I know this is a bit of a long shot, but I need a direction to go in.
I want to be able to dynamically resize a Flash movie window. Let’s say the main Flash movie is 500x500, but is dynamically able to increase to 700x500. The additional 200 pixels of width would appear on the right side of the original 500x500. The additional width could simply be part of the Flash movie that is set off the stage, but perhaps using Javascript and CSS, the object/embed window could be widened.
A little background…
I have a multiplayer Flash game with built-in chat. For some players, chat is the main reason they play the game. The problem is, the chat window is only about 8 lines tall. I would like to have a button to make the chat taller. I envision a button that will cause the Flash movie window to WIDEN, showing a full-height chat window to the right of the
main game. The chat window would ideally reside in the same Flash movie, but I could perhaps create a second Flash movie that is just the full-height chat window, and then using ExternalInterface, tell it what the new chat messages are. The existence of the full-height chat window could be toggled on and off… and of course it needs to work in both major browsers.
Any suggestions?
THANKS VERY MUCH!
