macromedia flash sitedesign: Hi,

Ive tried opening a custom browser window (specified size, no tool bars etc)
using several different codeing approaches as suggested in various sources but
each time it exicutes its as if the windo is trying to open but imidiately
closes down again. Is there anyone with a good way of doing this or who has a
idea of what I might be doing wrong?

Regards,
Stephan

Flash player 8 security.
If you want to do this using javascript, you have to publish your file to a
server. You can't test it on your local machine. Actually you could, but you'd
have to set a trust and it's not an easy thing to do.
If you don't have Flash player 8 installed (the player, not the IDE!) or are
testing from a server, than the problem is somewhere else and I apologize.
