Re: FLASH: FS Command to maximise browser flash window

[Daniel Votino]

>very happy if someone can give me an advice how to force IE4/5 to open a

new window at maximum size or at least the same as parent window without

hiding start menu). At N, the only things that separates the window, opened

by this way, from fullscreen, are start menu and window title.

Markki,

    As to opening your browser full screen but not hiding the start bar is a

method i tried for awhile at a site i worked on.  It involved a detection

script which detected which screen resolution the user was using.  640x480,

800x600, or 1024x768.  based on resolution you could then open a window

exactly as you wished and after tweaking it a bit, i had each resolution

opening full screen but with the start bar still in view.  (these were new

window instances covering the parent window, so subsequently worked on

netscape as well).  The setback of this was of course you must set the x,y

placement so if someone had their start bar in a nontraditional place, their

bar would be covered.  it only works, as i tweaked it, for the general

poplation that leaves their bar at the bottom of the screen.  But as I said,

i "tried it" only for a while as most people commented that it was obtrusive

. . . and even left a distaste for the site since it seemingly took control

of their browser.  Maybe someone has some other ideas.
