    I was just wonering what kind of programing or special factors you need your web host to support with a chromeless window. I've tried several different host and none of them seam to work with it. If you know of any could you please help me out. Thanks, oh yeah and if you know of any free ones those are better, thanks.

    If you are using the chromeless window from http://www.microbians.com/ then all you should need is a server that handles javascript. My website is at brinkster.com and I use chromeless windows without a bit of trouble. So try using brinkster, if that doesn't work, e-mail me and I'll look over your code.

    chromeless window means basicly modified borders or no borders at all in browser window.. This trick works only in IE5+ browsers.. shame though

    Dont you work ??

    Thanks for your reply I was just looking for a tutorial on how to do exactly that,best I've found so far is Easy Popup Windows by Phil Shevlin (full screen popup)problem is I dont want a popup window I want my movie to load full screen same as his popup window.

    You must spend about as much time on the net as me,sleep interrupts every couple of days.

    well yeah I spent time on the net a lot.. And yeah sleeping makes everything so messy. No clear thoughts at that time hehe..

    Which programs you use for doing HTML?
    Just thought about it.. But if you want a good code for the window I can give you one good javascript which I use when I do the chromeless trick.. interested?

    Sleep sure gets in the way of a good day.

    I've got DreamWeaver but I'm just doing my HTML in note pad,you dont have to tell me I like doing things the hard way (I like writing my own code I learn more,must admit not looking forward to learning MySQL next ) I'm teaching myself everything and dont have anyone over here I can call in on for help and what I'm working on in Flash is not going on the net.If you have something for full window I would really appreciate it,I already copied your HTML from the last file you sent,it worked great ! ,I dont want any scroll bars as my program runs inside an interface.

    Still got my email ?

    Thanks for all your help today.

    Guess I should explain.
    I haven't finished my program and haven't published it yet,but as it looks like Flash wont give me what I'm looking for (full window) then I don't see much point in not doing the HTML myself as I'm going to have to adjust it anyway,anything wrong with this theory ?
    You dont know where I can get something to edit my sound file do you (before I import them to Flash)
    Looking forward to your code.
    Have a good day

    yeah you can use mp3's with flash 5..
    to get some software for doing that.. hmm that's a harder one.

    I use myslef the Sound Forge / Acid / Reason to edit sounds or make the sounds..
