Re: FLASH: Poup-up window Plug and Play: portals.home.mindspring.com/popup/popup.html

[Phil Ward]

Great start Laura...2 additions which would be useful:


1. Be able to pop up a window from a swf which could host HTM page...I guess

this may be a tough one to crack.

2. As you have already mentioned...have a menubar option so that users can

have print functionality built into the swf frame.
