Why not just use load movie to create a little flash popup? I think of alert

boxes as little, so those would be perfect and it works on all browsers that

can see flash 4 (so far at least - I haven't seen any that don't). You could

always put in an invisible button and map some other key or whatever you

wanted to cause the popup (button press on return key or something) as well.


We've got a plug 'n play for flash popups at:

Still hoping for more critique/constructive criticism/comments/bug reports

or whatever else. There's no alert box yet, but I'll hafta put that in when

I do the print button already suggested.
