Does anyone have an answer on how to dictate the size of the new window that Flash 5 will understand?

I have this in the Object Actions window
**********************************
on (press) {
getURL ("javascript:MM_openBrWindow ('archMenu.htm', 'width=310, height=170, top=165, left=575');");
}
**********************************

The button calls a new window just fine, but the size of the window is not referencing the parameters indicated within the parentheses.

The debugger claims it a JS error in that it expects a ')' after the calling of the .htm

Thanks a million!

Your quotes are a bit messed up. Try:

Code: 
on (press) {
    getURL ("javascript:MM_openBrWindow ('archMenu.htm', width='310', height='170', top='165', left='575');");
}

frozenpeas,

good call, but your method produced the same results.

I saw in faq250-697 that the HTML file that contains the Flash File must have the following code:
**************************
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Your Title Goes Here</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
function yourpopupname()
{
window.open(&quot;URL address of window to be opened as a popup&quot;,&quot;_blank&quot;,&quot;directories=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,toolbars=0,location=0,width=#of pixels,height=#of pixels,left=#of pixels from left edge,top=#of pixels from top edge&quot;);
}
//--></SCRIPT></HEAD>
***************************

Is that my problem? Let me try it.

Yes, you must have the MM_openBrWindow function defined in the HTML code in order for Flash to do anything with it. frozenpeas

Or the whole function can be in the getURL...

Code: 
on (press) {
    getURL(&quot;javascript:NewWindow=window.open('your.html','newWin','width=400,height=400,
left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');NewWindow.focus();void(0);&quot;);
}
[code]

No linebreaks, no spaces! Regards,
