How do you make a certain size window? 1

[Firehawk734]

I mean,

A lot of sites will have a link to maybe their most recent updates, and they will have a new window pop up in the top left corner, which is UNSIZEABLE.

http://www.2advanced.com

does this alot in their portfolio section where you can view their work, and when you launch the site they made, it appears in a certain size window which is not resizeable, etc. How do you do this??

I use dreamweaver mx and flash mx.

Thanks

Just a simple pop up..Tulsa Jeff has a good tutorial in the FAQ section of the flash forum here..Follow his instructions on how to make a pop up..

With fixed size and all..

Then once you understand how it works..Come back and I'll show you a faster way..

Ok i only want this popup to show up when a button is clicked in Flash and then I want a swf to open up in the POP UP.

Here's the quick way..

on (press) {
getURL("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('your.swf','newWin','width=550,height=400,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus();void(0);"
}

Cjange the size of the window to suit what ya need..

That's what you get, if you call Tulsa's javascript function, within your button script.
As for Carl, he'll probably suggest that you include the whole javascript function in your button script, rather than calling it in the html. Although it might be faster to set up, IMHO, this has it's pros and cons.
Rather that calling up an html with a Flash movie embedded into it as usual, you could probably just call the .swf itself, but again that too might have it's pros and cons! Regards,

how do you just call the swf and have it open in another window??? The way that I know how to do it would ask if you want to download the file. heh

Carl just posted it above!
'your.swf' instead of 'your.html' Regards,

Or maybe...

getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yourserver.com/path/your.swf",[/URL] "_blank");
