FLASH: popup window

[Paul Hagwood]

I call upon the great gods of Flash to help me. Please

oh great gods, hear my plea. Ok, here's the deal. 

I have a little window that I want to pop up and have

ordering info in it. When this little window pops up,

I want the user to be able to minimize the window,

close the window altogether and be able to drag the

window around (I don't ask for much, do I?). Let me

tell you how I'm doing it and I would love to know if

anyone has a better way.

I'm creating a movie clip for the window. I have a

point in the movie clip where the window is open and

where it is closed and if they hit a little X then it

goes back to start and there is no window at all. All

that is done with simple goto actions. The real

problem is the content in the window. When people

click certain options in the flash movie I have movie

clips within this window movie clip and telltarget

actions telling them to show certain data. In order to

hide the data I am trying to setproperty to 0 for the

data movies. It isn't working yet and it may not work,

but I'm flash actionscript illiterate and so if you

can help and you are willing to be patient and kind, I

would love to have your help.


Thanks.
