Hi, i am newb flash programmer with very little flash experience.
I need a flash (.swf) movie which invokes a popup window automaticaly!

I have looked arround on google and i only found movies where you have to click somthing for the window to apear. I know this can be done automatically but dont know how.

I think, it is possible to embedd an html file in the movie, which is loaded externally and then the java script executes.... but i could be wrong... Please Help!

Thanks!

Why do you want anything to pop-up automatically?

hi, i maintain a site with a considerable number of webpages. All of the web pages were coded by me or my friends by hand over a long period of time. Now the only common thing in all of the pages is a flash movie in the header.

Adding an AD code by hand in all of the pages is not possible in a timely manor. Instead i could edit the movie.. It would be quick and easy!

Thanks!

You haven't really explained what it is you want and why do you want a pop-up? Pop-ups are generally bad!

Use the onClipEvent (load) { handler on frame 1 of your movie.. then your normal comand to call the popup..

Put something like this on the first frame of your movie:

getURL("javascript:void(window.open(page,pName,settings));");
'

Substitute your own page parameters.
