quick question of using flash to open new browser w/o scrollbar etc..

[Guest_imported]

hi, if you can help me in figuring out how can i use flash's command (if possible without javascript) to have a button to launch a new broswer with settings of scrollbar=no, resizable=no, toolbars=no (you know what i mean).

also, another question is if you know a way to get a value of the current frame or previous frame loaded and assign it to a variable so i can always keep track of the frame that is playing? i can't get the script to work without saying syntax error!!!!!

thanks for your help.

1-> Don't think you can get away with it without the use of javascript! Have a lok at one of Dave's FAQ: faq250-391 ...It might help!

2- Post your faulty code... So we can have a look at it!

There are 3 ways to open a pop-up window with flash.
1. Get URL (easy but no window control)
2. Get URL: "javascript" (simple and consistent)
3. FS Command (more difficult, but doesn't support all browsers)

you can check them out at

Hope this helps

hi

I guess you've sorted out you're first problem so I'll tackle the second for you.

In your main timeline create a dynamic text field and give it the variable "mm" say.

Now, create a movie-clip. In the first frame set the actions:


../:mm = _level0/:_currentframe;


and insert a frame in frame 2.

Drag this new movie-clip on the main time-line and voila!
