Fullscreen, Optimization for less individual files... 1

[WhiteTiger]

Ok, after writing 3 pages of text, I decided I'd get yelled at because it probably got confusing...sheesh.

I need to know, HOW can I make a page fullscreen, without a bunch of HTML files for each seperate fullscreen page across multiple SWF's?

I have 10 floorplans spanned across 10 seperate files...loaded onto a main movie when requested. I want to take the plan itself, along with a close button, and open it up full screen. WITHOUT 100's of html files for opening them all seperatly...if anyone has any idea what I'm talking about, or would like to help me...please do. Regards,
Anthny

Upon working with loading redesigned movies, I have come up with another, simpler question.

How can I load a movie into my main movie, at a certian size?

Say my floorplan is 10000x10000 but I want to load it into a 200x200 square...

I know loadmovie can load into a target...now, can I give that target a size? Regards,
Anthny

Guess you would have to open up fullscreen popups with as many htmls as needed! Do you only have 10 plans or 100? You are again confusing me! After all, 10 htmls each holding but one jpeg floorplan... Ain't that much work!

Otherwise, and if your plans are external movies on other levels, you could probably add them a scale button (+ scale back down button + an opaque black background to cover your navigation when they would be scaled up)... And scale up these movies up to 750-800*550-600 at the most, for the average user's resolution of 800*600.
If you'd like to further complicate things, as you usually do, you could allways have a resolution sniffer upon ending up on the site, and probably scale up the plans evenmore according to the resolution setting detected!

Is this as confusing as what you've posted?

PS: Maybe a vote or even a simple thanks would sometimes get you better attention and respect on this forum!

10000? What size monitor do you have?
Did you mean 1000*1000?

Yes, you can resize loaded movies on levels or in target clips!

Thanks Old...I dont see how that was so confusing...but the example I followed, requires 2 seperate HTML pages for each SWF you need to open full screen.

In other words, those 10 swf's would have 2 html files each to accompany them....30 files for 10 floorplans.
Sorry about the confusing hundred. And I dont see how its so confusing.

This is so I can open a fullscreen version of the SWF I'm loading into my main movie... Regards,

[oldnewbie]

That would be 20 files, and not 30!
And don't understand why you would have to have 2 htmls per plan?

By the way, I'm not talking swfs.
You have this floorplan swf, at the size you have it now in your main movie.
On a click on the plan, this opens up a fullscreen popup that has a jpg only picture inside of it. That's it, not another swf!

Is there a possible way to detect if a movie itself is loaded on a level, and if so, which level? I have the design down and got rid of a seperate SWF entity for the fullscreen application...


OK...now I have my example up...

http://www.eaglerockproperties.com->communities->eagle

chase->floorplans and elevations->azalea floorplan

Ok, in the floorplans and elevations menu, I have the top part (Home, next, back buttons) loaded as my main level...Movie 1...under that hiarchy is Flr_1, (The first floorplan...and seperate file.) Loaded into Movie 1.
Flr_1 has accompanied with it, bottom.html and fullscreen.html...which I call to make Flr_1, which was previously loaded INTO Movie 1, load in a seperate page, in which it is fullscreen...*sigh*

Now, my problem is, Flr_1.swf, needs bottom.html and fullscreen.html to call Flr_1.swf...bottom.html loads fullscreen.html with a script so it is fullscreen, and and fullscreen.html has Flr_1.swf hard coded into the embed.

What I need to know is, HOW can I pass a variable (I'm guessing this is what I need to know) to Bottom.html, have bottom.html pass it along to fullscreen.html to load the correct floorplan? (HENCE, killing about 9 extra files that I dont need)

SORRY if I'm making this sound confusing...I really dont mean to...I dont know how to explain it any other way. Regards,
Anthny

You're loosing me! You do like to complicate things, don't you!
Before you go any further on this... Have you had a look at all of this with Netscape? Think you're in for a surprise!

[oldnewbie]

OH! And another slight problem...
As you now have it set up, if I use your suggestion and use ALT->F4 on the small azalea, do you realize it closes there and then, the whole browser window, and that I have to re-log back on to the site and start from scratch!

[oldnewbie]

So Withie! Gave up already?

Look for the key word full screen in a keyword search, you'll see my old question about fullscreen. I followed the tutorial you gave me...it requires 2 html files to open up another SWF full screen. And for me it opens up the SWF just fine...not a JPG. Regards,

[oldnewbie]

Suit yourself! If you like this navigation... It's fine with me!

Yikes, this was a long time ago...oh, I finished the script for IE so everything works perfect now. The 2 pages are ASP and they pass variables between them to grab the image/swf.

I dont know why your netscape was pulling my swf's up as images..........stupid NS. Regards,
