View Full Version : Beautiful PopUp Window. How is it done???

I'm a bit new to Flash, and wanted to do a pop-up window like the one shown at this site:

http://www.workstation-uk.com/

I've searched everywhere for a tutorial, but no luck.

It appears to be similar to a 'chromeless window' - which I've been able to do thanks to a tutorial on this site - but isn't quite the same effect. This window seems to open fully in any browser, and always be sized correctly. Also, the Windows minimize and close buttons still show at the top. I've got a sneaking suspicion that maybe this IS a chromeless window, but with different variable settings. I lack the knowledge to know for sure.

Any help would be much appreciated!

It's just a fullscreen popup, not chromeless...

oldnewbie, thanks very much for that link. After a bit of trial and error, I was able to get the feature to work (actually used the 'html' function instructions instead of flash.

Here's my bit of code:
<a href="javascript:NewWindow=window.open('webPage.html','n ewWin','width='+screen.availWidth+',height='+scree n.availHeight+',left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=N o,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen= No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);">This is the Link</a>

Now if I can just figure out how to replace the text link with a jpg image link (such as they use at the site I referred to), I'll be golden.

Just want to also add a note of thanks to your many replies and contributions on this site. I've enjoyed learning from your posts.
