how do you guys do that by just the url in flash?

thanks,.

If you mean a full window browser screen then I think this can only be done with JavaScript and, afaik, it's not Mac compatible.

If you are talking about a local flash movie on a desktop or something then you can save it as a projector file which I think enables you to open in full screen (using FS Command)...

Hopefully a better flash-bod will step in

Hi guys, I'm learning actionscript and came across the forums (which seem very freindly), so you may have to excuse my inexperience but I have come across a site that uses a full screen window in flash and works on a mac. www.cultureclub.be
I hope that this is helpful.

Always use javascipt in the popup window, don't know of any other way. Any reason you can't do it that way?

the url is read from an xml file. i don't want to change the swf as some links don't want to open full screen.

How can you tell whether the link needs to be opened full screen or not? is that fact passed from the xml too?

If so can't you just mod the swf to target a window open javascript in the html if the case requires or just launch blank (or whatever sized javascript etc. you'd be using) otherwise?

you normally just write your javascript popup:

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function view( img, dimensions ) {
	var inf = '<title>Children Of Ecuador</title><body topmargin=\"0\" leftmargin=\"0\"><img src=\"' + img + '\">';
	win = window.open('', '', dimensions + ',scrollbars=0,resizable=0,toolbars=0' );
	win.document.write("" + inf + "");	
	win.focus();

}
// End -->
</script>

and then you just call it same in Flash as you would through an href tag:

getURL("javascript:view(myXMLVar,'width=370,height =200')");

I think that's what you were asking anyway? That code is for a image-popup thing, but the general idea is the same...

If the xml determines whether it's a popup-or not, you could simply just do a if/else and just have the getURL change depending...

I hope that helps since I didn't quite understand, heh.
