<body onload="if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed){window.opener.parent.location='back_cover.html';}"
The script runs in a popup window and it changes the contents in the window that launched the popup. It works great. However, here is my problem. The onload works when all the html is loaded but IÕm loading a flash movie, which onload doesnÕt recognize, this results in the new contents and my flash movie loading at the same time, which slows down the whole process.
IÕve been trying to incorporate ŌsetTimeoutÕ command to delay the loading for 20 seconds but canÕt get it to work.
Any help writing this script much appreciated.

setTimeout("if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed){window.opener.parent.location='back_cover.html';})", 20000);
You could also use Flash to execute the script when it is done loading using FScommand.
I like the FScommand but alas the 'flashmaster' couldn't live up to his name and I can't get that to work either.
<script>
function waitABit(){
setTimeout("popMe()", 20000);
}
function popMe(){
if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed){window.opener.parent.location='back_cover.html';}
}
</script>
<body onLoad="waitABit()">
With Flash
Have an action on your first frame that check to see if the last frame is loaded. Once it triggers you want to
Get URL ("javascript:popMe()")
you have made my day, it works a treat.
thank you
