run flash player

@AcemanAug 20.2003

I created a Flash website.
Now I have published it and it created an index.html & index.swf.
I look at the index.swf and love the way it works 700×500 flash player and all.
When set up within the website host, it runs automatically the index.html.

Is there a way to have it NOT run the index.html and/or load the index.swf in a Flash media player ONLY?

basically when someone types in my website, i would like for it to open the Flash Player and have it run my .swf at that point (just as though i double clicked the index.swf on my computer)?

@Sux0rZh_jc0rzAug 20.2003 — #no clue how to help you, but it seems interesting. Don't think it can be done but when you get it running(if on webpage or flash player like u want) send me a PM and tell me the address.

*waits for the buffer to catch up with him due to downloading massive things off bearshare and listening to music at the same time and typing extremely fast*

@TonyV125Aug 26.2003 — #Aceman, not many people have the stand-alone FlashPlayer. When someone views a website requiring the FlashPlayer, they are prompted to download the browser version. Most people only have the ActiveX/Plug-in FlashPlayer in their browser.

There is a solution to your problem, though.

What you need to do is make a copy of index.html and call it something else (e.g. flashpage.html). You may have to adjust the topmargin and leftmargin in the body tag to 0 if you want the flash tight to the edges. Then change the original index.html so that it just has a simple splashscreen or something (doesn't need to have any flash) that launches a pop-up window when it opens using a window_onload javascript function containing a command like

popUpWin('flashpage.html', 700, 500);

Actually, you'll probably need to use a number larger than 500 for the height to compensate for the typical browser menu, buttons, address bar).
