Re: [flexcoders] Re: how to give focus to a new browser window

Maybe minimize the application if it's still the front most  
application, possibly after showing an alert to say what you're up to?


Or maybe just throw up a dialog to say you've opened up a browser  
window, again maybe only if you're still front most?


Just some ideas.

Seems to be okay if you don't already have a browser window open, or
if you do not use tabbed browser windows.

Any other thoughts?

As it turns out, I already have that in use in a couple of places, and
it does not give focus to the new window in tabbed browser systems.

I will try that right now. Will be back weeping in a few minutes if it
doesn't work, of course.

Thanks!
