Advanced WebPage opening Just wanted to show this to you people if someone else needs to do something like this :) I've been working on this problem for awhile and come up with a solution that's a blend of Director , embPERL and Javascript.. but I'm still having one problem. Example, this is a command I run from Director (this one is for IE): baRunProgram(baReadRegString ( "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppPaths\iexplore.exe", "", "", "hkey_local_machine" ) && "javascript:window.open ('http://siggi.icelandcomplete.is:81/redir.phtml/www.icelandcomplete.is','','fullscreen,scrollbars')", "Maximised", TRUE) This is linked to a script on a "temp" webserver on my computer.. I open this from inside my multimedia with a command that switches res (to a higher one) and then opens the browser like that (except ofcoz the url changes). I then make that program wait for the termination of the browser before it changes the resolution back and returns to the multimedia. Here is the script I have in the projector I compile as "browser.exe". I then run that from my "main" projector with the target URL as the command line parameter. If anyone has questions or ideas, just post them here or email me at siggi@icelandcomplete.is Btw.. I don't think this works with netscape (yet!) anyone know if netscape has a fullscreen mode? This will open the default browser in fullscreen targeted at an url (and I added the extra bar at top etc. with a perl script) and wait for you to close it (with the close button on my extra bar) on moviestart me -- Get the command parameters passed to the program set CommandArgsToParse = baCommandArgs() set WebToOpen = item 1 of CommandArgsToParse -- Find the default browser set uu = baFindApp( "htm" ) if uu contains "iexplore.exe" then -- Internet Explorer set defaultBrowserinn = baReadRegString ( "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\iexplore.exe", "", "", "hkey_local_machine" ) end if if uu contains "netscape.exe" then -- Netscape Navigator set defaultBrowserinn = baReadRegString ( "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\netscape.exe", "", "", "hkey_local_machine" ) end if -- Make the string to pass to the browser set test11 = "javascript:window.open ('http://siggi.icelandcomplete.is:81/redir.phtml/" & WebToOpen & "','','fullscreen,scrollbars')" -- Now run the default browser baRunProgram(defaultBrowserinn && test11, "Maximised", FALSE) -- Save the handler for the first window (the one that spawns the fullscreen one) set oldBWin = baNextActiveWindow(0) baWaitTillActive(oldBWin) -- Wait for the other window to open and get "active" repeat while oldBWin = baActiveWindow() nothing end repeat -- Save the handler to the new window set newBWin = baNextActiveWindow(0) -- Close the old window (the one that "spawned" the fullscreen one) baCloseWindow(oldBWin) -- Set the new window handler set newBWin = baActiveWindow() -- And wait for that to close baWaitForWindow( newBWin , "closed" , 0 ) -- And quit when that's done.. quit
