    launching a pre-sized browser window automatically

    Hi,

    I have a folder containing HTML files and swfs. I need to create a single executable out of this folder, and I also need this executable to simply open up a browser window with no menu, no browser buttons, etc. at a set width and height. Is this possible with AutoPlay?

    Thank you,

    Mary Anne

    Hi. Handling title-free pop-up browser windows can be tricky. By far the best way to handle this is "pure AMS", i.e. create a project with a web object on the page and simply set the PROJECT > WINDOW SETTINGS to flat or bordered. See attached example...

    Note, you will have to use ALT + F4 to close the window in the example since there's no title bar...

    Here is a post that describes just how to do that. It will require the LuaCOM plugin which can be downloaded for free from IcyNorth.

    thank you!

    Thank you very much - I will try out both of these things. (Just a small clarification to Corey, though, I do want a title bar - but no other browser controls.)

    Hi. OK if you don't mind a title bar you could also do this with javascript. See attached example. Hope that helps.
