FLASH - set window size, surpress toolbar, menubar, and scrollbar

[Larry Minutella]

I have created a link in a FLASH document. I need to set the parameters for the link so that:

1. the window opens to a specific size
2. the toolbar, menubar, and scrollbar are surpressed.

Thanks!

Something along these line will work


1. use geturl function and call javascript from flash which will open new window. Like as:

geturl("javascript:openNewWindow('cat_enquiry.asp','thewin',
'height=400,width=400,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes')")
2. Define function in the JavaScript code area which will open the window.

<script language="JavaScript">
function openNewWindow(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures) {
newWindow=window.open(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures); }
</script>

In the FLASH interface wizzard I added this code:

javascriptpenNewWindow('projects_qvs.htm','untitled','height=400,width=400,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no' )

In the HTM page that houses the FLASH swf file I place this code after </head>.

<script language="JavaScript">
function openNewWindow(projects_qvs.htm, untitled, 'height=400,width=400,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no) {
newWindow=window.open(projects_qvs.htm, untitled, height=400,width=400,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no); }
</script>

The result is a blank browser window with the code in the address bar?????

The same result happens except the browser window is white - with no error message.

Should I send over the FLASH and HTM files?

This is the script I use for my flash sites;

Well you should follow the tutorial in falsh how to create a button...because the code snippet I posted above does work.
I have used it for few yrs...

This is not a place for a full fledge tutorial on how to create motion or add events to a button in flash.
