Flash :: How To Hide Web Browser's Tool Bar?

Third Party Tool To Show Or Hide Panels In Flash
Hi, I used to have a program that did this function:

Panels like the actions or the timeline one could be hidden, and if
you moved the mouse to the edge of the screen, they would appear, it
also worked with Photoshop (i think).

I'm looking for it, I had it installed on my old computer, and I recently
changed to a new one, but sadly I don't remember the name of that
program.

thnks.

Launch Full Screen Window With Auto Hide Tool Bar At Top
I've got all the correct action/java script set up so as to launch pop up windows in full screen, but I either need to implement a close window option within the pop up or allow the toolbar to appear on auto-hide at the top. Otherwise you can't close the pop up.

Any answers ? Much appreciated

Address URL In Browser.... Hide?
Hello,

Another quick question if I may. I'm using Dreamweaver to create a simple HTML site as an intro to my flash animation. Is there anyway
to link in Dreamweaver so that the address does not appear in the address URL bar on Explorer? Currently it is showing ...intro.html then ...flash.html etc as the user clicks around. I don't mind it showing the main url, just not the pages the user links too.

Any suggestion most welcome!

many thanks in advance.

[AS2] Is It Possible To End Movie Or At Least Hide It In Browser When It's Done?
Because of SEO considerations I am trying to use flash as little as possible in my site.

I need it though for uploading files. I like to have an accurate progress bar and I find flash is great for this.

Anyway once my file is uploaded, successfully, I would like the flash to go away (either exit or hide itself) and reveal an "Add To Basket" button underneath which is written in HTML.

Failing that, is there a way to get flash to change a CSS style of an object so I could have my Add To basket button hidden and then made visible when the flash tell it?

Thanks

Browser Detect To Hide A DIV Layer?
I am adding a transparent Flash window to an HTML page, so it appears that things are flying over the HTML page. (I'm NOT having a problem with this.)

Problem is that the transparent Flash only works in the following browsers:

Internet Explorer 3 or higher (Windows)
Internet Explorer 5.1 and 5.2 (Macintosh)
Netscape 7.0
Mozilla 1.0 or higher
AOL
CompuServe

So... I need a JavaScript that detects browsers and hides the DIV layer if the wrong browser is detected. I've found browser detection scripts, but can't figure how to modify them to hide a layer.

PROBLEM: I'm totally lame when it comes to scripting. Can some kind soul help me here? I'd be happy to send lots of great karma your way!

Browser Without Scrollbar, Certain Size, No Tool Bar Or Adress Bar?
Hi

I have made four animations which are 800 X 500.
Because two of them use a lot of screenshots which are jpegs I want the to load in a browser and that is exactly that size, the movies to stay non scalable.

I have managed to figure out how to get the animations to not be scalable but have not figured out how to make the browser un scalable and fit around the movie exactly.

I dont want any address bar or scroll bar or any of the tool bars only the title bar and thats it.

http://autodemo.com/web_demos/samples has a few movies that are similar to what i want and am doing.

Also i need the thing to detect and make sure the user has latest flash player.

Can anyone Please help?

Mouse.hide Doesn't Hide Mouse
I am developing for a touchscreen and trying to hide the mouse cursor - completely.

But mouse.hide is not doing it's job.

I am trying to go to the Flash 5 standalone player format.

I created an actions layer in the main movie and just inserted the mouse.hide command into it but, alas, there is no hiding going on.

The windows cursors (win98) have all been given a blank icon

Which leaves flash only displaying a cursor (that stupid finger) when a button is pressed - the finger pops up and then instantly dissapears

But its ugly, and unnecessary for Touch Screen navigation

if anyone has any suggestions . . .

Full Browser Flash, Vertical Scrollbar Just Like Browser?
In short:
http://www.subdisc.com/
Look at the right scrollbar, how do I accomplish this?

The height of my site site is bigger than the Stage.height.
I could use a browser scrollbar via Java, but since I want to be free in design of every component I would rather use a flash scrollbar.
But how?

Full Browser Flash Detecting Browser Size Help.
http://akmphoto.net/akmdesign_new.html

Anyone know the AS to make it automatically check the size of the browser for the listeners.... _notice when you resize the browser it works perfectly...but not when it first loads up...any ideas?

Code:
// ***Stage aligned top left
Stage.align = "TL";
// *** Stop the stage from scaling with the browser window.
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
stop ();
// initiate postitions and scaling values for objects
fluid._x = (Stage.width + 200)/2
fluid._y = Stage.height/2
bottomstretch._height = Stage.height;
rightstretch._height = Stage.height;
topstretch._width = Stage.width;
rightstretch._x=201;
tutoriobutton._x = Stage.width - tutoriobutton._width

bottomo._x = (Stage.width + 200)/2
// end initial position setting

//create a listner that checks to see if the browser window is resized
sizeListener = new Object();
sizeListener.onResize = function() {
// change movieclip properties when the window is resized.
topstretch._width = Stage.width;
fluid._y = Stage.height/3;
fluid._x = (Stage.width + 200)/3;
bottomstretch._height = Stage.height;
rightstretch._height = Stage.height;
//*note* 200 is the width of the left column
tutoriobutton._x = Stage.width - tutoriobutton._width
bottomo._y = Stage.height/1;
bottomo._x = (Stage.width + 200)/2;
};
Stage.addListener(sizeListener);

Full Browser Movie, But Use Browser Scrollbar When Needed
Is there any way to make a full browser swf that, at a certain point, stops scaling to the stage and allows the browser to use it's native scrollbars?

For example, say my flash site has a top bar (it's y is always 0) and a bottom bar (it's y might be stageHeight - 15). Is there any way to tell the movie to stop scaling if the bottom bar's y is less than say 300, and from that point have the browser display it's scrollbars allowing you to scroll the content?

Pen Tool
You know when you draw something with the pen tool, and then scale it smaller the lines start to bunch up and mess up the drawing.
Is there a way of keeping that from hapening?
Thanx!!!

The Pen Tool
When I use the pen tool in Illustrator, I have the option of creating lines, where the ends are sharp and boxy.

When I copy/paste into Flash 5, the ends of the lines turn soft and rounded. Is there any way to get the ends sharp and boxy?

If you need clarification of what I mean, I can send you a *.gif by email.

Thanks.

Using The Pen Tool
When I use the pen tool in Illustrator, I have the option of creating lines, where the ends of the lines (they call 'caps') are sharp and boxy.

When I copy/paste into Flash 5, the ends of the lines turn soft and rounded. Is there any way to get the ends sharp and boxy? I haven't used Flash 6 yet, but has this feature been added to Flash 6?

What's The Right Tool For The Job?
I was thinking about a app where a user could take their picture load it to the website and then see what they would look like in a clothing item, like a shirt. Now I'm imagining you would need sliders on the shirt to make it size correctly, to the picture, also the shirt whould then have to be draggable. Is this something thats do able in FLASH or is there another app out there that might be better suited?

Hide MC
HELP,
I've used this script from the tutorial section:

onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
// x movement
mx = _root._xmouse;
if (mx<_x) {
dx = _x-mx;
} else {
dx = mx-_x;
}
moveSpeedx = dx/10;
if (mx<_x) {
_x = _x-moveSpeedx;
} else {
_x = _x+moveSpeedx;
}
// y movement
my = _root._ymouse;
if (my<_y) {
dy = _y-my;
} else {
dy = my-_y;
}
moveSpeedy = dy/10;
if (my<_y) {
_y = _y-moveSpeedy;
} else {
_y = _y+moveSpeedy;
}
}

Which works perfectly, but once the mouse leaves the flash file within my HTML page, the MC its attached to stays visible in the flash area locked to either the bottom or side of the flash file. How can I make the MC invisible while the mouse in not in the swf area, but come back once the mouse enters again.

Thanks.

Best Way To Hide Something
Hi,

I was wondering which is the best way to hide a movieclip:

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_alpha = 0;
}

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_visible = false;
}
or setting Alpha = 0% from the properties panel

If there is a significant difference in performance, which is the best?
