Create a popup with a swf file

Question

Hello everyone, I am creating a personal travel photography
website. Basically what the users will be presented with is a map
of the world, they may scroll over different areas of the world
which will enlarge that geographical area. Hot spots will be
visible to users where pictures are available.
Now what I want to do is when the users click one of the hot
spots I want a popup window to appear with a already created
gallery.
Is there a simple way of doing this?

Yes, it is. Flash enables you to open Popups with getURL.
Here comes an HTML function. Just adjust it to Flash AS, and
call it with
parameters...
function popup(url, width, height) {
var w = width;
var h = height;
var dl = (screen.width - w) / 2;
var dt = (screen.height - h) / 2;
window.open(url, "",
"width="+w+",height="+h+",menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,left="+dl+",top="+dt);
Just make sure the url-site exists, and carries the
gallery... ;-)
