We're putting links in our Webhelp to online video tutorials. I've been trying to create them as popups, so I can specify a window size, etc., but the default popups in Flare don't come with "Close" buttons. When a user clicks off the popup window, the popup hides, but the audio keeps playing, and there's no way to close the popup completely.

Am I missing a stylesheet command somewhere for adding a red closing "X" to the popup window?

Thanks!

I'm not sure that popups support that kind of thing (I could be wrong though).

What you might try instead is to open a full topic in a second window (i.e. use the target = blank option in the link). You can create another skin that has minimal content (i.e. no navigation, TOC pane, buttons, etc.) and has a size and position that matches how you want the videos to be presented. This would automatically give you a close button (and of course you could also add a "close this page" link at the bottom, which seems to be a common feature of popup windows in modern web design).
