window of (or for) what? If it is just a new full screen flash movie then that is quite simple, just create your new movie to the full=screen dimensions (or if you were hoping to cater for many users, have the original movie test (or ask) what resolution the user is using then create several movies [or scale the one] to suit). Then simply add the directry of the fullscreen movie to the button in the original movie. It really does depend on what you are needing a fullscreen window for though. If you are running the movie from projector (and thus it is an exe) you could simply make the exe run fulscreen and thus anything opened within itself would contain itself by the same boundaries...
Anyway, please say what you want to use it for and such and then I should be able to answert it!
cheers

hi, thanks for your reply.
this problem is giving me headaches.

i need to have my flash.exe load another flash movie fullscreen, but the second movie has to be in explorer. it has to be in explorer because i need to request information off a secure server (https

which projector won't let you do, unless you have a work around for that too!!

it doesn't matter if the new window is kiosk mode or simply just bigger than the screen, so long as it full screen?

cheers captin!

Hello. I am looking for help and found some dialog but never a solution. I am having the same issue. I have an cd-rom based flash presentation, but I would like to have an external pop up window for those who have access to the web. I am using flash MX and My code is below. It pops up the window, but not the right size. I want it small. Can anyone help? Do I have my java and script correct?

Thanks in advance.

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("main2", "menu");
stopAllSounds();
getURL("http://www.ichp.edu/cdrom/default.htm", "_parent");
window.open('default.htm','windowname','width=640, height=480,resizable=no,scrollbars=no,top='+((scre en.availHeight/2)-(480/2))+',left='+((screen.availWidth/2)-(640/2))+'')
}

hi,
what you need to do is launch your window as normal, no properties. then in the HTML body tag have an on load command to change the size of your window.

<BODY bgcolor="#6297AB" onload=javascript:moveTo(100,100);resizeTo(500,500 ); scroll='no'>

though haven't tested this on all browsers =)
