flash links work on my comp but not other peoples....

[GJClimer]

I created a site with centered pop up windows, using this tutorial for my code: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm

It works great on my mac and the site has gotten feedback from friends all over the world. but about 12 people have emailed me to say that the links are not working at all. One of them said he was using IE7 (latest version) and on a PC. The others said nothing about specifics.

this is the first time i have used links within flash. I have each ilnk as a button with this coding in the actions:

on (release) {
//customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = "http://www.Godspeedthewelldressedman.com/Fall07/Fall07.htm";
target_winName = "Godspeed the Well-Dressed Man Fall 07";
width = 665;
height = 810;
toolbar = 0;
location = 0;
directories = 0;
status = 0;
menubar = 0;
scrollbars = 1;
resizable = 1;
//sends data back to the function
openWinCentre(address, target_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);
}

I'm new to web design so i'm not sure how to approach this problem other than ask you guys for help. thanks in advance.

Thats not how i would code a js popup from flash.
Check out this flash popup creator

that site you recommended is awesome! what a goldmine!

I'll change my code because i trust your advice, but if you have a minute to explain why one is better, i would appreciate the lesson.

thanks for the help.

For a start your using word reserved by flash

width
height

Not saying that this is what the problem is but it is best to stay clear of using reserved words a variable names.

you've gotta be kidding, right? haven't we discussed this "reserved" words before?

[GJClimer]

so i put in the coding you recommended and i can view it on my computer, on my roommates computer, etc.
but when you open it on IE it says "invalid argument."


and no, i'm not kidding, i really am this ignorant about all this.
