Full screen pop up.....that is centered....all browsers.

[dtrace]

Here is the deal.

I would like to create a flash popup that creates a browser window that goes fullscreen. Not the fullscreen that takes over the whole screen, and you need to esc to get out. But fullscreen so in a window that has no toolbars, search bar, etc.

That's the first challenge. Within that window, I have a flash file that is 1100 x 700. I would like to have that swf centered both vertically and horizontally. I would also like to have the background of that file extend to all sides....so that I can change the color of the background. To accomplish this I used this link and modified the file that came with it...

The problems that i have run into are the following... I thought I had it working with this...

It was working on Internet explorer....automatically launching a full screen pop up. But it doesn't even work on safari or firefox. I was using a code that I got from some pop up java code generator.

Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do? I've been wrestling with this for so long. I want it to just go away. If you could impart your wisdom on me, and or post an fla, or html file....that would be amazing.

Thanks.

Did you have a look at THIS (http://ferlan.110mb.com/Flash/leereedy.html), when I posted it in your other thread...

Can you provide your Splash.fla?

[dtrace]

yeah, here it is./ Works on safari, but not on firefox.

let me know what you think....

If you provided the actual files, rather than modified mockup ones, it could save me some time!

This works for me (until the end of the intro at least...), both on FF, and on IE...
Again, it even takes care of the EOLAS (click to activate...) problem on IE.

Thanks for the help.

Is there anyway you could send me those files...

I'm at flashtrace@hotmail.com

One thing...the light grey background within the flash file...is extended beyond the stage in hopes that it would extend to the edge of the browser....

sort of like this tutorial...http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/fullscreen.htm

But in your link it's not doing that. Is that possible?

You are really helping me out and I appreciate it.

I'd need access to your myfile.fla & maybe work2.fla... And the actual .flas you're using, not mockup different ones...

2/3 the way down, Atomic sent me a link, that says 'HERE".....to create a centered full screen flash pop up that works on all browsers and fixes the 'click to activate' bug.

But I can't recreate it?

Can someone help me?

atomic,

this thing has been a thorn in my side. I just can't figure it out.

If you could send me those files...i'd be very grateful.

thanks

I think he is using a javascript file....but I can't figure out the code to launch the pop up...and utilize that java.

thanks.
