I would like to end my movie with a "Get URL" that would bring-up a
Full-screen" HTML window.

As a novice, I don't write code and would need the "step-by-step" with any
statements written-out.

Many Thanks

:frown;I appreciate your reply, but if you read my post, I'm a novice and need
step-by-step instructions...

I know the Javascript for opening a full-screen window from another HTML page,
but I have now clue how to do so in Flash..

it is actually pretty simple. You have your main timeline create an instance
of a movie clip. Then put in this line of Action Script:

_parent[strClipName].getURL("http://www.Yahoo.com", "_blank");

where strClipName is a string identifer.

the hard part is figuring out how to create instances of movie clips from the
main timeline. However, if you give it some attention you should be able to do
it.
