Chromeless window

[M@or]

I'm new here so hello everybody.

1. I'm working with Chromeless window and Flash.
I want the Chromeless window to have transparent borders.
how can I do that?

2. I want two IE windows to 'talk' to each other (from HTML to Chromeless). I managed to do it till now, but it dosen't work with the Chromeless window for some reason. can anyone help?

thanks.

If you are talking about chromeless as no title bar, borders, etc. I would not waste time since IE has fixed the bug in newer browsers and upgrades. Um..... You can not make the borders transparent......

You need to name the windows to be able to talk to them....

Hey Al1en...ltns...Was gonna use your chromeless window-maker when I read about SP1 disabling them.

The cloest thing I've found to chromeless that's gonna work now and in the future is DOM-based @ Dynamic Drive under 'Message box'...and maybe this js called 'OverLib' which is a kinda 'tool-tip' with html. :D

tell me how to make the outside border as thin as possible?
how to set the size of the window?

My 'big' question is: I already managed to get two flash movies in two different explorer windows to interact, But since I've put one of them in a chromless window, they do not interact anymore. How do I fix it?

Thanks for your help.

I found this in a posting about two months back. I forget the site it's from, but I put together what I did download from there into a folder on my hard drive so I could examine it later. I zipped 'em up here if you wanna check it out. The zip contains another zip, so dont' get too confused. I don't understand it (college doesn't give much time for that), but it definitely works.

Good luck, hope it helps. It's from the dynamic drive site if anyone knows the url on that.

but the chomeless window files I have are fine.

the question is in the thread above, maybe it will be more clear if I'll ask: how should I address a chromeless window from another IE window?

[A1ien51]

how is the chromeless window being called??

Name=window.open////////blah/////

Name.document.location.href="WOW.htm"
Name.blur();
Name.focus();

I'll try it, maybe it'll help.

* A Chromeless window is like a framed window: you'll need treat it as such when TARGETing links...

* The old Chromeless code will not work on IE6 w/SP1. There is a newer version of the code that DOES. Keep an eye out and I'll post it here or on my site as soon as all the bugs are worked out...

* There should be something in your code that looks like this:
var brd =b||2; var max =x||true; var min =m||true; ... the color in red should be your border size.

* On my site, the code in the link that opens the chromeless looks like this:
onClick="mywin002=openIT('2/chromeless.html',760,528,null,null,'storms',2); return false" ... Again, the color in red is the name of the window. You'll need to use a frames-style of coding to target it correctly.

To make this a lot easier on everyone here, please post your codes here, or give us a link so we can look at it.

:D :thumbsup:

...or VML...but it's probably proprietary IE :D

I've figured it out. I had the chromless to open an SWF file as usually do, but forgot that I had part of the script in the HTML.
so one is down, the other is:
why can't I make the border as thin as I know possible?
it's still very thick.
thanks.

Quiet Storm, I'm waiting for your posting of the new files.
