Is it possible to open up a browser window that is stripped down from a flash projector file off a cd-rom?

And what would "stripped down" mean?? Chromeless or something??

just your typical javascript pop up window, with toolbar, location, status all false, etc....

Hm, dunno actually...

I was thinking of opening a html-page in normal browser using getURL, and that the html-page would open the popup and then close itself [window.close()].

But of course the browser would ask the viewer for permission to close the browser since it's normal browser and not a popup....

So I don't know...

Sorry ;) - Ruben

Is it possible to open up a JS Pop-Up browser window from a Flash Projector file off a CD-ROM?

If not, is there a way to just open a browser window, that launches a pop-up and then close the parent window once the pop up is loaded? I tried the following for that but it doesn't work.

Parent Window Code:

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
var newWin;

function openNewWin() {
newWin = window.open('newWin.html','newWin','width=210,heig ht=240');
}

function closeNewWin() {
if (newWin.location) { newWin.close(); }
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>
</head>

<body onLoad="openNewWin();">

<table BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 WIDTH=400 ALIGN="center">
<tr>
<td><font SIZE="+1"><b>Opening a Pop-Up Window that Closes When Its Parent Document is Unloaded</b></font></td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>



POP UP WINDOW CODE:

<html>
<head>
<title></title>

</head>

<body onload="closeNewWin();">

<table BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 WIDTH=400 ALIGN="center">
<tr>
<td><font SIZE="+1"><b>Opening a Pop-Up Window that Closes When Its Parent Document is Unloaded</b></font></td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

I think that pretty much comes down to my first thought [which wouldn't work]: open a normal browser which would open the popup and then close the normal browser...

But the problem is, when you use "window.close()" on a normal browser the visitor will be asked wether or not they're OK with closing the normal browser...And I don't think that's what you want...

Not sure though...

So I guess you'll have to find another way...Maybe opening a JS-file that would open the popup, if that's possible...I'm not that kind of an expert when it comes down to javascript and stuff...

Anyways, good luck - Ruben

Anyone know if there would be a way to open a regular browser window, and then have it refresh to the appropriate sized window using meta refresh or something that would be quickest?
Ruben

Hm, I could search on my HD for the meta-tag that makes a browser refresh, but I don't know if there's a way to have a browser resize itself...

And if there WOULD be a way, you'd still be stuck with the problem of not having a completely 'stripped down' [:p] browser [popup-style]...

But if you DO want the meta-tag just yell and I'll search my HD...

I'm making some progress and actually thinking it can be done however still need help. Here is my latest. I'm on a mac and i only seem to have control over the toolbar and menubar stuff in Netscape. Anyone have any suggestions how I can get this to work cross platform? I'm also interested in a function that will keep the window centered no matter what resolution monitor is set at.

<html>
<head>
<title>Pop Up Test</title>

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--

function doResize640()

{

window.resizeTo(640, 480);

}

self.menubar.visible=false;
self.toolbar.visible=false;
self.locationbar.visible=false;
self.personalbar.visible=false;
self.scrollbars.visible=true;
self.statusbar.visible=true;

// -->
</script>

</head>

<body onLoad="doResize640();">

</body>
</html>



Here is a function that might center window but I can't figure out how to implement it...


function reallyCenterWindow() {
leftPos = 0
topPos = 0
if (screen) {
leftPos = (screen.width / 2) - 251
topPos = (screen.height / 2) - 162
}
ElementWindow = window.open('Images/WindowElements.gif','ElementWin','width=502,height =325,left='+leftPos+',top='+topPos)
}

Hm, take a look at this thread (http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=29389&highlight=availheight)

There saying something like:

<script language="javascript">
window.moveTo(0,0);
</script>


Take a look at the thread anyways...Might give you some insight regarding what they used this piece of script for...

Tell me if it worked - Ruben

EDIT: You also might wanna check the results on my search (http://www.actionscript.org/forums/search.php3?searchid=12742)...

Why not, I thought you were wondering how you could center the window in one of your previous posts??
