Load and open swf in new window

Question

Hi everyone,
I have 2 flex applications named login and game. When the user logged in, I want the login swf to load the game swf and open it in a new window once it finished loading. I tried popup manager and title window but they only made the swf popped up INSIDE the app itself (which is the login swf). What I really want is to be able to load and open the game swf in a brand new popup window.
Please help. Thanks.

Loggin in is a classic example of when to use states.
The base state will be your app, and the "login" state will be your login state. Set the application currentState to 'login' in the creationComplete event.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
  creationComplete="this.currentState='login'">
  <mx:states>
    <mx:State name="login">
      <mx:RemoveChild target="{vb}"/>
      <mx:AddChild>
        <mx:Form>
          <mx:FormHeading label="Login"/>
          <mx:FormItem label="Username:">
            <mx:TextInput/>
          </mx:FormItem>
          <mx:FormItem label="Password:">
            <mx:TextInput displayAsPassword="true"/>
          </mx:FormItem>
          <mx:FormItem>
            <mx:Button label="Login" click="this.currentState=''"/>
          </mx:FormItem>
        </mx:Form>
      </mx:AddChild>
    </mx:State>
  </mx:states>
  <mx:VBox id="vb" width="100%" height="100%">
    <mx:Label text="Login Done - Now in Main App"/>   
  </mx:VBox>
</mx:Application>
