Hello,
I've programmed some radio stations in flash (wimpy) at:
http://www.free-samples-n-loops.com/...-stations.html
The radio players show an image related to the artist, for example a CD cover or photo, which will link the viewer directly to the artist's store or website, without interrupting the stream.
WIth Explorer, the link opens in a new window, but not in firefox where it opens in a new thumbnail. So my question is, do you know a way to open these links in a new window in firefox?
Thank you.

what's the code you're using atm?

Thanks for helping.

This is the code to open the pop-up:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
    <!--
    function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
      window.open(theURL,winName,features);
    }
    //-->
    </script>
    <a href="#" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.100musicradio.com/rock-radio-station.html','popWimpyStretch','resizable=yes,width=618,height=140')"><img src="launch-free-radio-station.jpg" border="0" align="top" alt="free radio stations">
    </a> 

And this is the code of the wimpy flash radio player:

what code does the flash application use to open the new window? the code you posted looks alright, can't see any problem there.

Not sure as I've done it automaticaly with the 'Customize Wimpy' tool, but I guess it's this line:

<param name="flashvars" value="wimpyApp=http://www.100musicradio.com/free-radio-stations/playlists/rock-playlist.xml&wimpySkin=http://www.100musicradio.com/wimpy/skins/skin_100_music_radio.xml&startPlayingOnload=yes&shuffleOnLoad=yes&randomOnLoad=yes&popUpHelp=no&startupLogo=http://www.100musicradio.com/free-radio-stations/playlists/myLogo.jpg&ecomWindow=_blank" />

In fact, the codes work well, both in Firefox and Explorer, I'd just like, when the people click on the image of the radio stations, that it opens a new page, not in an other thumbnail as it does in firefox but in an other window (as it does in explorer)

You can see it at: http://www.free-samples-n-loops.com/...-stations.html

By clicking on the launch player button of one of the radio stations available, it displays an image, then if you click on the image under firefox, you may see that it does not open an other page (what I'd rather like) but an other thumbnail.

well, to open a new window instead of a resized one, you just have to set the second parameter of the getURL function in Flash to "blank". I don't know if this is possible via a flashvar cause i've never used Wimpy before (don't even know what it is )
