pop up window when you still dont know the URL ?

[colinseu]

I found some releavant infos on how to make pop up windows with flash, however the GET URL is always like "

http://www.mysite.com"

and now i'm making a project, the address i will write to test my page will not be the same than the one where the site will be hosted... what can i do ? i know that my html page that i wanna open in the pop up will be called "help_d.htm" and that it will be in the root of the directory but i dont know what will be the exact address yet, and if i have to change then all my flash movies with the new address... thanx for helping

I don't think the full address is neccessary when refering to the same directory as the flash document.

hmm it was resulting actually from an error with the extension .htm now with .html it works. i put all my site as .htm and i found a post talking about this problem... it apparently didnt work using the .htm extension...
i'm having another problem anyway... lemme sumup :
i have a flash, 5 links in the flash are opening popup windows, with diff pictures... the script in my html page is made of some variables for the popups (depending on what is specified in the "get url" of the buttons in flash... the problem is actually here : i click on the link 1 a popup come with the good size, but if i dont close the popup and click directly on the link 2, then the picture comes in the same popup already opened and its either bigger or smaller than the window... what can i do to make the window close just before to open the link 2, or at least let the popup 1 with the pic and open another popup with the correct dimensions ??? (wow ! twisted minds aint it ?)

Can you give a link or show your HTML code?

I am trying to do a similar thing. When a button is clicked I want to direct someone to

http://www.opera.com/downloads.html

but the flash movie tries to add this url to the end of the current url so we end up with

http://www.currentpage/www.opera.com/downloads.html

I have tried entering an absoulte getURL like

http://www.opera.com/downloads.html

but it still doesn't work???

Please help! [sig][/sig]
