Hi,

I have a simple problem, but dont know ho to solve it. Please help!

I have made a site in flash which i want to put on the CD! I have no problem with flash, but with the flash player detection. I've been to macromedia site, aquired licence for player distribution,...

Problem:
I dont know which program to use in order to make the welcome screen, which will ask the user to install the player if he/she doesn't have it. I was thinking to do it in HTML but I dont know how to make it full screen.

If you are familiar with this topic please help.

Thanks

function fullScreen(theURL) {
window.open(theURL, '', 'fullscreen=yes, scrollbars=auto');
}

Hmm,

I've put the command inside javascript, but when I open it, it opens the normal window. Am I doing something wrong? Please advice because I am not familiar with HTML.

Thanks

Why mess with the Player if you are making a CD?
Publish your site as a projector and put that on the CD. A projector will run without a browser installed let alone the Flash Player. Use the fscommand to have it go full screen.

I've already tried that, but my version of Director is "not for commercial use" so every time I start projector - he kicks me out :)

Projector is in Director. Lets you make exe file, which can be opened without any player.

One of the export options in director - is to export the movie as a projector file. This file is .exe which means it can be played without any player (shockwave or flash)! It can be easily connected with flash file.

I dont see what this has to do with this forum though. If you are using a trial version of flash you can still publish in exe.
