bring window to front 1

[greengrassbrian]

is there a flash script or html code that will bring up a popup window to the front?

example:
a user has a web browser full screen and clicks a link to a video that pops up in its own window. after seeing the video the user continues to browse the original site which places popup in the background.

problem: currently the user sees a second video, clicks on it and it plays in the popup window in the background, so he hears it, but doesn't see it, even though it is playing.

-i do not want multiple popup windows as a solution, so if there is code or script please let me know....

many thanks!!

Each time you load a new file in the popup, give focus to the popup.

how exactly do i do that?

Javascript!

How are you opening (what's your code) the first video?

i'm using the popup windows extension in flash which uses javascript, but there's nothing about giving focus to the window....is it an easy line of script?

I asked for your exact line of code... And yes you can set focus to the popup on the same script...

Visit

, and you'll see it in the generated code of the popup you create!

ahh, that's perfect....sorry 'bout not supplying the code--it was similar to what this site gives, minus the 'focus' property, many thanks
