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.

Flash Movie Size In Browser Window
When i designed my first flash website, i did it without changing the default width and height size of 550 by 400. Is there any way to make my movie bigger without having to re-design the whole thing? Say 640x480, or even bigger? Thanks, Matt

Display Browser Window Within Flash Movie
I'd like to be able to display a browser window within a flash movie I'm creating. Effectively, Flash would just be the skin, and the browser would show up in a box in the middle.
Is there any way to do this without simply extracting the text, and hoping the html text within the page displays okay from the text box?

Center Flash Movie In Browser Window
This is probably simple, but does anyone know how to center my Flash site in the browser window as opposed to having it flush left? Also, how do I get the movie to appear a little further down in the window as opposed to near the top. Thanks for the help.

How To Center A Flash Movie In The Browser Window
I published a flash file with html from Flash MX but the movie plays in the top left corner of the browser window no matter what I specify in the publish settings. I pasted the html code below and can someone tell me exactly what to add where or change in order to have it play in the center vertically and horizontally.
Thanks to all that help and read this.

Embeded Flash Movie In Browser Window
This may be more of an html question but I'm not sure. I have a flash movie on a web page with a link that loads another flash movie in a seperate window. I need the dimensions of the window to be locked, and with no menus.
Is there a way to do this in flash? I've tried html, but I don't have the code right. Does anyone have a similar page I could use to copy the source code?
Thanks

How To Make A Flash Movie Fit A Browser Window?
Hi,
I wonder if it's possible to do a dynamic flash movie which is fitting the browser window, so which could be adaptative depending on the user resolution....
I know about the Stage object which works perfectly in the flashplayer. But not in a browser...since the flashmovie should be "scaled" regarding to the browser window size (I mean make it larger and higher, but not scaling the content, as when you change the resolution of your flash movie in the authoring environment).
Is it php or javascript behind this?
Thank you in advance for you help!
Best regards.

Opening Flash Movie In Browser Window Fundamentals
Hi there
OK - This is probably very basic but I cant seem to work it out.
I have created a flash movie (800 by 600) and I want to offer the user 2 options.
1. Launch Maximised (With Only the browser bar with exit, maximise and minimise buttons)
2. Launch at 800 by 600 (With Only the browser bar with exit, maximise and minimise buttons)
For both I want the flash movie to fit snug against browser window edges i.e no white gaps
Can anyone suggest how to accomplish this - I am getting very close but keep getting gaps or the aspect ratio messsing up.
Thanks in advance
Chucky

Fit Flash Movie Into Any Size Browser Window, Without Scaling?
Hey everyone.
Just wanted to know how to code a flash/ or HTML document so that the flash movies fits the entire browser space on any size monitor, but doesn't scale the flash movie up or down?
Just to give you an idea. YOu know when you place stuff outside of the flash stage, and when you publish the movie you can stretch the window and see the stuff you left on the stage? Basically I want the flash stage to fit the entire browser window and not have horizontal or vertical scrolling.
Sorry if this is hard to visualize, but I would greatly appricate anyones help.
Thanks!

Flash Coordinates And Centering Movie Elements Within A Browser Window
Let's say you have a Flash movie containing a button, and that said movie is taller and/or wider than a given browser window. Is it possible to fix the button's position relative to the top/bottom/sides of the browser window, such that the button appears to remain stationary even if the browser window is resized or scrolled up/down or side to side?
Understand, it's not the Flash movie itself that I'm trying to center within the browser window, insted its the button within the Flash movie that I want to remain fixed relitive to the browser window.
Specificly, what I'm trying to do is the following: I have an web page that consists exclusively of a large (1687 px wide by 1698 px high) .swf movie, that is to say, its the WHOLE page and not just an element (such as a menu) added to an otherwise normal html scriped web page. Within that Flash .swf movie I have a number of pictures coverted to button symbols and set up so that when you mouse-over them a little animated "info box" movie-thing opens up to display information about that perticular picture. The problem is, if the box's position within the Flash movie is fixed then it is possible for the browser window to be scrolled far enough in one direction or another that when the user mouses over the picture part or all of the info box is off the screen. I don't want this to happen. What I want is for the info box to appear in the relitive center of the browser window no matter where you scroll the rest of the flash movie (up/down or sideways) within that browser window. You see what I mean? I don't know if this is possible to do that, but that's what I'm trying to do.
You'll have to forgive me, but my Flash scripting experience is somewhat limited. That's not to say I'm a total novice, but there are simply parts of the language that I have, thusfar, not had cause to use, and therefore, have never learned. The syntax for defining x and y coordinates is one of those. That said, I am familiar enough with the basic concept to know that the solution to my problem would lie in finding the absolute minimum and maximum hight and width coordinates for the browser window, then using those to determine the center coodinate for the window. The affore mentioned "info box" would then be centered over that point. This would be true as long as the max x and max y of the browser window did not exceed the max x and max y of the the Flash movie. Once this happened the box should simply remain centered in the movie rather than the browser window.
The problem is, I have NO idea how to do this in terms of the actual scripting of it. I have no idea how to determine from within the Flash movie the hight or width of the movie itself, let alone the hight or width of a browser window. Could someone please, in specific terms, explain to me how you might acomplish this. Sample code would be extremely helpful.
Thanks in advance,
The Raven

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

Movie Position Related With Size Of Browser Window - Flash Interaction 02
ok,
there are a couple of things of flash, that i was unnable to solve from a long time up to now.
and everitime i look on related post of these topics, there are always with 0 answers.
so, i will place here a couple of posts, one with each problem i want to resolve,
i really prefer to use as much flash as i can before i like it much more than any other software, but i believe we will all agreed that it has some weak points.
so basically this post is related on how we can interact flash to other web design software
Here is problem 2:
our flash movies, at least mines,
that i design everithing in flash,
ther are located in a special place of the browser window
here, the flash movie its centered in the browser window,
and when i resize the BW,
it stays centered unless the BW its smaller than the movie
i will like to know how is this done,
i mean,
its flash with another software working together ?
its everithig designed with something else and the flash movies are just accesories ??
or is full designed in flash in a way i still dont get it ???
becouse i've alrready tried a lot of things without any luck
could any of you give me a hand with this ??
pd: i will also post another topic related to this, and this example but, not about the BW it will be about the text and the search engines. so we can discuss these topics separately
thanks in advance

Flash Movie Scaled To Fit Browser Window - Prints Stretched In Explorer PC
Hello,
Has anyone noticed this problem before?
I have a clients' Flash website (500 x 800 pixels) scaled to fit the browser window (width 100%, height 100%) - works fine, looks great.
The problem is printing the page in Explorer on a PC. The page is printed scaled / vertically skewed.
Prints fine in Netscape (PC/MAC) and Explorer (Mac).
I have tried selecting the "scale" options (exact fit, no borders, default) - no difference.
Appreciate your help. Thanks!

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!

Shrink Browser Window To Fit Movie
I have a movie say 600 x 600...When it displays in a browser I see background on the sides.
Is there a way to make the browser window the exact same size as my movie so you only see the movie in the browser window? ...No Netscape menu/toolbar...nothing but the movie.
I have seen it done, but do not know how to do it...

Movie Scales With Browser Window?
hi
can anyone shed light on this one?
can I have a movie that scales with the browser window so that when the viewer resizes their browser window the swf always fills the display?
The idea is that the _level0 movie is a background colour ( a single fill movieclip ) which then I can change the colour of from other _levelx movies.
hope this makes sense!
cheers!

New Browser Window From Movie Clip?
I have just read through Kirupas tutorials regarding opening a customisable/chromeless window from flash.....which are great and I have used them many times in the past, however I am not sure how to deal with my current problem.
I need to open a customised browser window from a loaded movie clip within my main movie but have not got a clue how to do it? or if it is possible.
Obviously it is futile to change the HTML code on the movie clips original HTML page as it is not even uploaded to the site.
Anyone have any ideas?
If you want to see where my problem originates the link is at the bottom of the page.
When you are in the site click the ' web designs link '.
The buttons give normal links to the respective sites but they look scrappy and I would prefer controlling the view from the original web page.
Cheers in advance to the Wizzkids out there who like helping geriatrics like me :-)m660
