I am trying to open a flash movie that is published as a html page. I can use javascript to open the flash movie in a new browser window with no tool bars showing in the new browser. My problem is now I have two browser windows open.

I would like to open the flash html page without opening a new window but with no toolbars or menu showing in the browser. Does anyone know if and how this can be done.

Thanks

If you are calling the flash movie from a regular browser window. There is no way to transform the already open browser window.

Thanks. That’s what I needed to know. Now I will concentrate on closing the first browser after the flash movie is loaded into the new browser that has no toolbars.

Thanks again for the quick reply.

you can only close a browser window **you** ] opened with javascript. if you try to close the first browser window it will prompt the user whether they really want to do this
