im a beginner and im making a site that includes movies and pictures.

the movies are one size and the pictures are another (dimensions not file size).

i know how to link to new screens (_blank in the getURL action). However i need to have a specific size for the window.

i need two window sizes. one for the movies and the other for the pictures. i also need the toolbars taken off of the the top of the page.

I understand that some Java will be involves which is fine. But how do i write this into flash?. Or do i need to do something with the script of the page the flash is embedded onto?

One site that does what i want is www.bumfights.com (yeah i know its tastless but click on a picture and the pop up window will be one size for every picture and click on a movie and its another size for the lot.)

if you cant understand what im on about just check out that site.

thanks for your help.

Tom

I've been struggling with the same problem. Finally I came up with some sort of a half way solution. I've linked my flash-site to some regular html-pages (made in dreamweaver or frontpage....).

In these its easy to ad a script to your link that'll define your pop-up window. If you can't write the script yourself go to this site:
http://www.echoecho.com/toolpopupgenerator.htm
fill in the needed parameters and you've got your script.

I know its not really THE solution but it was the best I could come up with. I'm a newbie myself you know.
