With this code AS3: <code> mHMlink.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,openPopUp); function openPopUp(evt:MouseEvent):void { var url:String = "http://www.holidaymedia.nl/webdesign-holidaymedia.htm"; var windowName:String = "hm"; var windowOptions:String = "width=350,height=210,left=80,top=180"; ExternalInterface.call( "window.open", url, windowName, windowOptions ); } </code> This code it works in all browsers including IE Ok, I found a solution and it worked great.
