Flash help needed

[Hamlet]

I am trying to have an intro flash piece set so that once it finishes, it will load a link that is embedded in the html (needs to be embedded in the html so it can be changed quickly and easily). Does any one know the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

You can do it by pulling a link out of a simple one line text file. Would that work okay for ya?

use a javascript function that the flash triggers, same way you'd launch a sized pop-up etc.

like this (did a quick search cut and paste - needs modifying - but you get the idea) :

in the html

<script language="JavaScript"> 
function openNewWindow(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures) { 
newWindow=window.open(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures); } 
</script> 

in the last frame:

getURL ("javascript:openNewWindow
('yourpage.html','thewin','height=300,width=400,to olbar=no,scrollbars=yes')");

this one works, I had something like that in my portfolio presentation.

however there's one inconvenience: there are people that use popup blockers, in this case it won't work.
I had 2 clients which had popup blockers, so I'm using now the standard geturl, without jcalling a avascript.

Yes Mark this is exactly what i am trying to do - can you tell me how it is done? (i tried contacting you via icq but it did not go thru for some reason - my icq is 96653071)

Thanks everyone
