My problem is that I'm convinced I had pop-ups working from Flash on MSIE

4.5 but I guess it's just wishful thinking cuz I can't make it work now and

besides MM says it doesn't (that either liveconnect or active x is required

for the call from flash, although I don't understand why). I thought it

worked if you used the on remote part, but you *still* hafta have that one

piece from the flash movie so it'll work on button click (or use the frames

workaround you already know about) and that won't.

Naw. CGI scripts are server-side and the popups in javascript are all

client-side. The perl script on the page is for doing something else

altogether.

Yeah, all you really do is put the javascript call in the "get url" of a

button, and then put the function at the top of the html. What I can't do is

what I said I did so nevermind. I'm sorry :(
