    a windowless flash? anyone knows how?

    hi guys, i need to do an index page that when the user clicks on it, a windowless flash appears. does anyone know how to do that?

    a windowless flash, nothing, just the flash. including the unique edges and border of the flash.

    i searched everywhere but can't find a tutorial.

    any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    windowless pages are considered black magic around these parts. move along or some hardcore designer could come and scream

    Dont think its possible online. The projectors from www.northcode.com can make any shape though.

    Transparent Flash movie on a higher division... Check the Flash face here over and under html content...

    Check the html source. Works with IE. Don't know if it works with other browsers and/or on Macs.

    As for transparent movies, check this:

    I don't think that it's what Jennifer was trying to get. If I understood correctly she is trying to make window without borders and with only flash inside, wich is possible, even more it isn't very hard. You just have to use javscript popup to open chrome window and loose your margins (on popup). But i don't know the code right now (basicaly you just have to set full screen and than trick your browser to resize). I will find your code these days, but you could serch some javascript sites yourself and find "chrome window". I must warn you that it is working only on Internet explorer.

    Do you see any borders on my Flash face movie?

    Chromeless windows only work on IE.

    you can use a chromeless and remove all the edges. You won't be able to move it anywhere though.

    If someone tells you it can't be done,
    it's probally because they don't know how.

    I won't post more code here. Download zip and inside is html file that lounches chrome window. Change "Blabla.html" with url you want to put in chromeless window.
    And you CAN move it, just some simple javascript. You can move it even from flash movie inside chrome window.
