Hi there...before i begin, apologies abound to anyone who thinx this should be posted somewhere else, or that this is too basic to answer or did not get this far cause they smashed in their screen when they read the title!!

Anyways, here is my problem and what I know about it....and also I should tell you I know nothing about HTML.

I have my flash movie and an intro movie all done. Now when someone clicks on a button in the intro movie, I want the main flash movie to load in a window without anything in it (no scrollbars, no buttons etc). I kinda have that part figured out. What I cannot get is that you need to have a http:// sort of address in the getURL part of the command...but since i have not uploaded my site, I just have both movies in the same directory. How do I target my intro movie?? Also, how do I position the pop up window at a particular x-y coordinate? I saw the code for the width/height but nothing for x and y!!

I have read a lot of the threads here but in case I missed the one(s) that point these facts out, please guide me there!!

Your help is much appreciated!!!

Thanx G3M3NI,

THATS GREAT!!! But I also wanted to know how to do a http reference to a file that is still on my computer?? Or do I have to upload it, get an address for it and then creat the other part of the site?? Much appreciated!!
