    sizing a flash window

    Does anyone have any idea how to tell the flash to open up only at a specified size? WHen mine opens up on the web it opens full size and you can see the swish dull grey back ground.


    Help please,

    Export to HTML.

    Edit the HTML code from "100%" to a specific pixel number:

    <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
    <center>
    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
    codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash4/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
    id="movie" width="________" height="______">
    <param name="movie" value="movie.swf">
    <param name="quality" value="high">
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
    <embed name="movie" src="movie.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"
    width="_______" height="______"
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
    pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
    </embed>
    </object>
    </center>
    </body>

    Venio provided the code for you, but its important to understand why it works. If you link directly to the .swf movie, it will always fill the browser window. If it's embedded in an html page, as Venio provided for you, you can constrain the size.
    While changing my profile, I accidentally clicked the link that said
    "Add 'Dead Rabbit' to your Ignore List"
    so now I can't talk to myself anymore...

    You dug pretty deep for this thread.

    Why dig it up from the grave?

    If your insearch of a pop-up script
    then that's what you should ask for.
