Two people were asking the same question, but I do not understand the question at all...

How do you open a popup window from the external text file??? What do you mean by that??? :confused:

this i probably wrong, but do you mean without using JS but using HTML on its own to open a link in a new window?
then you just have
"<A href="theweburl" target=_blank>blahblah</a>"

actually i do understand the problem~ cos i also facing the sam eproblem too~

flash can read txt file and render as HTML on the text box. It can also read html tags like <B> and <A>.

But I wan more than just link. I wanted to open the <A HREF> link, but not onto a normal IE browser but open as a pop up window.

Anyone has any idea of how to execute such logic???

You can use an "a href" tag, itself calling an asfunction within the Flash movie, which would in turn then open a popup, based on this popup code generator...

hi, i am back~

I managed to figure out how the flash read txt popup works.
But what i used was flash with php.

1) Insert the javascript onto the html <head> where the flash will be loaded

<script>
//Modeless window script- By DynamicDrive.com
//for full source code and terms of use
//visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com

function modelesswin(url,mwidth,mheight){
if (document.all&&window.print) //if ie5
eval('window.showModelessDialog(url,"","help:0;resizable:1;dialogWidth:'+mwidth+'px;dialog Height:'+mheight+'px")')
else
eval('window.open(url,"","width='+mwidth+'px,height='+mheight+'px,resizable= 1,scrollbars=1")')
}

//configure URL and window dimensions (width/height)
//modelesswin("http://yahoo.com",600,600)

//To load via link, use something like below:
//<a href="javascript:modelesswin('http://yahoo.com',600,400)">Click here</a>
</script>

2) Then at the link part, type :

<a href ="javascript:modelesswin('http://yahoo.com',600,400)">Yahoo</a>

I used Flash with PHP interact with MySQL Databse to do it~
I am not sure whether it works for txt file, but the logic is almost the same~
