Coding For Maximing the IE Window or "full-screen"

[TRJNET]

Im sure most of you guys add this coding to flash sites on a regular basis. Im using purely movieclips with this movie, so i need to put the coding on the first-frame of the movie, any suggestions ? Someone suggested javascript, but i couldnt find the coding for that, any suggestions would be great !

I want to make it so that after u click "ENTER" on the splash entrance page, first thing you'll notice happen is the window maxizing & the flash movie starting.

Here's an example of what Im talking about, Macromedia's site of the day: (french ad agnecy) http://www.fb.se/eng

True you dont need full screen!

i would like to know how the fullscreen thing is done .. it is a valid question that deserves a valid answer .. so or you answer or you just don't tell the guy what the hell does he want .. he's sure about what he wants ..

Ok! This is all assuming the user's browsing window is not already "fullscreen", otherwise there's no sense in pushing it "fullscreen".

Open a new browser window, resize it so that it's somewhat smaller than your whole screen, and close it.

First check this standard link...

http://odin.prohosting.com/~oldnew/myjellyfish.html

It should open in a new browser window of the same size than the window you had just opened, resized and closed.
Close it.

Now check this link, this will force the window to go fullscreen upon opening it.

http://odin.prohosting.com/~oldnew/fullexisting.html

The javascript code is contained in the html between the Head and /Head tags. View the source page to examine it. Now this just resizes the existing window with whatever features the user has set his browsing window.

When done viewing, resize this window to be smaller again than the whole screen, and close it.

Last try this next link, which opens a "naked" fullscreen popup similar to TRJNET's link.

http://odin.prohosting.com/~oldnew/fullpopup.html

The only way to alter the features of a browser window is to open a new popup with only the desired features. You cannot alter most features of an existing window, it can only be done when opening a new popup.
Close this fullscreen popup, and view source on the other opened main window behind. Again the code to open this fullscreen popup can be found between the head & /head tags.

Hope this is somewhat all clear!

thnx oldnewbie !!!!

In fact just noticed that the window title is incorrect on the full popup... Will correct it tomorrow, by adding an extra html.

[oldnewbie]

Just corrected it! Titles are now the right ones!

And heres another one for you all.

The zip file containts all u need to create a normal popup, fullscreen popup and a popup that is fullscreen BUT wont take over everything because it detects the users screen size and also leave space for the taskbar on there computer so u dont take it away from them.
