Using The Whole Browser Window...


There is probably something very simple that I'm missing here. The movies I create only take up a small portion of the browser window, and appear in the upper-left corner. I have to edit the html to match the background center the movie.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Regards...

Close.window Script In Flash Button Quits My Browser Window Or Crashes System
Can somebody please help me?
I have a javascript attached to a button in a .swf file to close the browser window it is in.
The code which was given to me yesterday by senocular is

on(press){
getURL("javascript:window.close()")
}
__

however if you try it IE will unexpectedly quit or bomb my computer.
I tried it in Netscape and it didn't crash.

You can refer to my site http://www.valdesdesign.com
after intro go to print button and then to editorial button.
Editorial opens new window with editorial.swf inside. Click on top right button to close window and see what happens.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Please help me.
Thanks

Pausing After Preload If Browser Window Is Not Active Window
Hi folks,

I'm trying to figure out how to do this, but so far I have had no success. The intention is for anything like a Flash trailer, intro movie or such like which is large to preload and once this is done check to see if the user is still viewing that browser window.

So if during the preloading the user opens/selects a different window and the preloading finishes then the Flash will go to a paused screen, awaiting the user to indicate they want to proceed (eg a play button). If however the user still has, or has returned to, the browser window it will skip the pause screen and play the animation.

For an example the 9th chapter of Ninjai.com seems to do this (I haven't checked the other chapters).

Any help would be appreciated.

Loading External SWF's Into A New Flash Window Instead Of A Browser Window?
I have this flash presentation where I have buttons when clicked on, a (_blank) browser window pops-up and begins playing external SWF's.

The problem is that, with windows XP, every time I click the button(s) to have the browser window pop-up, to play my externals, the damn 'virus protection notification' thing pops-up first, asking me if this content is allowed. Is there a way to turn this off? My client does not want to have to "allow" the browser to play the external SWF's everytime. I've tried everything but no luck.

Better yet, is there a way to have the external SWF's pop-up in a totally new flash window, on top of the main (presentation) window? I don't want the external SWF's playing in the same window, but rather show in a new window entirely. Can anyone help me? This project is past-due and it needs to go out today. I'll attach the current scripting I'm using so far, if it helps. Thanks so much!



bottingsAd_mc.onRelease = function() {
getURL("exampleAds/bottingsports2_001.swf", "_blank");
};

Open A New Browser Window And Go To Frame(n) In The New Window
Hi I need some help.

I'm trying to load a new html file that contains a movie but I like to specify to what frame to proceed in that movie I try to write this in actionscript I think it is easier to understand.

// I have 2 html files contact.html and home.html

// And I have one swf file named home.swf with 2 scenes named "home" and "contact"

// The home.html and the contact.html both contain the same home.swf movie

// currently I'm in home.html I like to getURL("../main/contact.html")
that loads the contact.html and the contact.html contains the home.swf but I like to proceed to the gotoAndStop("Scene",1) or gotoAndStop("contact",1)

I hope that was clear enough if you may know the answer please email me I have suffered a lot on this but I just couldn't come up with the answer.

Which made it work the only thing is it pop up including the browser menu at the top - does anyone know how i can get rid of this?

Also within the html doc - http://www.design8ed.com/digitalspir.../designcs.html i have a close button which when reviewed works but when published it doesn't close the browser window - is there something i'm missing - why isn't it working?


Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!

How Do You Set Self-window With No Browser?
I'm having problems trying to set a html file saved frome flash 5.0 to load as its own window without the Browser shown. I've applied a button, so that when you click on it, the actionscript " geturl, 'blank'" , has been applied. But when you click on the button link, it still uploads the other swf. with a browser.

If anyone has a clue of what action script to set the button at, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

PS. If you have a answer and can contact me right away, email me at yaphetdavis@hotmail.com

More Than One Browser Pop-up Window?
I'm having problems. I'm using the script below in GetURL to open a window with a QT.mov. It works fine, until I try and open another QT.mov with different size parameters--it instead places the new movie in
the same window that was opened before. The problem being that if you open the small movie first (and don't close it before opening the bigger one) the bigger movie appears in the smaller sized window,
thus cropping it and irritating me to no end. Any advice is much appreciated.

Here's the java I'm using:

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('bg_reel_lbw.mo v','newWin','width=202,height=168,left=500,top=200 toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,res izable=No,fullscreen=No,menu=No,directories=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}

thanks for any help. it's desperatly needed.

New Pop Up Browser Window
Hey everyone,

I am currently developing a site in FLASH MX. The site is for a recreation dept. and I need a way for the users to print out a registration form. I feel the best way to do this is the have a pop-up browser window from a button. I have searched this forum for a couple of days now and have been unsuccessful in finding a script that works. I know the reg. form needs to be an HTML file and in the same folder as my SWF and FLA. However, I still cannot get it to work. All Ive gotten is a blank pop up window that says [Object, but no HTML file. Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Adam

Pop-up Browser Window...big And Not Big Enough

}


Problem:
On the Mac, in NetScape the window is to bigger and in IE it's not big enough. If you goto http://www.dossier.ws/chesley/home.htm > "about the artist" > "audio1" You'll see what I mean.

New Browser Window
Can anyone help.

I'm making some buttons in FlashMX to be used in a Dreamweaver table layout. What I need to do is have a new window open when it is clicked. I know I can do this by attaching a getURL actionscript and selecting _blank to the button but there are no options for specifying window size etc. What I want it to do is have it open at a specified size, without any scrollbars or browser tools and open in the centre of the previous browser window. Is there some other actionscripting to achieve this?

Thanks in advance

I have tried all the "publish settings" options and none of these seem to give me the effect I want.

Can I use a percentage value in a new browser window script that will fill a user's screen? For example... can I use "100%" instead of pixel values? If a user has his monitor properties set to 848 X 480 and my script has the new window dimensions of 1024 X 768, will not the window be too large for the user's monitor?

If this is do-able, what would the script look like?

RIght away something weird has been happening. Every time I test my movie a browser
window opens up to the: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ page telling me to download the
latest Flash player when I already have the latest installed (10.0.12.36). When I published the content
live the same thing happens. My Macbook Pro laptop with the latest Flash player 10 installed also
does it. Has anyone been experiencing this? If I go to another computer with Flash player
9,0,124,0 installed everything works fine. There seems to be a connection with Flash player 10.
