full screen pop up win on timer

[interstella]

Hi, just wondering if anyone out there can help me with either action script or html code to get a button in an swf mov which is 650 x 400 to open either another swf file or html page at full screen then close after say 5 seconds returning to the original swf.
any help would b much appreciated.
thanks

You could use Javascript from within Flash to do that (Using Geturl).

Javascript:newwin=window.open("yourpage.html","pag ename","fullscreen=1");void(0);

and then after 5 secs

javascript:newwin.close();void(0);

Most users don't appreciate this kind of thing, but you probably know that.

Put two getURL's in the timeline, about 5 secs apart.

Hey a.i.l
I have it opening up a pop up window. Do you know how to get rid of the scroll bar. I tried "scrollbar=no" but no joy.
thanks again.

Put the following into the BODY tag of the HTML (page being loaded fullscreen)

scroll="no"

Just thought I would let you know,

Checked out your web page. When I clicked to enter two windows opened to the same movie and I get repeated Runtime Errors. It is the same error but pops up multiple times.

Error reads:

Line: 0
Error: 'newwin' is undefined.
Do you wish to debug.

My system:
Win98
IE 5.0
Flash 6 plugin.

I have changed the double window problem, bit of a strange one, Im using the "open browser window" function from dreamweaver. Seems the only command I can use with this is "on roll over", anything else opens two windows. One at the size I want, and one with a fully equipt browser on top of it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
