run flash player

[Aceman]

I created a Flash website.
Now I have published it and it created an index.html & index.swf.
I look at the index.swf and love the way it works 700x500 flash player and all.
When set up within the website host, it runs automatically the index.html.

Is there a way to have it NOT run the index.html and/or load the index.swf in a Flash media player ONLY?

basically when someone types in my website, i would like for it to open the Flash Player and have it run my .swf at that point (just as though i double clicked the index.swf on my computer)?

no clue how to help you, but it seems interesting. Don't think it can be done but when you get it running(if on webpage or flash player like u want) send me a PM and tell me the address.

*waits for the buffer to catch up with him due to downloading massive things off bearshare and listening to music at the same time and typing extremely fast*

Aceman, not many people have the stand-alone FlashPlayer. When someone views a website requiring the FlashPlayer, they are prompted to download the browser version. Most people only have the ActiveX/Plug-in FlashPlayer in their browser.

There is a solution to your problem, though.

What you need to do is make a copy of index.html and call it something else (e.g. flashpage.html). You may have to adjust the topmargin and leftmargin in the body tag to 0 if you want the flash tight to the edges. Then change the original index.html so that it just has a simple splashscreen or something (doesn't need to have any flash) that launches a pop-up window when it opens using a window_onload javascript function containing a command like

popUpWin('flashpage.html', 700, 500);

Actually, you'll probably need to use a number larger than 500 for the height to compensate for the typical browser menu, buttons, address bar).
