Full screen with no scrollbars

I use this code when a button is clicked in flash
on (release) {

getURL("javascript:openNewWindow('main.html','thewin','fullscreen=yes,toolbar=no
,scrollbars=no') ");
}
and a code in the html page

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>
function openNewWindow(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures) {
newWindow=window.open(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures);
}
</SCRIPT>
okay so, when i click the button, main.html opens in full screen but i still
have a scrollbar on the right, even though in the code of the button i
specified no scrollbars "scrollbars=no".
I'm really suck. Any ideas how i can get rid of the scrollbar?
I asked the same thing in the flash forums but they said that i might find the
answer here.

Thanks

Not really a good idea to remove the scrollbars, you could add
scoll="no" to the body tag of the opening page to do what you want though.

That code isn't valid btw so no idea how it performs X browser or X OS.

scroll="no" may work better ;)

well, it is a good idea, beacuse i want to open a flash movie in full screen
and it will have an exit button, but how to open it in full screen without
scrollbars? the code that i posted works for me, it opens in full screen but
with scrollbars. I have IE 6, win XP.
Do you know any other way how to do it?

thanks

Basically, what i need is a button (in a flash movie - swf) when clicked to open a html page in full screen with no scrollbars.
and i would be happy if it worked with ie and maybe netscape.

The code you posted should work in IE/Windows. I think that's the best
you're going to do.

This is a newbie question but i would like to know how to turn scroll bars on
in one of my frames (Navigation frame). I am running Windows XP and Dreamweaver
MX2004 if that makes a difference. Even better if someone knows how to make the
entire site have scrolls bars for all the frames (As a total not a scroll bar
for each frame just one big scroll bar for the entire site). Thanks allot for
your help.

Link to my site:

It's for a game I just started it last night have next to nothing of
web-design knowledge so I would really appreciate your help,

Thanks allot

You're right. It works until you use the fullscreen. When you use
fullscreen, the scroll bar comes back. Sorry.

You cannot.

You'll have a better chance of getting an answer by starting a new
thread for this question instead of having it buried here in this one.

I was in a hurry and saw your thread. I've got some script that I used to send
to friends all the time when they had a similar need. It appears the only
difference is that I used to set that parameters for the browser window in the
Html document rather than trying to pass them from Flash. I didn't get a chance
to test the fullscreen. Try this method.
magicMan

1. In Flash Mx, attach the following script to a button:

on (release) {
getURL("Javascript: popUp('myOtherDoc.html')");
}

2. In Flash, under Publish Settings, select formats: Flash and HTML. In the
html settings,
select "Flash only".

3. Let's say your flash file, from step 2, is called "companyInfo.fla". In
step 2, you should have generated
2 files, companyInfo.swf and companyInfo.html. Go to companyInfo.html and
insert the following with the
<Head> section:

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

5. Again, you're done. You can also change the width and height parameters to
suit your needs. And,
of course, you need to have a file called "myOtherDoc.html" to open (in the
same folder).
