I am having a problem with tutorial 6 (yes I know it's about the easiest!) I just can't get it to work!! I put in the url eg. "page.htm" and I give it a name right? eg. "page" I put the code in getURL and the other code in the head of the html doc that contains my .swf and nothing?!!?

I am putting two in the same page but this shouldn't be a problem so long as they have different names. What am I missing?

Thanks

Here is my code - It is on the html page that contains the my swf file. To see the site please go to www.fabiocalvari.it (the site is in Italian). I got one pop up window to work using tutorial 08 (go to the page Radio) but I can't get the page "television" to work using tutorial 06

Here's the flash code:

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:spawnWindow('tva.htm','tva.htm','toolba r=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=n o,resizable=no,width=190,height=140'");
}

and

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:spawnWindow('tvb.htm','tvb.htm','toolba r=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=n o,resizable=no,width=190,height=140'");
}

Thanks

change your name arguments.

spawnWindow(url,name,options)
like this:
spawnWindow('tva.htm','tva',...);
notice i dropped the .htm from the name argument. don't know for sure, but that might help.

also, just noticed one more thing.
your dont have parans ('()') around your arguments. look at my code above, i am using parenthasis around my arguments. you'll need these i believe.
