Pop-up window in Flash, not working in IE on Mac

Urgently grateful for an answer to this problem.

I use this JavaScript in the page where the swf movie is contained.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica">code:</font><HR><pre>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
// openWindow()
// opens a popupwindow
// 'features' optional
//
function openWindow(theURL,winName,features) {
if (!features)
{
features = 'scrollbars=yes,width=800,height=600';
}

window.open(theURL,winName,features);

}

//-->
</script>
[/code]

And this embed-tag.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica">code:</font><HR><pre><object classid="[...]" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#3,0,0,0" width="800" height="600">
<param name="SRC" value="HDIW.swf">
<embed src="HDIW.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="800" height="600" swLiveConnect=true name=HDIW>
</embed>
</object>
[/code]

Note the "name" tag in the <embed> tag!

In Flash I use this Action.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica">code:</font><HR><pre>
On (release)
Get URL ("javascript penWindow('index.html','popupname','scrollbars=no,width=50,height=50')")

[/code]

This works fine on PC (IE/NN) and Mac (NN) but not Mac Internet Explorer.

mac ie 4.5 needs to be delivered to the garbage can. I hope this is not the root of your frustration.....
If so, save your sanity and post a big 'ol sign that says "if you have mac ie 4.5...you need to upgrade to view this site"

(sorry, I've had problems with 4.5 that were confirmed as screwy by the gods of flash themselves 'jd from mm')
