ViewEmail me at richard AT barringtonmedia.co.uk – but the code in flash is this:
getURL(”javascript:callFancy(’linktopage.html’);”);
It’s important to get the HTML right else the pop up won’t work – though I normally wouldn’t embed a flash file like that (I always use SWFObject).

I could really do with some help with my site, I need to improve the conversion rate from traffic arriving at the site. Really struggling with Dreamweaver as I am not a pro by any measure, have a look and let me know what you think: http://www.thecleancarcompany.com
