Flash Popup Window

I am creating my portfolio in flash and I would like the user to click on the image or the text and a smaller window with the image and a littlebit of information to appear on the left hand side of the screen with out a menu bar or scrollbar and i do not want it to be resizeable either. I used Rexmor's script that I found but that did not work. Does anyone have any suggestions. I would be very grateful.

And do you think this is okay to do design wize? i want the user to be able to see the image very well but it does not go with the design i created.

personally i do like pop-up windows anymore except it has to service its purpose but i designed my first portfolio with pop up windows. it's a big mess...too many windows opening up. right now i am designing mine differently. i would put my images inside of it.

i would suggest to put the pop-up window in the centre. there are javascripts out there to help you. if you need the codes let me know.

//put this script on your first frame of scene1

Movieclip.prototype.openWin = function (url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) {
getURL ("javascript: var myWin; if(!myWin || myWin.closed){myWin = window.open('" + url + "','" + winName + "','" + "width=" + w + ",height=" + h + ",toolbar=" + toolbar + ",location=" + location + ",directories=" + directories + ",status=" + status + ",menubar=" + menubar + ",scrollbars=" + scrollbars + ",resizable=" + resizable + "')}else{myWin.focus();};void(0);");
}

//then on the button

on (release) {
//url, winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable
openWin("about.html","blank",400,200,0,0,0,0,0,0,1);

}

hope this work for you.
