go to:\r\r[pub40.ezboard.com/fkirupa…=131.topic](http://pub40.ezboard.com/fkirupafrm21.showMessage?topicID=131.topic)\r\rbe carefull it’s a tricky little bugger… :lol: \r\ralso something that kirupa doesn’t state is that the javascript that you place on ‘the page’ should be between the \<head\> tags on the page that u r launching the chromless window from…\r\rthis would have thrown me, if i wasn’t already familiar with js\r\rcheers…ben

turn on your HTML (using HTML disables ezcodes, emoticons, and link conversion) thingy at the bottom to read this post…\r\r\rQ. my problem is whether can the borderless window run flash file??? instead of going to a url???\r\rA. u just have to link to the page that holds the .swf… i.e.\r\ron (release) {\rgetURL (“javascript\<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/embarassed.gif ALT=”:o"\> penIT(’\<a href=“[http://www.yourdomain.com/swf\_file.html’,750,300,null,null,‘mywinname01’);");"\>www.yourdomain.com/swf\_fi...me01’](http://www.yourdomain.com/swf_file.html',750,300,null,null,'mywinname01');%22);%22%3Ewww.yourdomain.com/swf_fi...me01'));”);\</a\>\r}\r\r- swf\_file.html is the html page that your flash movies sits in…\r\rQ. n i dun knw hw to create the close\_dwn… etc gif…\r\rA. put all the relevent .gif files in a folder called ‘images’ and if i were u i would type in the full ‘URL’ to that folder… i.e.\r\rvar cD ='[www.yourdomain.com/images…\_down.gif’\rvar cU =’’[url=“http://www.yourdomain.com/images/close\_up.gif’”]www.yourdomain.com/images/close\_up.gif’\rvar cO =’’[url=“http://www.yourdomain.com/images/close\_over.gif’”]www.yourdomain.com/images…\_over.gif’](http://www.yourdomain.com/images/close_down.gif') \r\rthis is part of the javascript that sits between the \<head\> tags in the page that u r launching your chromless window from…\r\rhope this helps???\r\rpost back if not…\r\rcheers…ben…\r\r
