When i click on the video with linkURL and blank it opens in a new window but also pauses the video. Is there a way to disable the pausing functionality?

first have you set if for your clip for auto-play? if that didn't work you may think about just passing that video to an new window that has a player codded init or rendered it. posting your code would help

That is precisely the behavior that you want! You don't want your surfers having to go back to the original window to stop the video. No decent player is designed to work the way you describe.

They'll hear the sound in the background, which is very disturbing when they see a new window open, and it just wastes CPU time. A video is playing in another window (chewing up processor task) and no one is watching it. Remember that not everyone has quad-core machines, and (almost) nothing uses up CPU time more than videos in Flash.
