Modify Macromedia JS to open Flash in max or centered pop up browser window.

[wcjr]

Hello,

I'm very much a novice when it comes to JS. Much to my regret I rely on Macromedia to spew out JS for me. It's with this in mind when I ask the following.

Can the js below be modified to open a browser window in a "maximized" state, or, if not, can I set the w + h and have the pop up window centered? Any advice would be great.

I've tried to toy around with screen.availHeight and screen.availWidth but I must be placing them incorrectly or not adding enough to the script.

Thanks

function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) {
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}

function detectFlash(){

if (navigator.plugins){
if (navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"]
|| navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"]){

var isVersion2 = navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"] ? " 2.0" : "";
var flashDescription = navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash" + isVersion2].description;

var flashVersion = parseInt(flashDescription.charAt(flashDescription.indexOf(".") - 1));

flash2Installed = flashVersion == 2;
flash3Installed = flashVersion == 3;
flash4Installed = flashVersion == 4;
flash5Installed = flashVersion == 5;
flash6Installed = flashVersion == 6;
}
}

for (var i = 2; i <= maxVersion; i++) {
if (eval("flash" + i + "Installed") == true) actualVersion = i;
}
if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("WebTV") != -1) actualVersion = 2;

// uncomment next line to display flash version during testing
//alert("Flash version " + actualVersion + " has been detected!");

if (actualVersion >= requiredVersion) {
hasRightVersion = true;

if (useRedirect) {
MM_openBrWindow('flashpop.html','new','"top=0,left=0,resizable=yes" + ",width=" + screen.width + ",height=" + screen. height,scrollbars=0,menubar=0,toolbar=0,location=0
,status=0');
}
} else {

if (useRedirect) {
if(jsVersion > 1.0) { // need javascript1.1 to do location.replace
alert("This site requires Macromedia Flash Player 5.0 or above.\n Please download the correct version of this plug-in");
MM_openBrWindow('http://www.macromedia.com/software/flashplayer/','new2','');
} else {
alert("This site requires Macromedia Flash Player 5.0 or above.\n Please download the correct version of this plug-in");
MM_openBrWindow('http://www.macromedia.com/software/flashplayer/','new2','');
}
}
}
}

detectFlash();:confused:

Take a look at http://www.infinitypages.com/research/centeredpopup.htm

Actually, you could try changing this part of your code:

MM_openBrWindow('flashpop.html','new','"top=0,left=0,resizable=yes" + ",width=" + screen.width + ",height=" + screen. height,scrollbars=0,menubar=0,toolbar=0,location=0

,status=0');

to this (put it all on one line):

MM_openBrWindow ('flashpop.html','new','top=0,left=0,resizable=yes,width=' + screen.width + ',height=' + screen.height + ',scrollbars=0,menubar=0,toolbar=0,location=0,status=0');

It seems to work now without a problem.

Is there a way to include option to subtract a number of pixel from the maximized window (i.e. minus 10pixels in height and width)?

Thanks for solving my problem.

screen.width - 10 and screen.height - 10 should work.
