Popup Window For Flash Video FLV

Hello, thank you all in advance. I’m really trying to do somethign quiet simple, but, it’s not working. My goal is this: To have my FLV movie popup in a window that is perfectly sized (no-scroll, no-nagivation, etc) from my WordPress blog.

I have already looked around at plugins that work, but I don’t want to use a third-party plugin. I want to use the skins (for example, clearSkin_3) Dreamweaver 8 provides.

I created another, external HTML file in a separate directory [example: /mysite/blog/movies/ ] that contains these files:

movie.flv (movie)
clearSkin_3.swf (skin I like)
FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
index.htm

In the index.htm file, I only have my movie.flv in the top right, and the movie is 400×250 px. (Note, when I upload this movie directory to my server and access it directly, it works fine.)

What I want: A text/image link from my WordPress blog, and when you click on it, it pops up a window that is 400×250 and has no window attritubes, and will use the original Flash skins and player. (Why not use FLV-Player? Because the skin isn’t what I prefer, and the playback is choppy for me, controls are difficult to manage.)

I’ve also looked at Freevlog, but it seems to use the same FLV-player engine, and I couldn’t get the popup.php to work, and I don’t want to use a popup.php file from their server (which did work, but the window wasn’t sized correctly, yadda yadda).

Is this possible?

Last note, when I’m in Dreamweaver 8, and I create a new HTML file and make a text link, then apply the ‘Open New Browser Window’ Behaviors to it, everything works fine on the server. When I take that code and use it in WordPress, it doesn’t make a popup window, it just goes to the page (full size, all window attributes are there.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I spend many hours trying to do this before I finally posted here. Thank you.
