Hi Everyone...:)
I'm having a dilemma here with my ActionScripting here in Flash MX... I'm new to ActionScripting here and this is the second time I have ever used this script here... (The First time was in Flash 5) I'll start from the beginning here...
I first used this tutorial from Macromedia Right Here... (http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/popup_windows.htm)
I typed in all the information to cretin green buttons in my movie that is suppose to spawn a new window to an HTML page...
I went to all my HTML pages and placed in all the scripting Right Here Too! (http://www.jimmysworld.net/rant.html) This is one of the windows that is suppose to pop up at the correct size that I placed in my flash doc.
Now for those of you who want to see the place where my site actually is, It's Right Here! (http://www.jimmysworld.net/flashsite-index.html)
For thoes of you who wants to see the source file, Here it Is! (http://www.jimmysworld.net/mega/JimmysWorld.fla)
If you all can please help me in figuring out what it is that I'm doing wrong I would most appreciate it a lot! I need to get this site finished soon and I need your help in doing it.:)
This problem is on all the working Green buttons in the flash file. Please look at it and tell me what it is that I'm doing wrong? I’m just so stumped... If the site works for you, please tell me as well, it just might be my browser, but I did a practice site in school with this same script from Macromedia, and it worked with me using Flash 5.
Thanks in advance everyone!:)

Hi...

I don't know what's and how's defined in your HTML page, but try window.open instead of openNewWindow...
And I think the system message coming after the preloading is too long... Make it a little bit faster if you can... :)
