RE: FLASH: Browser Shaker and Expand........and Flash 4

[Eric Dunham]

I'm sorry, but I'm too tired to write the code for it now (especially since

I've never wanted to do what you are trying to do), but go here

http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/communicator/jsref/win1.htm#11881

07 and look at the methods of the window object. You'll notice that it has

moveBy and moveTo, as well as a resizeBy and resizeTo methods that you can

call. Now I'm not sure if IE supports the same methods...but if worst come

to worst you can always try adjusting window.style.width, .height, .left,

and .top.

I could write a function, but I wouldn't be able to do it until Monday, so I

figure I'll just try and give you a guide about how to go about it. To get

the window to move, you'd put your statements to redefine the position of

the window in a looping if statement. I guess I'd better explain that

one...For most operations, I think it's better not to use a for loop because

they're more processor intensive than if statements, so...

function ShakeItUp()

{

if (count < 350)

{

	//Your code here

	count++;

	setTimeout("ShakeItUp()",100);

}

}

Now what that does is it acts just like a do...while loop, but between if

statements, it allows the processor to "breathe" and perform other

operations (normal loops don't). Well...I hope that helps, and I would write

the code, but I'm exhausted from staying up until about 5 in the morning

coding...

.......now I've seen the shake done and the browser

resize thing happen. But I can't seem to get them to work together......Can

anyone point me in the right direction or possibly have some script I can

alter?
