popup window from flash

[stef]

hi there!
i am calling this function, which i have embedded in html from flash:


/////////////////

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> var javascript_version = 1.0;</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1"> javascript_version = 1.1;</SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

var newwin;
function launchwin(winurl,winname,winfeatures)
{
if (newwin != undefined) {
newwin.close();
}
setTimeout('',250);
//This launches a new window and then
//focuses it if window.focus() is supported.
newwin = window.open(winurl,winname,winfeatures);
if(javascript_version > 1.0)
{
//delay a bit here because IE4 encounters errors
//when trying to focus a recently opened window
setTimeout('newwin.focus();',250);
}
}
</SCRIPT>

////////////////

it works just fine on the PC, but on a MAC no window appers :((
when i leave the following if-statement out (which i use to close the window before i open a new one, because i want only one window which changes its dimensions )

if (newwin != undefined) {
newwin.close();
}

a window appears, but it doesn't change the the height & width attributes which i pass in
from flash....
the code on the flash button is the following:

//////////////////

on (press) {
getURL ("javascript:launchwin('apps/panorama_pc.html', 'Z_Z','height=700, width=1014, menubar=0, scrollbars=0, status=0, toolbar=0, directories=0, fullscreen=0, sreenX=0, left=0, screenY=0, top=0');");
}

////////////////

any help on this GREATLY appreciated!!!!
best wishes

have you tried your code in NS6+ browsers?

If it still works then there is a problem,else I think there are errors in the code that IE just overlooks in windows and it does not over look them on MAC

khalid,
thanx for the reply!
just tried the following:
NS 7.02 on MAC OS 9.2 works fine
NS communicator 4.5 on MAC OS 9.2 doesn't work - first a window opens, but the height/width parameters won't do anything, the window doesn't scale, after that, no window opens at all
IE 5 on MAC OS 9.2: no window opens whatsoever...

what do you think could be wrong with the code?
best wishes
