[font=Arial]Is there any way to make a published flash-movie stay on top of other windows?
Alternatively; is it poosible to publish an .exe-file and have that stay on top of all other windows?

-best regards

I assume you’re deploying this flash movie thru an exe file rather than over the web thru a browser (as there is no real way to make sure a browser like IE will stay on top of all other windows). Unfortunatly Macromedia’s projector encoder that comes built right into Flash doesn’t offer very much FSCOMMAND() functionality - as far as modifying the projector window.

To do this, you’re going to have to go 3rd party with a program like SWF Studio (free trial available at http://www.northcode.com/). SWF Studio can take an swf movie and encode it to an EXE just like Flash. However, you can customize everything including the titlebar, window on top, and a whole sleu of other options. So you’re code would like something like this:

_root.onload = function(){
        fscommand('window', 'ontop'); // or something like that
}

I think there may even be a freeware encoder available, I’m just not sure what it’s called or where to find it :slight_smile:
