Question for HTML nerds

[Alspos]

I'm sort of nerdy but not enough to figure this out.

I need to build a cd that opens a flash page (autorun when put in the cd drive) Then the flash page links to other stuff on the cd (catalogue etc.)

I want to resize the window that the flash animation opens in so it fits neatly around it and you can't resize it etc.

The only way I can figure to do it so far is for to open a browser window the right size and have it open there but that leaves the original window open. (autorun.inf opens booter.exe. booter opens default.htm. default opens a window the right size for the flash page.)

I either need to make the original widow close by itself (default.htm) or the page that opens itself straight from the cd needs to resize itself somehow (default.htm 700 x 500 pixels)

I know it's fussy but I'd like to do it so it looks nice. Help!!!

Thanks

This cd buisness wouldn't have to do with 'Everything is legal till you get caught' right ? :D

Make the original window close by itself after its opened the flash page, look in google for extensive html code, there should be a line to close itself as there is one to minimise, that'll be you best bet.

You use FlashPla.exe to make a "projector" which basically bundles flash player with the .swf file into a nice executable. Get autorun to open that.

or use director.

i've done the same thing as well with flash, autorun to the projector file. that can be anysize you want and link to any file on the cd you want. also no browser that was as well :P

Rightio, thanks for the help so far. Found the different exporter thingy and made the exe file.
Now I have one more problem to fix. I need the flash file to not loop. I have 3 buttons (one for a pdf, one for webpage and one for mail) and I can't stop the flash and make the buttons work. So close yet so far :glare:

Wouldn't it be lovely to have some time to learn a program and figure out how it works, without a deadline over your head.....

how not to loop? i've forgotten how :( i know how to do it in director tho (lingo) :D thats why u pay me to do it instead :D hehe

Add the 'Stop' action to the frame that has the links on it.

Code: Select all

stop ();

if you set up an 'Autorun.ini' that opens the .exe file, you can make it open in full screen mode by adding this code to the first frame:

Code: Select all

fscommand ("fullscreen", "true");

change true to false to make it go back to normal size.. you dont have to add the code to a frame, you can attach it to a button.. so the button changes it from/to full screen.


and to add a quit button, add this code to a 'button':

Code: Select all

fscommand ("quit");

i used to use flash alot, i dont so much anymore, but i still remember everything. ask me if you have any more questions..
