Chromeless and swf's

[Ryukuchan]

I downloaded ByKlein Chromeless Windows 2.0 beta because the older version of chromeless was not compatible with IEsp1 .
I want to simply put the flash file "index.swf" inside the chromeless page so it fits nice (Like in the older version) But I have found that it won't display flash files directly.
I know they work inside of html files. But I have so many flash files, as well as links to other flash files that would be a major pain. And I have set up my site to avoid using a ton of html files.
If I can directly link to an swf file am I going to have to fix all the links (which are inside the flash files) to other flash files? Cause right now they are just something like "bob.swf" which worked with the old version of chromeless and would just replace the current flash file with the linked one.
Help.

is it just me or does no one have a clue what hes on by ByKlein Chromeless Windows 2.0

1) this is a flash question
2) what is ByKlein Chromeless Windows 2.0?

swf is flash. Chromeless is javascript. (Borderless popup windows) They make a really nice looking floating page...but im having trouble directing displaying swf within them. which has to do with chromeless

You need an index.html that popsup the first chromeless window fullscreen (1024 x 768) or (600 x 800)

then in thet window you have a flash movie.
that movie links to another movie, in the same popup it loads.

Are you saying it loads elsewhere, what is the problem? :confused:

Im trying to et chromeless windows working from a launc link. I have set windowmode to transparent and this still doesnt work in FF and IE7.

It opens the window but with chrome.
thanks
this is the js
<script type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ByKlein_chromeless2.0.js"></script>
<script>
function openIT(x, y, theURL) {
// x: the width of the window
// y: the height of the window
// theURL: the page to open
wname ="CHROMELESSWIN"
/*windowCERRARa = "close_a.gif"
windowCERRARd = "close_d.gif"
windowCERRARo = "close_o.gif"
windowNONEgrf = "none.gif"
windowCLOCK = "clock.gif"
windowREALtit = " ? Task title"
windowTIT = "<font face=verdana size=1> your chromless</font>"
windowBORDERCOLOR = "#000000"
windowBORDERCOLORsel = "#000000"
windowTITBGCOLOR = "#FF0033"
windowTITBGCOLORsel = "#FF0033"*/
MM_openBrWindow(theURL, wname, x, y, windowCERRARa, windowCERRARd, windowCERRARo, windowNONEgrf, windowCLOCK, windowTIT, windowREALtit , windowBORDERCOLOR, windowBORDERCOLORsel, windowTITBGCOLOR, windowTITBGCOLORsel)
}
</script>


and to run the function
<a href="#" onclick="openIT(400, 500, 'nct_ms_game_01build01.html')">launch</a>

please anyone new browsers driving me insane, this is the initial problem before I even look at popups.

You can only turn off the browser window chrome if you configure the browser to allow it. Most browsers these days don't allow it as it creates too big a security hole for spoofing web sites to empty all your bank accounts, steal your identity, install billions of viruses on your computer, etc etc etc.

I started to realise this later on and am now looking at ovelaying in the hosting page in a div which will be displayed or not on a js link.
