  1. Flash doesn't open windows itself. It either makes a request to simply open a new window from the DOM like an <a> tag would or it calls JavaScript and the script does the opening and sizing of the new window itself. Either way, it's not really a Flash issue. Your best bet is to use something in Flash like this... getURL("javascript:openThisLink('http://intel.com');"); Then you'd need a JavaScript function on the same HTML page where the Flash sits called "openThisLink" that takes a single parameter. The alternative to this is to use something called ExternalInterface, which is a newer way to do something similar to above. Either way, it's JavaScript that opens new windows at particular sizes - assuming the browser permits such actions.
