When people open my site, they get first the invitation to desactivate the cookies bar. But they are forced to use Actualize, the page ist not loaded automatically. Would it work with an EnterFrame Function?
Thank you very much in advance.

ALike me and where you are... Okay, no I must have been incomplete: I meant and still mean the status bar where you can disable or always enable the "actives".
What I wish to do: That my page opens directly to the flash movie without the obligation to choose or not to enable or disable.
please try: <edited>
You'll get, the first once, an invitation if you wish or not to enable the actives or so...
Not really enlightened in this area, maybe I express unstraightly.
Hope that stands for and you understand what I mean,

Apparently, you have a blank page and open a popup window for the content. Very poor design- most people have popup blockers enabled these days and will get the same thing as I did: a blank screen.
I appreciate your comment. And exactly that's the thing. I don't want it to open to a pop up but to a flash movie! An cannot understand why it opens to a pop-up...
Could you please explain me what I have to change?
Would be great.
Thank you very much in advance.

Of course it's opening to a new window what is wanted! I appreciate the black background page.
The question sill remains: Do you know how to manage to have the other page open in a new window without being blocked as a pop up?
(I used the simple Java Script command, by the way).
Thank you in advance you all.

No. Because it IS a popup!
If you remove elements of the window that are provided by the browser (such as the status bar or URL bar) then, by defination, it is a popup window.
While different popup blockers may have their own ideas of just what constitutes a popup (and many give the user some degree of control over this), fiddling with the browser's UI is in most cases going to get your page classified as a popup and blocked.
Thank you for your response.
You say, in most of the cases. This means, there may be a solution.
I could for example advise in the black page that popup has to be allowed by user input.
Is there maybe a better solution...?
Thank you in advance,

It's really difficult to understand what you are trying to do. In your 3rd message, you say that you DON'T want a popup. Yet in your 4th message, you say that IS what you want.
The problem with this is, a nice, clean, uncluttered seperate window, with nothing but a frame, could display anything at all inside the window, mimic a webbrowser window, and could be used as spyware.
When I said "in most cases", I simply meant that some popup blockers work differently than others, and that some users will set their popup blocker settings differently than others.
I think it's a lost cause. You are going to lose too many users who won't be willing to follow instructions on how to disable their popup blocker. And too many popup blockers to give them instructions.
In a few select cases, where a user would make significant use of your site (such as, say, a site for live stock quotes and charts) this could be done using a Java applet, having the user accept prompts to trust your site and override security settings, and, of course, a great deal of trust on the part of the user.
