Hi everyone. Firstly, I want my .swf file to start off automatically as a maximised window (its not doin now) could anyone tell me how to do this? Secondly, I want to turn my program into an .exe but everytime I do it I need to load up my .swf file through the .exe. I just want it to start as an .exe, can anyone help please? Thanks :p: ---

Ok, I’ve published my program as an .exe but when I run it all I get is a white screen. I have to go to open then type in the URL of my file. What I want is just to have it open like a .swf file does but as an .exe ---

It worked. Thanks very much for your help. Its just with my other question, My screen size is 800x600, and I want it to start directly in the middle of the screen because when I start it, it starts off to the side and down a bit and I have to keep dragging it to where I want it. Is there anyway I could start it of so that is exactly in the middle of the screen? ---

So? Your thread is the 1st one up, it’s 9 in the morning in the US so most pple still waking up…give it some time… 😉 If you have a working swf file, open it (with the Flash player which gets installed with Flash), then in file menu, click “create projector”…of course, the fullscreen has to be in there already, so to get out of fullscreen, hit ESC key… what’s the exact pb? ---
