Full screen with no scrollbars

I use this code when a button is clicked in flash

and a code in the html page

okay so, when i click the button, main.html opens in full screen but i still have a scrollbar on the right, even though in the code of the button i specified no scrollbars "scrollbars=no".
I'm really suck. Any ideas how i can get rid of the scrollbar?
I asked the same thing in the flash forums but they said that i might find the answer here.

Thanks

This IS the Flash forum, I assume you mean a different site ?

To answer your question,
Fullscreen mode isn't like a normal window, you can't controll the tool/scroll bars with it.

Use that same getURL() but this time pass only fullscreen no =no , tool/scrollbar properties, just fullscreen you'll get the same result. The browser sees that word & forgets everything else.

Fullscreen is like telling a 5 year old yes, it will forget everything else you tell them & go about their own agenda.

yes, well i thought so, i was struggling with the full screen problem for about 3 days.
so my only option of a full screen is http://www.cbcradio3.com/issues/2004_02_20/index.cfm
and i will have the title bar but no scrollbars.
right?

Pretty much

Rather than using javascript us a Flash fccommand.

fscommand ("fullscreen", "true");

Put this in the first keyframe you want the movie to go fullscreen.

That will work for a projector.

fscommand also works with Internet Explorer. I think it works with Mozilla, too, but it certainly doesn't work with other browsers so I don't recommend it.
Later edit : no, it doesn't work with Mozilla.

I don't recommend going fullscreen and autostretch, either. A 800 x 600 movie containing raster graphics would look barely OK on 1024 x 768, but what about higher resolutions ? Plus, CPU-intensive animations will run slower when stretched.

What I do recommend is inserting a fixed-size swf in a table or DIV and center it both horiz. and vertically. That way, you can use your initial JavaScript command and it shouldn't produce the scrollbar.

Actually, you can do the following.

Which will give a truly FULL screen, edge to edge of your monitor with no browser scroll bars or title bars. If you do the code right, the original poster didn't. This gives you a top to bottom, left to right totally empty and blank page with NO browser controls of any kind in IE, so all you see is your Flash truly full screen regardless what resolution the end user has his system set to.

**** only the portion of JavaScipt that goes on HTML calling page
that creates and opens a NEW browser window follows. You also
need a script that 's commonly called a browser sniffer, which
detects which browser the end user has, plus what version and
which OS and version he's using and what resolution the end user
is set too. Following was taken from one such script, just
ncluding the asked about part to minimize a already long post.



This all worked perfectly for me until the Microsoft idiots came out with
Service Pack two, now its more clumsy. See seperate post.

BillyBoy, your resolve is obvious, but it doesn't solve the problems related with stretching raster graphics or big tweens or fscommand being IE strict. Well, Lucinan, you do what you think is best in your case. So you've actually said nothing at all, since it is basically what Lucian has tried in the 1st place.

I have KINDA of a similar problem. When I open my published movies (html), there is a white border around my movie. check it out to better understand what I mean:

Ray, that's because HTML documents have margins by default. You must use



in your stylesheet or



if you don't use CSS.

thanks Fiveseven on your reply, however the rightmargin is still showing. I tried adding a rightmargin = "0" but that did not work.. ?!
I tried changing the dimensions of the Flash file as well to fit the contour of the html but that did not work either.. so i temporarily made the bgrd color blue so it won't look odd...

Do u know how I can get the right margin to disappear. The problem with the right margin is that is shows as white space to the roght of my top toolbar. Please be patient with the newbie (me)

on a seperate note, why am I seeing the old content I posted on my website even though I cleared my IE cache.. ?!!

i would use CSS

I had the exact same problem. After some hair pulling, I found a workaround by using frames.

The page you open in fullscreen is your frameset. Left frame is an empty page with 0 width and the same background color as your main page. Right frame is your main page where you put your content with auto scrolling, or no scrolling.



You can add a button top.close() in main page to let the user close the fullscreen window, but the launcher window can't be closed without that annoying alert popup. To circumvent this popup, read about HTA files, but that's another story, user needs to download it localy, it's only useful for kiosk-like application.

Anyone nows a site that can give me a clue how to create a popup like on http://www.rsqaudi.com or http://www.doom3.com, plus explaining how to create buttons witch can close the movie.
