Flash :: Locking The Window Size

Locking Window Size On .swf And .exe
I'm a super shiny newb at this so I apologize for the simple queston but I figure this is the place for it.

I am trying to lock the window size of a published .exe or .swf

I've looked up the question here and it seems locking with JavaScript is the answer if publishing for HTML but that is not my aim.

I need to be able to publish .exe for CDs or hand off a .swf for someone else to post and I need them to be as unalterable as possible.

I'm using MX 2004 if that makes a difference.

Thank you in advance. I've only been doing Flash for 2 weeks and I already like you people.

Locking Window Size....
Hello,

I'm still beavering away on my first flash site.
Very simple question(s). - How do I specify the size of window that my flash site appears in (in explorer) - and also - how do I stop people from resizing the window (most flash sites i've seen appear inside a window which cannot be enlarged)?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Locking Screen Size + More. More More :)
Hello everyone. As my first post here, I'd like to really thank everyone who gives the new people a hand, and not hoarding all the information to themselves. Thanks!

On to the questions:

1). when I exported my flash to a .EXE file, by default, the 'Loop' option is checked under the CONTROL menu. How can I change this so that the movie does not loop automatically when the user runs the program?

2. Secondly, I would like to be able to lock the window size. Currently when playing the movie, the user is able to resize the window and see 'outside' of the movie... ie: the white background (whereas all they should be seeing is a black background).

3. When my movie is running, the default window size that opens is too small, and the user has to drag the bottom part of the window downwards (to extend the window larger) in order to see the whole movie. When the movie opens in it's default window size, the user cannot see the text on the bottom of the screen. However, when they make the movie fullscreen, everything is normal. Ideas?

Once again, I really thank you for all your help! You're the greatest!

Locking Stage At Certain Size
Hello,

currently designing this site here:

http://www.theplayground.net.au/cc3

The trouble is that when you resize the window to 800 x 600 or smaller, the navagation runs over the logo (top left - christopherchris) and the contact details run over the centered images.

Im using this code to keep the background image to the size of the browser and to keep the logo and contact details anchored:

function initScale() {
screenInitWidth = 1200;
screenInitHeight = 800;
_root.screenInitWidth = 1200;
_root.screenInitHeight = 800;
bgImage_mc._x = screenInitWidth/2;
bgImage_mc._y = screenInitHeight/2;
bgImage_mc.initWidth = bgImage_mc._width;
bgImage_mc.ratio = bgImage_mc._height/bgImage_mc._width;
var stuff = new Object();
stuff.onResize = function() {
stretchIt();
};
function stretchIt() {
if (zoomedIn == false) {
//image
screenRatio = Stage.height/Stage.width;
if (bgImage_mc.ratio>screenRatio) {
bgImage_mc._width = Stage.width+1;
bgImage_mc._height = bgImage_mc._width*bgImage_mc.ratio+1;
} else {
bgImage_mc._height = Stage.height+1;
bgImage_mc._width = bgImage_mc._height/bgImage_mc.ratio+1;
}
}
//anchored elements
main._x = Math.round(0-((Stage.width-screenInitWidth)/2)+60);
main._y = Math.round(0-((Stage.height-screenInitHeight)/2)+30);
contact_mc._x = Math.round(0-((Stage.width-screenInitWidth)/2)+60);
contact_mc._y = Math.round(Stage.height-((Stage.height-screenInitHeight)/2)-115);

}
Stage.addListener(stuff);
stretchIt();
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
}

Has anyone got an idea on how I can add a script to this code to prevent the stated problem from happening?

Any ideas really welcome!

If you need more info, let me know!

Thanks in advance

Locking/resizing Window
How can i get my flash site to open in a window that is exactly the same size, can't be resized and does this in both netscape and internet explorer? I can lock the window off at 800x600 which is the size of my movie, but this is unpredictable because the person viewing it may/maynot have the Address/navigation bars up.

Any advice?

is there an extension for dreamweaver? Where can i get it?

Thanks in advance

Window Size...
OK, here is the deal, I want to post a flash animation on the net but my host requires banners...I found that I can get out of having to have the banners if I link directly to the swf. However, when I do this, the size of the swf is controlled by the size of the browser window, can anyone tell me how to give the window a set size. Im not sure if that is strictly flash actionscripting or some javascript. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Danny

Size A Pop Up Window?
Hi all
I’m launching an swf in a pop up browser with no toolbar etc. the problem that I’m having is that the file path is showing at the top of the browser (the title bar I think), I just want the name – no path. I have also put the swf into a html page and named it – that works fine but it won’t let the swf resize at different screen resolutions.

Any help would be great!
