IE blocking popups - restarting flash movie

[whoknows361]

so i have popups for customers to view add'l html files via

 getURL("xxxx.html" _blank);

but when users approve IE to accept popups from my site - it starts the entire flash movie over (a pain).

is there any way around this?
what options do I have

thanks in advance.

Have you tried calling a JavaScript function instead?

This could be as simple as the following:

JavaScript:

function openURL(url){
   window.open(url);
}

AS1:

getURL("javascript:openURL('xxxx.html')");

I have no idea if this will solve your issue with IE though

or if the worse comes to worse, you could always remember what frame you are at on the flash movie then when it reloads, make it navigate straight back to that frame
