Unusual Pop-Up Question (help!)

[fearlessdean]

I have a strange need for a pop-up that I'm beginning to wonder now is even possible at all...

I am making an e-card to send to a mailing list of subscribers, but I want to ONLY include the .SWF file - nothing embedded in an HTML file. This is not optional under certain circumstances...

I want to create a section of the ecard where a pop-up is initiated without the user clicking a button... That I know how to do. The problem I am running into is that I want the script to pop up at 400x300 pixels, without scrollbars, without the address bar, and without any of the navigational tools...

The only way I knew how to do this was to put this in:

getURL("http://www.myURL.com/something.html", "_blank");


I have tried to insert the "width=400" - etc. parts in any way I could think of, but nothing works...

Does anyone know what I could do?

I have found a LOT javascripts online to make this work, but they all require something being inserted into the parent HTML file. Again, I will ONLY be sending out the .SWF file... so that can't be used.

Is this possible?

I hope so...

Any help would be AMAZING!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! =)

Here is an idea.
It is a little crude, but I don't readily know of another way to do it.

Since you have to call an html page, say something.html.

In this page have two JavaScripts; One that opens the pop-up window to your specified dimensions, and a second that is set to auto close the original page. You can set the pop-up script to go on load and the auto close to run at one half second so it is only there for a moment.

The only Flash ActionScripts I can find require JavScript in the html file to run. Since you are running just the SWF file, they won't do you any good.

Best of luck.
