Hì u all,
I really would like to change/resize the browser dimentions from flash when a object for example is bouncing on it, the problem is that I have no idea how this could work, and what to search...
please help!!!

I think this will work, although I've never used it:

getURL("javascript:window.resizeTo(800,600)");

This should resize the window to 800 x 600.

hì ninjakannon, thanks for repling so fast, do u know also how I could detect the position of where the object is bouncing (because is a random movement).. and say than to the browser to reach that point?

but this script opens a new window with that size.. I need to resize the current window...

Ok, sorry that didn't work. I looked up javascript on google and found a function that resized the window, but obviously not the current one.

Basicaly you can do getURL("javascript:javaFunction()"); in flash, this will call the javascript function in place of 'javaFunction'. I would expect that this is the method that you will have to use; although I do not know what javascript function you will have to use.

And your object, if it is in flash then get its X and Y position using:

_root.bouncingObject._x
_root.bouncingObject._y

Where 'bouncingObject' is, you will need to put the instance name of the bouncing movieClip. The X and Y values are where the movieclip is on the stage.

Hope this helps

thanks, I'll search for the javascript now..

what about the flash.external.ExternalInterface class?
or a javascript funcion that comunicates with the actionscripts??
help please!!!!!
I found nothing..

[ninjakannon]

Sorry, but I'm stuck on this one I've never done it before and I havn't found anything useful.

[saltarello]

here what I have in the flash file:

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.call( "resize", width, height );
prova.onPress = function() {
ismoving();
prova.startDrag();
}
function ismoving (){
width = prova._x;
Stage.width = prova._x;
height = prova._y;
Stage.height = prova._y;
}
var stageL:Object=newObject();
Stage.addListener(stageL);

here the javascript:

<script>
function resize(width, height)
{
window.resizeTo(width,height);
}
-->
</script>

but it doesn't work!!!!!
Anybody there that has an idea of what is wrong or what is missing??
