Flash Player v Internet Browser Window

[tg_phil]

Greets folks, I'm new here, so please be kind :)

Anyway, the question is - is it possible to put a bit of ActionScript in your swf file or html so that when an swf file is opened from the internet, it will actually use the -Flash player- as opposed to the internet browser?

My reason for asking is because the fscommand fullscreen doesn't seem to work when the swf file is loaded via the browser - but works fine using the Player.

Not sure if this is a newbie q or not - but I couldn't find tutorials or postings on this topic anywhere. Any help (answers or "check this link, dweeb") would be appreciated.

far as i know, you cant have the browser launch the flash player 'outside' the browser window.
however, you could try creating a popup window - non resizable with no scrollers, and resize it to the dimensions of the screen. not real easy to do, but possible.
see this (http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials/beginner/spawn_browser/index.shtml) tutorial to get ya started. then go on to some of the others that deal with the browser.
if ya get stuck, post somemore questions.
good luck.

Okay, thanks for your help. Thats pretty much what my prof
told me, but I'm mule-headed when I get a idea in my head!
