I am using a flash movie as a popup for my site. To get the movie to work I have to combine two commands which would be started by one button. One would be to hide/show the movie : <A onclick="showHide('id2');" href="javascript:"><B>Open Jack's Bio</B></A></FONT> and the other to start it from the first frame: john.TGotoFrame("_level0", "0").

Could someone push me in the right direction? I may be doing things all wrong so I attached the page script.

Thankyou,

So, i understand you want to start a popup window containing a flash movie.

This can be done like this:

1. insert this script:

function popUpWindow(location,left,top,width,height)
{
window.open(location, "popUpWin", "toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbar=no, resizable=no, copyhistory=yes, width="+ width + ", height=" + height + ", left=" + left + ", top=" + top);
}

2. the link should look like this:

<a href="javascript:popUpWindow('mypage.htm','10','10','200','300')">My bio</a>

the first two numerical values determine the padding of the popup window, and the next to are the width and the height respectively, of the popup window.

3. In "mypage.htm" or whatever, insert your flash movie.

What you're trying to do in your script is to show/hide the flash movies in the page. That is not a popup.

So, what are you trying to do? Can you be more specific?
