I answerd this before but don't know if it's you...:rolleyes:

Put this code on the frame of where the button is
wdth = "700"; // Width
hdth = "450";// Height

Put this code on the button

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:window.open('index-1.html','nName','width=" add wdth add ",height=" add hdth add ",top='+((screen.availHeight/2)-(" add hdth/2 add "))+',left='+((screen.availWidth/2)-(" add wdth/2 add "))); void(0);");
}

You're welcome :D

One problem is I don't know how to add the scrollbar or allow the toolbar. Do you know JGizmo?

window.open(site,"newwindow","toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menuba r=1,scrollbars=1,resizeable=1,width=600,height=450")

using your method, it would be like this :

wdth = "700";
hdth = "450";

on (release) {
getURL ("java script:window.open('index-1.html','nName',toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0 ,status=0,menubar=1,scrollbars=1,resizeable=1,'wid th=" add wdth add ",height=" add hdth add ",top='+((screen.availHeight/2)-(" add hdth/2 add "))+',left='+((screen.availWidth/2)-(" add wdth/2 add "))); void(0);");
}

Well, when I tried it your way, I got a syntax error.
When I tired it his way, it screwed up.

Then, I tried it this way :

on (release) {
wdth = "700";
hdth = "450";
getURL("java script:window.open('index-1.html','newwindow',toolbar=0,location=0,directori es=0,status=0,menubar=1,scrollbars=1,resizeable=1, 'width=" add wdth add ",height=" add hdth add ")");
}

Didn't get a syntax error with that (in flash, or in IE), but I get a 404 page not found.
Too lazy and tired right now to figure out why it's not found. -.-

It's because yo have to change this part in the code to your own HTML file

getURL("javascript:window.open('index-1. html')
