Trying to find ways around pop-up blocker in order to properly launch a site at a set width and height.
Can a flash getURL action do this? Circumvention, that is.

that's a truly insidious idea - everyone , don't help him!

There's a lot of different systems and platforms out there you would have to workaround... quite apart from the fact that people are going to hate you.

hey hey hey :>
It's not about creating pop-ups, it's just about having the site come up in a new window with a set width and height!

Give up the set width and height, it's the internet and people want to control their own browsers. Set width and height is for print.

Pop-up blockers are selective if they are done properly...
Example from Safari Help: "Blocking pop-up windows stops only pop-up windows that open when you open or close a page. It does not block pop-up windows that open when you click a link."
Lots of users want pop-ups to appear when they click on clearly marked popup content (such as enlarged views of images), and will have their preferences set accordingly.
So use a link: "Launch this site really really big" and you shouldnt have a problem?

Thanks ribit, that's exactly what I'll do.
