going borderless

[chewan]

can someone tell me how to create a completely borderless java window in ie for my flash movie. i would also like to know how i can close this window with an action in flash, so for example, when the user clicks on the word quit in the bottom right hand corner, the ie/netscape window will close. thanks in advance, john

if you want a completely borderless pop window you have to go full screen, i have only once seen it don with out going fulll screen and i'm currently working on a way to do it. to go full screen have a look at this source

http://javascript.internet.com/navig...ll-screen.html

to close said window, you need a javascript close command in your html, you then use a geturl that calls the javascript to close the window

if you need more help reply to this mail and i'll try to find some examples

are you guys looking for something like http://www.clown.st/index199.html?
A pop-up without any border (even in netscape 4.75 I hearded).

window.open ('your_url','newWin','fullscreen=true')

I never seen something like that b4, only prob is, I still got the cursor and I've left that page!

'DOH!!!!
How do I get rid of the thing???

[unicycle]

WHAT?
that is not suppose to happen,
after closing the window it should dissapear.

What browser and operating system do you use?
Is it still there after shut down the whole computer as well?
(please say no otherwise I am really pissed).

In that case you probably you have the program of comet,
start it up,
and push the button default.

I think I better get rid of that cursor plug-in feature.

Win2K and IE5. That thing is mean, how did you do that? I might go back and get the script

[unicycle]

you can get the script at http://www.cometcursor.com/.
If you read that copy paste code you see a url to a .js download that script.
Then remove the part which write the banner or the pop-up window.
Then put this .js on your own server (and adapt the this copy paste code).
Now you've got your really free comet cursor.

I'm telling lies, I have seen that hack demonstrated on bugtraq about 3 months ago. Bugtraq told M$ about it and M$ released a security patch for their browser about a week later. Unusually fast response time for M$ too I might add, who in their own words say, "Anyone concerned about security would not buy Win98".

Netscape released a new browser version (4.75) to fix a similar problem with their browser.

The thing is, I'm pretty sure I have that security patch for IE so either that patch don't work or is not installed correctly on my comp or you've just demonstrated yet another way to HACK DA PLANET!

Imagine what you could do if you swapped the 20k exe that gets installed on the users comp for something with a little more spice

I started life as a hacker b4 I ever became interested in web development and drawing pretty pictures, and you would have to be the first person that has been able to install a exe on my comp without my permission or knowledge in over 2 years! I thought I was safe, now I have to go read up on all the latest security news and hacks again. It just never ends, one backdoor gets closed and some one opens 2 more.

The net gets less secure as time and technology move forward, but that's what makes it fun

Aha, I understand what happened.
But before you get too exe-ited.
I did'nt plan it. It like you said a bug of M$.
Cause on WIN95 / 98 it ask for confirm before install.

Have you tried the windows-2000 server edition.
Over 2000 ports, and most of hem wide open while you serve the web...

There somewhere a site which can report which are open or not.
When you're intresseted, I can find out where, just let me know.

Yep, I have adv server but I only use it for testing my pages. And yes again, win2k does have some open ports that I don't really need, and I can telent to them too but not much else.

I check 4 opens ports with this command; netstat -AN 3

Win2k is very stable (not Linux stable but it's not bad 4 a M$ product) so I'm sticking with it. Were as Win98/ME randomly crashs, and just about every time you install something, Win98/ME asks you to reboot!. I hate rebooting

I have a laptop with win98. So I have an extra mouse.
If you are able to use a mouse, you'll never know which one.
First 14 months it never had that problem, now it is changing the bios itself (!).
Monday I will get a new desktop 1Ghz, 30Gb, 128 + 256 MB,
so I can chrash even faster.

Where do you want to crash today?
