Flash In Dreamweaver: How Do I Get My Flash Movie To Open In A New Browser Window?
Anyone know how to make a Flash movie appear in it's own browser window when a link is clicked? I want the window to be exactly the size of the movie with no menu buttons, white border etc.
Don't think it can be too hard as I've seen it loads with Flash movies, but I'm a total newbie to Dreamweaver so any simple instructions would be massively appreciated!
Cheers, Skratch.

Using Flash To Open A New Browser Window - Exact Size Of Flash Movie?
Hi,
In Dreamweaver, I've previously used the 'open new browser window' behaviour from a link to display my Flash movies, and entered the .SWF filename as the URL to launch (this launches a browser window thatls exactly the size of the movie, no scrollbars, buttons etc). Can I do a similar thing with Flash's 'get URL' command, or does that only go to HTML/HTM files?
Cheers, Skratch

Open Browser Window Like In Dreamweaver?
Hi,
How can I control the size of a pop up broswer window. For example, Dreamweaver has an "open browswer window" option, which allows for pixel size or the new window, as well as the ability to not show browser nav buttons, etc.
I know, a slide show would be best, & that's coming later.
Here's the page in question:

Open New Browser Window In Flash
Hi, newbie here. I have created a webpage completely in Flash. I have also looked at your tutorial on opening new browser windows from Flash. I have had success with the tutorial but I have a question.
The website I created was for an architecture firm. There are several thumbnails of past projects. What I would like to do is have an image open in a new window when you click on a corresponding thumbnail. What is the best way to go about this task? I have several images I would like this to work with. Is this the best way to go:
Quote:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function Launch(page) {
OpenWin = this.open(page, "CtrlWindow", "toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=no,r esizable=no,width=550,height=250");
}
// End -->
</SCRIPT>
If so, how do you set this up so that if you want one image to appear in a 600X600 window then the next to be in a 300X300?
I guess my question is how best to do this??
Thanks

How Do I Open A New Browser Window From A Link In Flash?
Seemed to me this would be easily accomplished...perhaps it is. But I'm having trouble with it.
The link (button) has the following code attached to it:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.faithbaptistwaterford.org/youth/intro.htm", _blank);
}
Unfortunately, the page loads in the same browser as the flash movie....which has no toolbars and is a specific size...a 'window'.
Thoughts anyone??
Just want to open up a new regular browser window.

Flash 8 Get Url And Javascript Open Browser Window
Hello,
I'm having trouble using an old method to open a new browser window from a flash 8 published swf. I have a button using Get Url and a java script to open a new window of fixed dimensions with code that's always worked in the past, however it opens a window from the published flash movie which instantly closes but nada happens from the html page it's sitting in. I know there's new methods for using external API's but cannot find any info on using it to do this simple task. I have a script in the html page it needs to load. Is it some kind of permissions/security issue or does it only work on live sites? (ie not local previews)
If anyone can help out it would be much appreciated it's doing my head in because it used to take about 5 mins to get working but i've been struggling for a couple of hours. Likewise if there is an alternative method not relying on Java script I'd really apreciate knowing about it.
I need to launch a fixed sized window that's centered on screen from user clicking on a button in a seperate flash file on a seperate html page.
Thanks,
Sam

Flash 8 Open Browser Window When Button Link Is Clicked
I'm trying to get the down state button (not the frame) to use the getURL("url", "window"); in order to open a link in a new browser window from within a flash swf. It keeps saying when i check the syntax that I need an OnClipEvent handler? not sure how this works can anybody shed some light on this problem? It seems like an easy thing to do but it's not working for me. Thanks in advance.

Making A Flash Movie Open In Flash Player, Not A Browser
Hi, i know it sounds like a really obvious question but i can't figure it out. I did a flash movie for this site: -
localeyenewspaper.com
if you go to the sample newspaper and click a page opens with a flash movie in a html page. My boss now wants the user to be able to zoom in and read the paper, so i need it to open in the flash player to do this. all i did in dreamweaver was link the movie to the button and it automatically put it in the html page, how do i get it to open in flash player instead? thanks.

Can GetURL Open Link Into A Movie Clip Rather Than In A New Browser Window / Tab ?
I don't suppose anyone knows how to open a url link by getURL so it loads into the same flash document e.g an empty movie clip rather than in a new browser window or tab?
If I could set up a particular container movie clip so that when a getURL command is excecuted it populates its self with basic html text and images in it, over the top of the existing flash movie, rather than the standard way of opening its self in a new window or tab. I
I have searched the forum and there is a lot of results but i dont think any of them are trying to do exactly what I have just said. If anyone could provide me with any info or tutorials on this kind of thing it would be great!

Closing Flash Movie But Leave Browser Open
Hey,
I've got a HTML page with a flash movie embedded in the code. Is it possible to close the flash movie without it closing the browser window thats got the HTML in?
I know this is probably easy, but everything I've tried so far just closes the browser window!
I have also tried having the flash movie going to a blank keyframe on the timeline when the close button is clicked, but I don't think this is the best way to do it as the movie is still there!
Thanks in advance.

How Do You Open A New Window With Flash Movie That Plays At Certain Frame?
I'm trying to make an image gallery thing of sorts and I am having a hard time figuring it out.
I have a .swf file and I want the user to be able to click on it and it opens a new window that will play a new .swf file at certain frames based on what they clicked in the original .swf file?
So if the user clicks on button 1 in the main .swf file it opens a new window that plays the other .swf file and starts at frame 1.
And if the user clicks on button 2 in the main .swf file it opens a new window again and starts at frame 2 and so on and so on.
I'm fairly new to flash so I don't even know if this is possible but Im sure if it is, someone here would know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

New Browser Window From Flash Movie
Can anyone tell me how to make a new browser window appear by pressing a button in a flash movie?
I'm doing a flash site for a photographer and the images are around 300px high. I'd like to have a larger version appear in a new browser window (presumably, one just large enough for the image) when the viewer clicks the 300px version.
I thank you for any help.

How Do I Make Flash Movie Fit Whole Browser Window?
I'm just curious from you experienced designers, I know a screen is 800x600 but what is the actual display size of most browser windows. Reason I ask is I was trying to scroll an image off the side of the screen but it seems it comes in like 10 or 15 pixels into the window instead. How can I get it to actually look like it is coming from the side of the browser. No matter where I place it in Dreamweaver it still has a gap.

Expanding Flash Movie In Browser Window?
Ok, I just went to FlashSound.com and Flash movie area expands and contracts with the browser window. No actual HTML is showing, just the FLASH movie itself...
Does anyone know how this is done? I'm guessing it has some embedded JavaScript in the HTML document.
