Hey.

Hey do u do some action script to be able to click a button and then for it to load a \*.mov movie thats in the same folder as the swf,so that it runs in its own standalone player nothing about embedding it. Iv tried getURL(""); but this dont work, it just loads up a browser window!

Also i have used some fscommands to make the swf go full screen. When it loads up in the browser is stays the set size in the browser, can i use the same technnique as above to open the swf so that it runs full size
