m@ Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Yeah, so im running a flash movie inside of an html page. I don't want the tool bars because its being put on a cd and run off of auto run. Currently I have an autorun.inf file that simply starts the html page, but the only thing is is that i want it as a large pop up so it doesn't look like internet explorer. Does anybody know how I could do this?
LuTze Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Make an executable flash file instead of a .swf, then autorun that?
m@ Posted February 9, 2004 Author Posted February 9, 2004 then the pop ups won't work properly because the flash file tells internet explorer to load an url that is actually javascript code to load the pop up. So i would get 2 windows, one with for some reason has the text "[object]" in it.
Sayonara Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 You aren't explaining what you want very well. There's all sorts of funky actionScript <> JavaScript interaction you can do to control both the Flash player and browser windows. http://www.actionscript.org
mossoi Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 Javascript can only make a pop-up page without the scroll bars, status bar etc (furniture). In other words the first window has to be a full browser window - subsequent pop-ups can be stripped of furniture and resized. I think you may mixing methods here though. If you want the movie to be in it's own window then you will have to make it entirely in flash - including the pop-ups (dunno how to do that) otherwise the first window to open will be a full blown browser window.
Sayonara Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 You could always have a full-blown browser window launch a chromeless pop-up that then kills its parent, but it (a) might not look too great starting up and (b) probably won't be cross-platform.

Sayonara Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 There is a way to evade that, I'll see if I can dig out the script.
m@ Posted February 16, 2004 Author Posted February 16, 2004 hows it coming? have you given up? there is still time but i still have a deadline your my only hope, lol.
Sayonara Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 Ooops, so sorry I forgot. I can't find the script I used before. I got it from one of these: http://javascript.internet.com/ http://www.jmwebdesigns.com/freestuff/scripts/
m@ Posted February 20, 2004 Author Posted February 20, 2004 one of the scripts there said there was no way around it, are you sure you know there is?
Sayonara Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 The function definitely exists. It's called "super close window", and I am certain there's a DreamWeaver 4 plugin for it.
m@ Posted February 20, 2004 Author Posted February 20, 2004 I have no idea how i can do this, are you sure you cant just find the script?
