Hy
I'm working with Flash MX and use a pop up to show the main movie. therefore I use the code:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:window.open('vnbflash.html','','width=5 60.65, height=356.05, left=250, top=200');window.location.href='javascript:;';");
}
it works..but..the content is never as big as the window..there is a black frame around it. i've tried publishing 100% and also in pixle size but there is always this frame visible. If you wana see: www.vnb.ch (flash)

and there is a second problem as well: my preloader gets visible only after about 50% of the movie has been loaded..any idea why?
thanks a lot for your help!!
cheers

Your problem may lie in the html of your popup window. Set the margins in your html page for the popup content to 0.

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

When I looked at your site, I got the preloader at 68% and then it disappeared. I know this is because I have a very fast connection, so your site loaded before the preloader coud finish playing. If your site is quite small in size, this may be the reason. You might also want to look at where your preloader is positioned. Is it in a layer in the same frame number as your content (like the first frame of the movie)? I had the fleeting impression that your content started playing behind the preloader. If your movie is loading bottom up then it will start loading the content in any layers under your preloader before it starts working on your preloader. Hope this helps.

thanks a lot for your answer!
indeed the movie is not very big, but i still wanted to use the preloader, as i personnally don't have a very fast connection..
I have changed the publish-feature from bottom up to top down. but the preloader still only shows at over 50%.
the preloader is in scene 1, frames 1&2, the whole rest of the movie in scene 2. what does the frame number have to do with it?

Like I said, I only saw your preloader very briefly and had the impression that it was loading in front as your content was playing behind, so I thought maybe they were in the same frame and scene. Must have been an optical illusion due to the fast connection. Why don't you use the bandwidth profiler set at a really slow connection speed to test and see if this is a problem with your preloader or just a connection artefact?

if I might add...i didn't get the preloader..i guess the site is small in size...
