Pop up messages

[lance]

Is there a way to stop all of the pop up messages, ie.
pop up killers, kill messengers, etc.? All of these
websites say that Windows XP allows these popups. My
computer has gotten so many of these things that I spend
more time clicking the boxes off then I do using the
internet. I use AOL vers. 8.0 and have changed my
settings to stop popups, but it doesnt seem to be doing
any good. Any suggestions?

We have Windows XP loaded on our computer. We keep
getting pop up Service Messages.
If you go to [url]www.endads.com[/url] it states that this was
endluced in Microsofts Windows XP, 2000, and NT.

How can we get rid of these annoying pop up messages?

Thank you.

all, consider purchasing and installing a third-party program
designed to do just that:

Are you leaving the open ports on their computer for a reason?

Hi, I was wondering does anybody know if it possible to make links in director that give you small pop up window messages. Thank you for any help!

Like
alert("Hello world!")

?

maybe...

Or she could mean the tooltip behavior.

Have a look in the library for the display text behavior

Yep, kinda like that. Its for an e-learning package. I want the students to be able to click on difficult terms and a pop up window with the definition would appear. Do you know if this is possible, thank you!

You can create this sort of thing just by using sprites. or you can
create a MIAW to do that, or you can use system alerts if you like.

I would recommend using a set of sprites to handle that. You can create
your "message" window using any number of sprites. Use a series of
high numbered channels so that they will always come to the front. Then
place them all at some location that's off the visible area of the
stage. When you need this window, just move the sprites in place.
