how!!???? did they do it!!?????
wonder if anyone can give an answer..
(i mean swf that opens without browser??)
I.

That was beauitful.

that site is very cool

figures now that is playing without browser only on IE (because of activeX)... netscape wouldn't do it......

all i can sya is wow... yeah, how do you do that with the browser?

Wow! It's awesome. Oh yea, it's working on netscape too but with border (no border on internet explorer which is more coolest). I guess we have to find out how actionscipt make window moves... Soo Cool!

sure not actionscript does it.. some java and javascript envolved my guess
I.

Well I looked at all of the source and most of it isn't Flash at all but some pretty complex javascripting. There is Flash layered in there, like the individual nodes (the LED clock, for instance), but all of the background and even the motion of the microbe menu is scripted right in code. Extremely cool, but I wonder why, since you could do this all in Flash without risk of incompatibilities. Oh well to each their own.

As for opening the file without a browser window... that's not exactly what's going on. Whoever did this was pretty clever, and told the browser window to go fullscreen. But then he ALSO used a script to set a specific size. So the borders, etc. all disappear but it's not actually fullscreen, although technically it thinks it is. You want any more than that, figure it out yourself. :)

Maybe I'm on at peak hours, but it was sooo slow on my cable modem. Great design, though.

Certainly a different experience

Well, looked so cool I had to figure out how to do it!!! I'll have a tutorial done on it sometime next week i hope.

Just so you know, that site doesn't use flash.

wait, i take that back...

easy everyone...don't youa ll have programmes' minds? take a look.

the window opens fullscreen..
function BrowserCheck() {
var b = navigator.appName
---browser typw
if (b=="Netscape") this.b = "ns"
---browser identification
else if (b=="Microsoft Internet Explorer") this.b = "ie"
---if identification value equas to IE then it's ie
else this.b = b
---if any other browser's there, it's there
this.version = navigator.appVersion
---variable this.version is browser's version
this.v = parseInt(this.version)
---this.v is integrated as this.version

---start again

--function openwinnowin includes three variables-theurl, wname, W and H

--vriable windowW is variable W

--variable windowH equals varibale H
windowX = (window.screen.width - windowW) / 2;
--x-position of the window is resolution minus width of the window divided by half
windowY = (window.screen.height - windowH) / 2;
--y-position of the window is resolution minus height of the window divided by half
splashWin = window.open("#", wname, 'fullscreen=1,toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,s tatus=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,'+s+r);
--this is it:open window fulscreen while above minimizes it to a smaller size

splashWin.blur();
--get the attention off the window
splashWin.resizeTo( Math.ceil( W ) , Math.ceil( H ) )
--resize the window to width proportional to height
splashWin.moveTo( Math.ceil( windowX ) , Math.ceil( windowY ) )
--move the window to windowX value while proprtional to windowY

by the way, the site is pretty nice

kick.ass

hey elvis, how about you write the tut, i got 2 new clients and don't have the time, sorry....

I don't understand what this website is all about

niether do i, but its cool...

I´m pretty sure that they used director 7 to do it.
Very very cool.

i'll write the tute but i'm not sure flashkit will let me put it in thei tutorials since it's not flash so i'll host it somewhere else.

They will if the title is "How to open a flash site w/out the browser", even though we all know that the browser is still there. My question is how did they get the window to move when you pulled on the "fake" bar

when the bar is clicked on and pressed on, the window relocates to the mouse coordinates.
