Question

I have a flash application that utilizes a lot of popup title windows that do not have parent containers. I’m having a problem when users with smaller resolutions try to use my application because the popup utility windows will often be too large.

Note that I do not want to re-size the window as that would eliminate a lot of it’s clarity and separation of menu bars and tool icons. I just want my application to detect if the window has a height or width property greater than that of the browser’s view frame and then activate the respective scroll bar should it be needed.

Any thoughts on how I can do this are appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

I eventually caved and decided that it was bad design to try and force my application to use the browser’s scrolling. Now if the pop-up is too large it resizes to fit and forces scrolling on the TitleWindow or component instead.
