Hello,

I am having a problem with sending communication between 2 windows, with the code shown below. This code is from a photo thumbnail button in a parent window, which on pressing brings up a popup swf. This swf then displays an image (on release function) depending on which thumbnail was pressed.

My computer is quite slow (P3 800) and the functionality isn't working as it should, as the getURL command is not completed by the time the on (release) command is issued.

Code:

 
on (press)
{
getURL("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('right.html', 'Solid Earth Gallery', 'width=700, height=500); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}
on (release) {
_root.sender.send("popupConnection", "whichPhoto", "clip1.swf");
}

Does anyone know of a way around this?

many thanks,
Rebecca.
