Try making it:
spawnWindow('http://24.20.65.99/snake/flash-hagen.swf','Flash_hagen','toolbar=no,l... )

ie. Remove the ".swf" from the Flash_hagen window name. Window names can't include periods I think you'll find. (At a glance this appears to be the cause. If it doesn't fix it, reply...)

Cheers

I believe this is one of the easiest way to do this because you can use it over and over again....

<script lanugage="JavaScript>
<!--Begin

function theWindow(strURL) {
var windowObject;
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1) {
windowObject = window.open(strURL, "WindowName" , "outerwid
} else {
windowObject = window.open (strURL "WindowName= , "width

}

return;

}
thescript is not fully finished because I assum you know the width and height specifications....

then in flash its simple :)
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:theWindow('yoursite.htm')");
}

have fun...
