How do I make Button Open new window in flash?

[bunnyface]

Hi every one,

i have this modelling site im working on, and when you click on photo i want to open a new window with the girls profile in it. but i dont want a new IE window, just a little flash movie, i tried ..

"on (release) {

//load Movie Behavior
if(this == Number(this)){
loadMovieNum("TWtester.swf",this);
} else {
this.loadMovie("TWtester.swf");
}
//End Behavior"

and it goes to that swf file, but its not in NEW window? does this make sense to any one?

Based on your script, I would assume you just want to load a movie so that it overlaps the current playing movie rather than opening a new window.

Here's how you can do that using levels ( or layers ):

on ( release ) {

loadMovieNum ( "TWtester.swf", 1 );

}

The number 1 in the above script is the "layer" or the level that you load the .swf file into. The higher the number the nearer to the front of your screen it will be. For example, level 10 will be on top of level 1. If you need to use that level, for example telling TWtester.swf to gotoAndPlay at frame 10, you would use this script:

_level1.gotoAndPlay ( 10 ); // for level 1
_level5.gotoAndPlay ( 10 ); // for level 5

Here is another method that uses a movieclip:
1) Create an empty movieclip and drag it onto the stage.
2) Select the movieclip and give it an instance name in the properties panel. Example: myMovieClip
3) Now add the following script on your button:

on ( release ) {

myMovieClip.loadMovie ( "TWtester.swf" );

}

Personally I prefer to use the movieclip method as it is easier to move the movieclip around manually to adjust the position of the loaded .swf file.

hey that worked!
ok so what im trying to achieve .. is this paricular effect i have seen ( but now fail to find a site to use as an example) so its usually used in gallery's, so you have your pictures, and each one you click on, it will appear in the same way the code above has done, however ive seen it where it comes up with a flash load screen behind it? and the background ( site) fades out.

any ideas?

oh and im also trying to put a small button to close this new layerd window too.?

*trying to find an example..

I'm guessing what you are looking for is something like this site that I did sometime last year

http://www.i-talk.com.my/

Click on the celebrate & win winners experience logo on the top. Once the page loads, click on the photos tab. You will see a popup window appear with an image that loads dynamically.

Is this what you are trying to achieve?

thats exactly it , the one i had seen , the new window or layer seemed to grow, so as it appeared it grew to its display size. but thats pretty much it- thats what im trying to achieve.. also great site btw- and i love that little character. soo cute.
