Hiding the Main Menu Bar & Exiting from a Flash Movie created with Flash 8?

[indiansoil]

Hi!

How can we hide the Main Menu Bar and Control Box (Minimize, Maximize & Close Buttons) of a Flash Movie when we create a Projector (.exe file) out of a .swf file or from the source document .fla and hide them in the .swf file too so that only our movie or application is visible and the Flash Menu Bar, which has the buttons File, View, Control & Help, as well as the Control Box is hidden?


Thanks in advance! :)

Good luck to you all!

Well, I have got the solution. The following statement will hide the menu bar in the .swf. and .exe (projector) files:


Stage.showMenu = false;



And the following statement will switch the window to full-screen and thereby hiding the control box.


fscommand("fullscreen", true);



But can we hide the Control Box which has the bottons: Minimize, Maximize & Close witout turning to full-screen:confused:

How can we hide the Control Box which has the bottons: Minimize, Maximize & Close without turning our flash movie (.swf & .exe - projector) to full-screen:confused:

For example, I have made a flash movie of the size 200px X 400px and want to hide the Buttons: Minimize/Restore, Maximize & Close without turning it to full-screen...:confused:

Howdy and Welcome... :)

You can only do that if you are using third party projector tools such as mProjector, Zinc, SWF Studio or Screenweaver... Flash alone cannot do that...

Another way to hide the minimize, maximize and close buttons (and also, if you want, to modify/remove others menus, dialog windows etc.), but only applicable at a projector file, is to use a resource editor program, also called ‘hacking’ program. With such programs (for example: ‘XN Resource Editor’, ‘Resource Hacker’), you can usually ‘hack’ Win32 PE files (modules); that is why you will be able to edit only the projector file.
