The borderless window is no longer supported by IE, and was never supported by Netscape. It has become obsolete ---

Is there a way to do this with an FScommand for a standalone app or in the player? ---

It no longer works in IE 6 SP1. Unless, of course, you like beta versions. One that works with SP1 is still in beta, but hell, it works. 🙂 Check it out. It includes a FLA that shows you how to launch chromeless windows in Flash. ---

Hello, new to the board myself. This is a demo I did awile ago for a client. have a peek… [http://www.flashhut.com/chrome/open.html](http://www.flashhut.com/chrome/open.html) I may have the file kicking around as well. Macronut ---

Still… Chromeless windows do not work in any browser after IE 6 SP1 was released. And it only worked in IE in the first place. So it is pretty much a waste to use chromeless windows now. They are dead. BTW: In SP1 that window comes up as full screen… YUK! ---

Hello, i am not disagreeing on the topic, however it is just an example. Some may like this asthetic others may not. Cheers, Macronut ---

Ok, just letting you know. That example you posted opens in Full Screen for me ☹ Oh well, I was never too fond of Chromeless windows. Sure they are neat looking, but they became overused and unprofessional after a while. Just a trend. ---

Hey I totally agree, I will not use them, unless requested by a client. To trendy for my taste buds. 🙂 Macronut ---

🙂 Yeah, but make sure you explain if a client ever asks that no browser now supports them. Functionality is an important part of a web site. If a site does not function correclty a viewer will not return. And there goes a customer. It is important for your client to know that. Man were they cool when they first came out though… :whistle: Then they popped up everywhere! ---

wierd… the zip I posted works on my SP1 machine… BTW, I agree, they’re annoying, don’t use them until you have to. ---
