Can you pop up a browser with no scroll bars etc and a certain size from an .exe file or .swf file? I'm producing a CD Rom in Flash and need to be able to do this. Is it possible and if so how do you do it?
Thanks again!

I think you can only loadMovie in a dragable mc target...
pop up are html, if you are not in a browser you can not use them

you can easily do it with JS, include the JS on the CD

Jazx,
How do I do that? Do I include it as a text file or something???

you can use javascript. just do the following:
• launch a page using "getURL"
• in that page have a javascript script that pops open a new window with you desired attributes.
• then in the popup window have a script that closes the "opener" window.i've done this before, but i'm too lazy to search for the code i used. do you need it?

exactomundo, you will need to source that JS in your actionscript

I still can't fathom it out. Any ideas?

Make an html page that opens a new browser window with the status bar. scroll bar hidden.... etc...
include that html page on your CD... Have flash link to that html file and presto.

nosaj,
Will that html page appear and if so what is the code in the pop up page to close that page?
Hmmmm...I'm tired!
Cheers.

Sorry to be a pain everyone but a deadline is looming. I can't seem to be able to make a pop up browser from within a .exe file. This browser would play a .swf file (a demo of some software) and I do not have the original .fla file. Other than a pop up window I have wrestled with the idea of making this .swf file appear in a movie clip. But the swf file full screens because of the .exe file I think??? and theres no way of closing it and going back to the original screen. I know this is a long question but I'm really stuck. Any suggetsions on either solution would be much appreciated?
I thank you all. I would be forever in your debt!
