Flash :: Chromeless Windows

Chromeless Windows
Hi,

I have just downloaded the code for chromeless windows from microbians.com.

There is another tutorial for the same here....

http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials/

Check out Tutorial 26

Thanks to JLs2K, FK board crew, who guided me to this site which gave me answers to a lot of questions.

For a dud like me who doesnt know too much of HTML, this one is very easy to understand & simple to implement. The explanation is easily understandable. It also performed beautifully when I tried it. There is only one drawback though. doesnt have a minimise button.

The one in Microbians is similar & has a minimise button but there is hardly any explanation on how to integrate it into your own flash movie.

Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Chromeless Windows
Hey all...
Were trying to build a page with multiple chromless windows from one flash movie with 4 seperate buttons. At this point all we can get to work is one window flawlessly. The other buttons all pop up the same window. Heres the code were working with:

This is for the Flash:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascriptpenIT()");
}

This is for the HTML:
<script language="javaScript" type="text/javascript" SRC="http://www.voodoocreations.com/humanhead/java.js"></SCRIPT>

<script>
function openIT() {
theURL="http://www.voodoocreations.com/humanhead/test2.htm"
wname ="CHROMELESSWIN"
W=622;
H=500;
windowCERRARa = "http://www.voodoocreations.com/humanhead/close_a.gif"
windowCERRARd = "http://www.voodoocreations.com/humanhead/close_d.gif"
windowCERRARo = "http://www.voodoocreations.com/humanhead/close_o.gif"
windowNONEgrf = "http://www.voodoocreations.com/humanhead/none.gif"
windowCLOCK = "http://www.voodoocreations.com/humanhead/clock.gif"
windowREALtit = "HeadHunt"
windowTIT = "<font face=verdana size=1><b>Head Hunt - (Draggable Window)</b></font>"
windowBORDERCOLOR = "#000000"
windowBORDERCOLORsel = "#000000"
windowTITBGCOLOR = "#5F6478"
windowTITBGCOLORsel = "#FF0033"
openchromeless(theURL, wname, W, H, windowCERRARa, windowCERRARd, windowCERRARo, windowNONEgrf, windowCLOCK, windowTIT, windowREALtit , windowBORDERCOLOR, windowBORDERCOLORsel, windowTITBGCOLOR, windowTITBGCOLORsel)
}
</script>

The above combination is what works, now we need to get 3 more of those to function from the same page. Anybody got any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Fun With Chromeless Windows...
Based on the tutorial here at AS, I tried to implement it in my own flashmovie.
However, what I want is different from the example given in the tut.
That one is based on the asumption that all popups are of the same dimension and load the same page.html.
(in the javascript part in the main HTML file, URL and size is being set.)
However, I want a different popup size for different content... so in short:
in the getURL line, I need to also indicate width and height, + the target URL.

how do I do that? And which lines do I have to remove from the javascript in the main HTML + the .JS file in order to make it work???

thanks!

Help Required With Chromeless Pop Up Windows
i really like the chromeless pop up windows detailed here(http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/chromeless.htm) however i wanted to create a flash menu where there would be a number of these pop up windows. i can get one to work but if i put script for two windows i get problems.

what happens is when i click on the first link in the flash menu it opens the window from the second link, and the window from the second link opens the correct one.

i've tried renaming the parameters and changing the script to read my chromeless one etc. but this doesn't make any difference. I also tried getting the script to read from two different javascript files, however this did not work either.

any suggestions on how i could get this to work would be greatly appreciated.

Multiple Chromeless Windows
Hi,
I have a quick question about Flash MX 2004 and a tutorial from Kirupa.com...
I did the Chromeless Windows tutorial and I have a quick question about it -- is it possible to use multiple chromeless windows in one flash movie, linking to several different webpages? I am using the flash file as my main movie file, and linking off to webpages to illustrate shockwave files. I have it working fine if I use one window, but I need to be able to use multiple buttons on the .fla movie, which open up chromeless windows using different URLs... Is this possible? (I hope that made sense!)

Thank you so much in advance! I have a project due and I can't make it work!!!
Thanks!!

I pasted the script two times, added the correct addresses and now one button is launching the page behind the other button and the other button isn't working!!

Anybody has a clue how to do this?
Thank you very much

Flash Popup Adverts/windows That Aren't Windows
Hi there

Just wondering if anyone knows any links to tutorials to make those flash adverts you find on websites? They are actual popup windows but flash boxes that appear above a webpage.

I think they use div layers as well as some flash? But im not sure where to find a tutorial!

For an example visit:

http://www.channel4.com/4car/news/index.jsp

(you might need to click on several pages down the left to get one to appear)

Any help on this would be a great help.

Thanks

Ever Tried To Go Chromeless?
Hmm, strange thing, those chromeless windows...
I've searched the net todo such a thing in Flash and I landed on http://www.microbians.com , the inventor of the chromeless code. There latest version is 3.0. So, I created a text button in flash and put the actionscript they gave me trough email in the button:

getURL("mywinname01=openIT('test.html', 400, 400, null, null, 'mywinname01')")

Also, the flash HTML page should get a bunch of javascript code to, which I applied.

Then, I should publish the page into the dir where the images, the javascript file and the page you wish to open (in this case "test.html") are located, which I did.
BUT when I opened the page and clicked the link, I got a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error message.

Does anyone know how to call up such a chromeless within flash?

Blaster.

Chromeless
ok ok, i know this has been asked many times, but after reading some old posts, i am even more confused.

firstly...
i need a javascript in my html file to launch another html file (which is chromeless) which has a swf embbeded in it right?

secondly...
i need scripts in the swf file to be able to close the window, and if possible move it around...

is there anyone here who can post the scripts needed and possibly give a little comment on how it actually works, i dont want to just copy and paste stuff...

thankz

Chromeless From Within Chromeless (I Bet You Don't Know :)
One damn button link away from completing an 8 month project (details posted soon)...

I am launching the main site (swf) inside a chromeless window & have a button which i need to open a map in another chromeless window.. I have tried everything I know and spent the last 3 hours searching the forums here.. Loads of questions about basic popup windows and chromeless windows but no chromeless from chromeless !!

Here is the typical code I am using to launch the window (with acompanying JS file on the server obviously and the code in the head of the window it is launched from)

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:openIT('http://www.domain.com/standard/map.htm', 530, 300, null, null, 'map')");
}

etc etc,

Anyone know the score ???

Chromeless?
I have a game that I want to take up an entire screen. I've seen the chromeless windows, but I've heard that only a limited amount of people can see them.

Is this true?

Is there another way to do this, that everyone can see?

More Than Just Chromeless Pop Ups
Hi People!

I have a query about Chromeless Windows.

I know that the term chromeless popup window is one that doesn't show the browsers menu or tool bar, but does retain the title bar (for easy closing).

BUT....

I have seen Pop Up Windows that appear without ANY Chrome at all - not even the Title bar or browser edge, just windows that look as though they could be MC's (Movie Clips) in Flash but aren't, the seem to be seperate HTML pages

I can't find any examples at this point but....

CAN ANBODY RELATE TO WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT?!

Cheers

Chromeless And Swf's
I downloaded ByKlein Chromeless Windows 2.0 beta because the older version of chromeless was not compatible with IEsp1.
I want to simply put the flash file "index.swf" inside the chromeless page so it fits nice (Like in the older version) But I have found that it won't display flash files directly.
I know they work inside of html files. But I have so many flash files, as well as links to other flash files that would be a major pain. And I have set up my site to avoid using a ton of html files.
If I can directly link to an swf file am I going to have to fix all the links (which are inside the flash files) to other flash files? Cause right now they are just something like "bob.swf" which worked with the old version of chromeless and would just replace the current flash file with the linked one.
Help.
