Hi.  
I tried to use the “launching borderless window” tutorial, and it worked except that the .swf is aligned in the lower right corner and not covering all of the window (as its supposed to). Could anybody tell me what I did wrong?

thanks

[color=White] I used another code now, which is:[/color]

```
[font=Courier New][color=#0000ff]javascript:Launch('skate_team_gold.html') [color=black][color=White]in the .swf

and[/color]  

```

[/color][/color][/font][color=blue]\<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=“JavaScript”\>  
\<!-- Begin  
function Launch(page) {  
OpenWin = this.open(page, “skate\_team\_gold”, “toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=no,re sizable=no,width=650,height=500”);  
}  
// End --\>  
\</SCRIPT\> [color=black][color=White]in the .html[/color]

[color=White] But i still have the same problem, if you wanna see what i mean look at [http://www.a-otaku.dk/wlms/skate\_te…enter\_gold.html](http://www.a-otaku.dk/wlms/skate_team_gold/enter_gold.html) (just press “ENTER THE SITE”).[/color][/color][/color]

It looks fine to me though I’m not sure what it’s supposed to look like, lol.

I’m going to take a stab at it and suggest you change the registration point of your movie clips. In other words, change the location of the clips on your stage. Move everything up and left - see if that helps.

I just want the .swf to fit excactly into the pop-up.

Im pretty sure that wouldn’t work. If you look at the pop-up - Then the black space which is on the top and on the left side loads before the actual .swf, which must mean that the black space is the background that the .html creates.

Can you post your files? If I remember correctly Kirupa mentioned this particular tutorial seemed to struggle with every new release of Flash and/or Flash player. ☹
