windowname.focus from flash document

My problem to solve is angled towards tabbed browsing.

I’ve kept this problem on the “oh, I’ll be able to figure this one out myself” list for weeks but am failing miserably ? .

Basically, my flash document opens a popup window. That popup window is brought on by the following externally loaded javascript .js file:

[CODE]var webcast = “null”;
var help = “null”;
var sonic = “null”;
var gallery = “null”;

function PopUp(url, name, width, height)
{
var attrs = ‘width=’ + width + ‘, height=’ + height + ‘, top=0, left=0, location=0, toolbar=0, scrollbars=0, status=0, menubar=0, resizable=0’;
if (name == “webcast”) webcast = window.open(url, name, attrs);
else if (name == “help”) help = window.open(url, name, attrs);
else if (name == “sonic”) sonic = window.open(url, name, attrs);
else if (name == “gallery”) gallery = window.open(url, name, attrs);
else return false;
return true;
}[/CODE]

Now, the opened window (let’s assume it’s called “help”) is brought to the front by most browser as a default. Tabbed browsers are another story.

When I run the PopUp function from an html page (using onClick), tabbed browsers open the tab window in front and display everything as I intend (yay).

From the flash document, however, the tabs are opened behind.

I’ve tried help.focus(); in the flash doc and self.focus(); inside the opened window but to no avail.

Is there any alteration to my .js code which might remedy the problem?

Other solutions?

NS7 is my primary target to rid of this problem.
