not all popups are blocked. it depends on what you getURL to. If it's just a script, or a web page, the browser won't block it, if it's a javascript call, then you're on for problems. Try this : test_btn.onRelease = getThatURL; function getThatURL() { getURL("http://www.yahoo.com","aaa";); }

I'm not familiar with WebService, so please excuse me if I'm way off. Have you tried attaching the .target to wsResult.onResult? AFAIK functions are always dynamic. Alternatively, you could keep it in a local var, it could be accessed by wsResult.onResult if you declare it where you currently do.

In general, swf7 content should be the same or faster in FP8/9 than in FP7. AVM2 is completely separate from AVM1, but some aspects are shared. For example the incremental garbage collector, which was introduced in FP8. It's *possible* that certain apps on certain systems might appear to run slowe

For load time, export the animation to .swf (Maya, Swift3d do this - max too with a plugin I think). Much smaller than several bitmaps. However, much more processor intensive than bitmap sequences, so it's a tradeoff - depends on if you want textures, lighting, etc. If it needs to be fairly detai
