browser size

[chedylan]

hi
i use dreamweaver and flash 8

i have a flash website im building i need to get the browser to open only to the dimensions of the movie. how can i possibly do this?? ive looked around for ages but cannot find a way of doing it. i thought this would be quite simple. I can either have it in the first page or then click on a link to open a page with it fitting the movie . is this possible please help!

No. You can only re-size a browser window that you create with javascript. The usual way around this is to use window.onLoad to run the javascript popup function to pop a new window and size it to your SWF.

However, most modern browsers stop this from happening because of bad advertisers and their popup ads.

So, your best bet is to not display your flash in a window, but create a nice background and center your flash piece in the user's own browser window.

Another way is to write the function that opens the window in javascript in your html page and then use fscommand to call up the function from within Flash.
