How to create a FULLSCREEN Flash HTML page

by  davdesign  Posted    (Edited  )
Okay, after a several e-mail requests for a tutorial on how to create a fullscreen Flash HTML page here's my no-frills easy to follow version. Only 4 steps involved and as long as you know how to alter source code you should have no problems, basically everyone should be able to achieve this.........have fun.




[ul][li]Step 1[/li][/ul]

Put the following in a text editor and save as "main.html":

[color green][ignore]<HTML>
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>davdesign fullscreen</TITLE></HEAD>
<FRAMESET ROWS="100%,*" FRAMEBORDER="0" BORDER="0" FRAMESPACING="0">
<FRAME NAME="top" SRC="linker.html" FRAMEBORDER="0" BORDER="0" >
<FRAME NAME="bottom" SRC="blank.html" FRAMEBORDER="0" BORDER="0" >
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
[/ignore][/color]

[ul][li]Step 2[/li][/ul]

Create your link button (or frame action) in a flash movie and publish as a page called "linker.html".
The link-button (or frame action) to your fullscreen page must have the action:
[color green][ignore]
Get URL ("bottom.html", window="bottom")
[/ignore][/color]
Insert the following code into the <HEAD> of "linker.html" AFTER you have published it:
[color green][ignore]
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> var javascript_version = 1.0;</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1"> javascript_version = 1.1;</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var newwin;
function launchwin(winurl,winname,winfeatures)
{
newwin = window.open(winurl,winname,winfeatures);
if(javascript_version > 1.0)
{
setTimeout('newwin.focus();',250);
}
var bversion = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
var bname = navigator.appName;
if(bname == "Netscape" && bversion == "4")
{
parent.frames[1].location.replace("blank.html");
}
else
{
parent.frames[1].history.back();
}
}
</SCRIPT>
[/ignore][/color]


[ul][li]Step 3[/li][/ul]

Put the following in a text editor and save as "blank.html", change the BGCOLOR to suit "linker.html":

[color green][ignore]
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE></TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">
</BODY>
</HTML>
[/ignore][/color]


[ul][li]Step 4[/li][/ul]

Put the following in a text editor and save as "bottom.html", change 'http://www.pinkzeppelin.com' to the
URL of the page you want to load fullscreen:

[color green][ignore]
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE></TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"
ONLOAD="parent.frames[0].launchwin('http://www.pinkzeppelin.com',
'newwindow',
'width='+(screen.width - 10)+',height='+(screen.height - 30)+',screenX=0,screenY=0,directories=0,fullscreen=1,location=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,status=0,toolbar=0')">
</BODY>
</HTML> [/ignore][/color]
