to open a new

window of particular size or appearance, though, then more browsers support

this through HTML than through LiveConnect or ActiveX Scripting.


(Sidenote: While not all browsers support FSCommand, not all support

"javascript:" URLs from objects either.)
