Disable Maximize Square Button 1

[nomsg]

Greetings All:

How do I disable the top right maximize square button?

That is, when I export -- eg, a 500 x 500 -- movie, how do I let the viewers view my flash movie in that original size without letting them hit the maximize square button?

Thank you.
nomsg.

nomsg,

try putting "resizable=no"

in your window.open script like so:

window.open("yourpage.htm","","width=800,height=550,resizable=no");

be warned though, only works with ie 5.5 and up.

Thank you for your reply Biggie.

You mean window.open in html doc, not in Flash?

If in Flash, which part?

cheers,

You would have to open a "chromeless" (without borders or those top-right icons) popup... But that only works with IE and not with Netscape that insists on keeping those icons no matter what! Regards,

Thanks again Biggie.
I got it.

Perhaps that's what makes the web interesting, where it's still not a perfect medium.

cheers,

a little note about the chromeless window, apart that it only works on ie, it is also a memory hog. I dont know about u guys using it, but i've had complaints from site visitors that sometimes thier computer becomes a bit sluggish. It looks great, that's why i opted for it, but when I got several complaints about it, i had no choice but to replace it with conventional window.


by the way, OLD, i was trying to find dave's flash pop-up, the one that looks like a chromeless window with just a white on blue X on the top right. any idea where it went? I tried the FAQ's of this forum and didnt find it there. maybe under a different title?

Sorry Biggie, I can't be too much help in this area.
I'm afraid I don't know much about Dave's Flash pop-up window.

cheers,

nomsg,

no return favor needed, but i may opt for your suggestion. Im still developing several websites and hasn't got the time to market some of them myself. Maybe in a couple of weeks or a couple of months, i may have to ask you for some marketing point. thanks in advance .
