PROJECTOR PROBLEM

[BongoMudpie]

I have a created a CD ROM, I have links to certain web pages on the internet, my projector is set to full screen which is essential, however when I click on the the links to launch the web links the browser launches but is not visible because of the projector being set to full screen.

How can I overcome this so that the browser automatically sits on top of the full screen projector.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Web page should come in front of the fullscreen projector. Are you using

gotoNetPage

command? If so, when you click on the button/link, does the Task bar come in front with the Task bar button for the web page? Can you click on it to restore/focus the web page?

Thanks for your reply

yes Im using the gotoNetPage command!
no the task bar does not come in front!
no I can't click on it!

Funny thing though...I also have email links using gotoNetPage "mailto:name@name.co.uk" and this does launch the users email editor, now whats that all about?

I heard that in Windows 95/98, if the browser window is already open behind the fullscreen projector, it would not come in front. This may be your case.

(1) Try BuddyAPI Xtra

baOpenURL

command:

--
baOpenURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.someURL.com",[/URL] "normal")
--

(3) If that doesn’t work, you’ll need to force the browser window to come in front using BuddyAPI. You need to know the title of the web page so the BuddyAPI can find the window. Attach the following behaviour to the button:

--
property browserFocus

on beginSprite me
  browserFocus = FALSE
end beginSprite

on mouseUp me
  goToNetPage "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.someURL.com"[/URL]
  browserFocus = TRUE
end mouseUp

on exitFrame me
  if browserFocus then
    browserWindowList = baWindowList("", "Some page title", false)
    if browserWindowList.count > 0 then
      browserWindow = browserWindowList[1]
      baActivateWindow(browserWindow)
      browserFocus = FALSE
    end if
  end if  
end
--
