I’m trying to do something that is probably simple for most…but for some reason I just can’t get it done.
I’d like to open a borderless window in flash but can’t seem to find a way to control the window size or borders in the new window.
I’ve tried using some of the javascript from Flash 5 (tutorials located on this site) but haven’t had any luck.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Christian Williams

An entire site for chromeless windows…That’s fantastic!!
You may also want to try (but not need to after Claudio’s post)

They have 3 or 4 javascript ones that could be launced from Flash.

Well, apparently i’m a fool. I still cant’ get any of this stuff to work. Is the problem perhaps that I’m using Netscape 7 as my browser?

That depends on the script you use. At [dynamicdrive.com](http://dynamicdrive.com), they’ve got a bunch of chromeless windows, but not all of them are cross-browser. next to the name it will say All, or IE, or NS6; you should use one that says All.
I would definately suggest, if you are using these, to get it to work from an HTML page, then add in your Flash movie that calls the javascript from getURL.

Freddythunder,
Thanks for that simple idea of building the page in HTML first. I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it. I was building the pop-up windows in Flash right from the start.

Chromeless windows don’t work in IE6!

Xtian - That’s how I do all my HTML/PHP related stuff, that way it’s easier to figure out where bugs are. (-:
DP - What chromless windows don’t? I’ve never had a problem (but I’ve only used the ones from dynamicdrive) I have, however had problems with NS (CSS too!!)
