RE: [Flashcoders] Transparent independent window (not wmode)3rd party tools?
I think that Ice Player need the Plugin to be installed. You can also use ScreenWeaver HX : http://haxe.org/swhx Nicolas, Yes, you do have to have the Ice player installed. I said that already. :) And that's OK with the client. From what I read about Screenweaver HX, (and I HOPE I am wrong) you still compile to an .exe file - so this isn't a solution for Internet Explorer, which is what I am asking for. Basically, just need the exact same thing the ice player does, but without the incompatibilities with Javascript and the Flash 8 player like the Ice player has.

Re: [Flashcoders] Transparent independent window (not wmode) 3rd party tools?
Hi Merrill, I am not sure fi you are able to use LocalConnection or ExternalInterface without beining the same application. I mean, do you know if you can communicatie bi-directionally with multiple Flash ActiveX wrappers? I.e. browser win32 application? I would think this won't be possible, not sure of course! You also have the problem you might not be able to trigger the popup from within your website/webpage. Maybe you can make some sort of notification application which can receive notify messages from you server or website, and then show it. Something like that should be possible, but most big companies (like the one where you work for) don't opening ports on client ports.

RE: [Flashcoders] Transparent independent window (not wmode) 3rd party tools?
Yeah, I am wondering if Localconnection won't work because of the same reasons the Javascript won't work with Flash 8 running in the Ice ActiveX player. Are there no other tools that can do this? I know Zinc can make it a custom shaped window, but only as an .exe or screensaver - not running as a wrapper in a browser.

RE: [Flashcoders] Transparent independent window (not wmode)3rd party tools?
Yeah, it can be done with the Flashants Ice player - http://www.flashants.com/root/index.shtml It's an ActiveX control you have to install. I don't think I'd want all the headache with regards to end users etc. Agreed. It was not my decision to use it, that was before I got here. All worked well with it until the Flash 8 security model changed and it wasn't compatible with it. I'm contacting the vendor, but we will probably trash this and end up doing it a different way.

Don't you want something similar to the Chromeless windows of Internet Explorer? Google for it, it's a window which out the caption etc. No, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a non-square shaped flash file, transparent background, that can be dragged around the browser and outside the browser - our customer wants an odd-shaped application to sit off to the side outside the browser as a help tool made in flash. An install for an additional player is OK, and the Ice player allows this as a wrap around Active X for the Flash player, but it has some incompatibilities with the Flash 8 player.
