Hi,

Take a look at this page:
http://www.deansdirectortutorials.co.../projector.htm

It may help explain some of the projector settings.

Here's some explanation regarding what your situation

File > Publish Settings - Projector tab
Full Screen - This fills the projector to your entire monitor area. It does not
stretch to fill. If your stage is 800x600 and monitor 1024x768, the 800x600
stage will be in the centre (assuming Centred options are selected) and the
space around the window making up the remainder of the 1024x768 size will be
filled by a solid colour. This solid colour will be the Stage colour. If this
option is unselected, you wont have the surrounding area filled, instead you'll
see the desktop in the 'overflow' area?

Animate in Background - this just means that if you have a projector playing and
you then open another application so make give it the focus, the projector will
still play. If the option is unchecked, when you switch to another application,
the projector will pause.

Does that clarify things?

Your second question - yes, you can have a weblink from a projector. The link
will open the default browser and try open the URL
