FLASH: opening a full-screen window

[Daniel J. O'Neil]

<samp>

Dear Gabriel and Brian,


The way I opened a full-screen window from Flash was via JavaScript.


In the head of the html file that contains the button that launches

Flash, I have the following script:


<script language="JavaScript">

<!-- hide script from old browsers


browserName = navigator.appName

browserVer = parseInt(navigator.appVersion)


if (browserName == "Netscape" && browserVer == 4) {

 browser = "N4";

} else if (browserName == "Netscape" && browserVer == 3) {

 browser = "N3";

} else if (browserName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" && browserVer ==

4) {

 browser = "E4";

} else if (browserName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" && browserVer ==

3) {

 browser = "E3";

}


function glideLaunch() {

 if ((browser == "N4") || (browser == "N3")) {


window.open("base.html","glideWin","resizable,width=1024,height=768,screenX=0,screeny=0")


 } else if ((browser == "E3") || (browser == "E4")) {

  window.open("glideframe.html","glideWin","fullscreen=yes")

 }

}// end script hiding -->

</script>


On the button that launches Glide, I chose the "Get URL" action and for

the URL parameter typed "javascript:glideLaunch()"


Hope this helps.


Best regards,

Daniel
