In GL CS2 I'm able have a link on a website open a new browser window with a flash player video. But that just shows the flash player with controls in a new full size page with a blank area around the player.
What I want, is for the video to open when using the link in a new small browser window the size of the player. And the new window in front of the page with the link and have that stays open.

Probably very easy but I can't work out how to do it.

GoLive should have an OpenWindow action that you can attach to your link - that would let you set the new window to the size you want, then point the URL to your page with the embedded Flash video player.

Thanks Nate for that advice. It worked well.

On the window that opens is there a way to prevent the toolbar etc. appearing, and just have the close option on that window only.

Uncheck all those boxes for the browser chrome in the action settings. Except "resize" - I like to leave that one available.

Thanks a lot Nate. That was exactly what I wanted.
Stupid me. I searched previously for those options but they were hidden.
Just had to resize the actions palette.
