click: new (controllable) window

[hmmaah]

hey girls and boys - i have a quick question for you. ACTUALLY i just thought of another one so now i have two. sorry. hope you don't mind. i get sidetracked rather easily.

before i start, a quick nota bene. i'm a complete newcomer to flash so my questions are very simpleminded. not much of a challenge i'm afraid.

1. can i put a link in my movie that will close the window?

2. can i put a link in my movie that will open a new window of a specific size, and without the menu-buttons of explorer?

any help: much appreciated.
cheers, anrick...

[kode]

to close the window use this script

instanceName.onRelease = function () {
getURL ("javascript:close()")
}
replace instanceName with the actual name of your movie clip or button


and there's a tutorial about popup windows here

[ EDIT ]
hmmm .. and remove the space between java and script

[senocular]

note the space in javascript is added by the forum to prevent malicious code, its not included in the actual script.

You may also see the close() written as self.close(); or window.close(); - its all the same thing. Be aware that a window not specifically opened by the browser itself will get a warning message on an attempt to close the window on windows machines.

[edit] just saw your edit ;)


instanceName.onRelease = function () {
getURL ("javascript:close()")
}

quote this and see how its written :)
