Could someone tell me if I did this wrong. This is my 1st time trying this and I'm pretty sure I followed the tutorial correctly, but it isn't making a new working window:

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/embarassed.gif ALT=":o"> penIT('page.html', 800, 600, null, null, 'mywinname01');");
}

Did I put the javascript in the correct spot? When I click on my flash button to open the 'new borderless window', I get a new BLANK page with an error symbol in the lower left corner of the window. Any help would be great!! Thanks

This is the tutorial I'm referring to:

to get rid of that face icon next time uncheck the Emoticons box under posting options.

You are calling a javascript on that button, so have you defined the javascript. to get it to work you need to Copy and paste the javascript command also. maybe that is the problem.

I think that right now Kirupa's tut section in down well I can't get into it to check the tut.

Good luck, and post back.

Matt, thanks for responding

I rechecked the site and it is working with a few mess-ups. Just scroll the screen across and everything should be in the center of the screen. If that site still isn't working, at the bottom of this response I have the site that makes this Javascript 'plugin' needed, in order to make this borderless window work.
Basically, the newest script version is called 'chromeless_35.js' and should be inserted in the same directory as the .swf & .html files you want to open up in the borderless window. This code goes into the flash button that is supposed to call up this borderless window:

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript openIT4FLASH('page.html', 800, 600, null, null, 'mywinname01');");
}

Then, after you make the .swf file and put it into an .html page - that SAME .html page you put this Javascript coding between the <Head></Head> tags. Unfortunately this posting wouldn't let me do that but if you go to:

www.kirupa.com/developer/...erless.asp (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/borderless.asp)

you can find the coding all laid out for you. Otherwise go to this site & pick the section called "Chromeless":

www.microbians.com/ (http://www.microbians.com/)

Here you can download the newest .js plugin needed and read up on what this Borderless Window is all about. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I did exactly as the tutorials said, only their's worked and mine didn't. I appreciate any help you can give me! Thanks
