Hi all,

I want to be able to allow users to my site click
on a link, then a video is displayed in a 800 x 600 with
no re-sizable browser window no menus and for the users
to view it, similar to the free quality videos on
http://www.autoplayzone.com. How do I do that?

Hi. It's pretty easy to do. OK let's assume you have your video ready to go, as a 800 X 600 flash movie, or at least that's how it's done at autoplayzone. All you have to do is create an HTML page for this video and then set your main link to open that HTML page in a new window. In the case of the new window features such as size and scrollbars, that is done via javascript. There's tons of good javascripts around to do that at sites such as Dynamic Drive, etc. You can even grab the code from autoplayzone by viewing the source code. :)
