Subject: Re: FLASH: Trouble opening new window.

Jason,

Well, we're getting there at last! The addition of - " - before toolbar
seemed to do the trick. Yes I was getting an error message that I forgot to
mention. The trouble is that although the window opens the correct size
there is a border around the top and left side, and the image is croped off
on the right and at the bottom. Any ideas how I can get around this?

Thanks once again.

Cheers.

Paul.
