1) Yeah, I know how it is now.. chromeless windows work on NO browsers anymore.

2) Full Screen Windows...

3) Centered Content...

NOTE: I only posted the fullscreen window because you said it was for a presentation. I think everyone by now knows where I stand on fullscreen windows for sites (If you don't know... then in as few words as possible.... they should all die).

Thanks for the page center link =) , but on the full screen, i did not mean fill up the screen, i worded it badly, i meant for it to keep the tab, but have no options in the window, would you call it a pop up window? Thanks for the help...

BUT THEY ARE EVIL!!!!!!!

Pop ups in general are evil, but chromeless windows are the most evil of evil. Trendy, overused, annoying.... total package.

Anywho... for regular pop ups...

They are evil, but in the most extraodinary cases they can actually make the site look good.

Extremely rare there. Microbians make it look great, but thats about it.

Just make a new layer in dreamweaver, and click on the F that represents flash on the toolbar (that's how you import flash documents). Put your layer wherever you like :).

As a note for the future...

If the link refers to the page before the server move it will come up as page not found, but its an easy way to fix that...

Right after...

simply put "forums" so now you will have

Making the entire link something like...
