redundant 08-09-2004, 11:40 AM hey guys
javascript isn't my strong point, but it looks like i'm going to need it this time. i'm making a flash movie for a project at school, and basically, i need to change the size of an internet browser (ie) and get rid of the toolbar, status bar, etc.
i know you can do all that stuff through the window.open command, but i need to do all this to the current window.
this won't actually be going on the internet or anything, so i don't need to worry about any inconsistencies between browsers etc.
if anyone could help it would be MUCH appreciated.

redundant 08-09-2004, 01:06 PM sorry, the internet explorer object?
how do i do that?
neofibril 08-09-2004, 01:27 PM Well, its a long story...
What all are you looking to do with the project, window-wise?
Take a look at the HTA (http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/hta/hta_node_entry.asp) documentation, for a simpler, but less flexible set up.
redundant 08-09-2004, 01:35 PM all i need is for the first window that i launch from flash (which has a local address) to be of a specific size, and without the toolbars/statusbar/any of that junk
neofibril 08-09-2004, 01:41 PM Ok, post your current code, so that someone might provide pointers, based on that.
Be sure to read the manual, too, while you're at it. ;)

redundant 08-09-2004, 03:19 PM ok, so i think maybe i was a bit misleading when i started ranting about my project being based around flash.
just say for instance i have an html page that is just
<html>
</html>
is there something i can add to that code that would make the page a certain size, and get rid of toolbars etc.
i am not opening a new window
neofibril 08-09-2004, 03:37 PM No, there are three ways to go about it, and each has already been pointed out.

You can't change the attributes of the original window.

Best you can do with Javascript, is to open a child window and immediately close the parent. I do this on my own site.
A little js JuJitsu to bypass the window close prompt:
<body onLoad="javascript:window.parent='';window.close();">
