Don't call the 'window.open' method from Flash, write a function in the HTML page and call that function from Flash.
Here's an example of the function on the HTML page: loadPopup = function(pageName, width, height) { var newPopupWindow; var left = screen.width/4; var top = screen.height/4; var props = "width="+width+",height="+height+",top="+top+",left="+left+",resizable=n o,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no"; newPopupWindow = window.open(pageName, "content1", props); } ...and from AS3 you would call: ExternalInterface.call("loadPopup('" + myURLStringHere + "', 740, 560)"); -----Original Message----- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Fahim Akhter Sent: Thursday, 4 March 2010 5:58 AM To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Pop up window locally Test on different version of IE too, sometimes older version of IE prove to be a bitch. regards, Fahim Akhter http://www.behance.net/fahimakhter http://twitter.com/fahimakhter On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 11:40 PM, natalia Vikhtinskaya <natavi.m...@gmail.com > wrote: > Mozilla opens pop up correctly.
