Hi everyone, just wondering how I would go about making an animation that would play with out a window/border? I know this has been covered with the [Chromeless pop-up window tutorial](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/chromeless.htm), but I was wondering if it is possible to do it with an .swf file so that you can play it on the desktop and not use a internet explorer(namely I.E) E.g. click a icon on the desktop and it opens a swf file in a window with no border or menu and preferably no background. Anyhow anyhelp to this little problem would be appreciated greatly.

Thanks in advance. Legion.:kommie:
