[Flashcoders] Can Flash or Director open a browser window with limited chrome
I'm working on a CD-ROM deployment of the content in a website. I'd like to create a standalone projector (Flash or Director) and use it to navigate to parts of the main HTML content. Does anybody know what tools or code I can use to: 1- open an HTML page in a browser window, and at the same time control the window attributes of that browser window (toolbars, position, etc). Ideally, I'd like to open a window with minimal features. I know this is easy from another browser window,... but not sure if it's achievable via a standalone projector. 2-The other thing I'd like to do is target the same simple window if I need to change the content from the projector . i.e. replace the content with a new HTML page instead of opening a new window.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flashpaper for customized documents
Hello: Excellent. That makes sense now. Thank you for the guidance! Lorraine Hello :) you can clone with BitmapData your current FlashPaper container (movieclip)... Use this strategy to create you new printable document yes :) EKA+ :) -- ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] Flashpaper for customized documents
Thanks! Can you add new content in Flash that will print with the flashpaper document using BitmapData Class? e.g. a new logo customized for the user and a text header/footer? Would it handle multiple pages in a document? LC Hello :) yes you can do it .. use BitmapData class in you movieClip and used my FlashPaperLoader class in VEGAS : http://vegas.riaforge.org/ 1 - download the last version of VEGAS (or use SVN client) 2 - install the classpath of Vegas AS2 in your Flash8 or in MTASC, use AS2/trunk/src directory for your classpath. 3 - test the examples in AS2/trunk/bin/test/asgard/loader/FlashPaperLoader.fla :) Read the documentation of the class to see all methods in this loader (you can hide the logo etc...) EKA+ :) 2006/12/5, redknot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi all: I have not used Flashpaper yet. I have a potential project that would involve making a resource that would allow users to customize printable documents (forms). There are hundreds of these forms so they can't be laid out directly in Flash (too time prohibitive). Customization could be limited to header, footer and a logo. Here is the workflow I need to develop: 1) Original documents are in Word 2) convert to Flashpaper 3) import flashpaper swf into Flash 4) create an interface in Flash that allows user to add a logo, and edit header and footer content 5) Print customized document from Flash with flashpaper, logo and custom header/footer Is this feasible? For instance could I just lay movieclips with a logo, and header and footer on top of the multipage Flashpaper for it to print? or does printing from flashpaper work differently from what I could accomplish using the Printjob class? Another question. Obviously I can load a jpeg for the logo, if the above is feasible. Is there a way the user can browse to find their logo.jpg file on their hard drive to load it? Thanks for any help... I need to figure this out today, of course.

[Flashcoders] creaing an acordian menu with custom graphics
Hi all, I'm going to create an accordian menu with custom graphics, Like the accordian component but using my own custom buttons. I can probably figure out how to do this from scratch, but if you have been through building one or have seen some example code or tutorials on this type of menu system anywhere, I'd be happy for the jump start!

RE: [Flashcoders] ScrollPane weirdness
Thanks for the suggestion. To clarify, the setScrollProperties is acting on the scrollPane instance? I tried a variation of this after the swf finished loading, and it didn't change the behavior of the scrollbars unfortunately. Is that method (setScrollProperties) documented somewhere? Interestingly, If I check the height of the swf scrollPaneInstance.content._height it comes up about a hundred pixels short.
