Flash :: [F8] Fullscreen Flash (press Esc To Exit Full Screen Mode)

[AS3.0] Working With The "Press Esc To Exit Full Screen Mode"
this site rocks!

I got my flash to work in SWF the way I want it to - going into Full Screen mode.

Flash automatically displays a message "Press Esc to exit full screen mode" which fades after a while

Where do I find this to edit it???

Is it a componenent?

My code is all in the documentClass as file and associated as files for the various classes I use. I have very little on the stage in flash itself - and intend to take stuff off there and move it all into classes as I get more knowledgeable about AS3.0...

Exit After Escaping Out Of Full Screen Mode.
In Flash MX, how would I go about Exiting after escaping out of full screen mode?

Detecting Escape (ESC) Key Press In Full Screen Mode?
Hello all...

My first post on this wonderful forum (I have searched this great resource a great deal before).

I have an FLV player that I have programmed in AS3. The player goes into fullscreen when you press a button.

I have an event listener on the button that changes the stage mode to FULL SCREEN. This act in turn is detected with an event listener on the stage that detects an event.RESIZE.

This all works fine. When you click the button in normal mode I go to full screen mode and vice versa. More importantly the button changes (i.e. I line another button in the place of the previous button using coordinates) in full screen and move it off screen in normal screen so I have a "go full screen" icon button in normal mode and a "back to normal mode" icon on full screen.

MY PROBLEM is... Using the button to go into full screen mode changes the button to the 'close full screen' icon as expected. If I use the close full screen button in full screen mode it changes back. All perfect. My problem however is if I exit the full screen mode using the escape key the button does not change back so I am guessing the event handler is not triggered. Is there a way to detect the event of exiting full screen mode using the escape key rather than a button? The event.RESIZE on the stage does not seem to do it...

Hope that makes sense.

Please help

Exit Fullscreen Mode Needs To Do Something Else~
Hi!
I'm building a flash photogallery that opens into fullscreen. The fullscreen mode looks completely different from the normal state. I've created a button on the stage to go to Fullscreen. It works perfectly. The I also made a button that exits fullscreen which works fine. I've also put a case is the code that checks if you are in Fullscreen and you click the Esc button to close the fullscreen.

Problem 1: For some reason the keyCode check only works once.
Problem 2: When you are in fullscreen mode and then you go to another page or program thats open, the fullscreen escapes but the flash doesn't seem to recognize that it's escaped and closed but does not change the look and feel of the player...

How do i listen when the user leaves the gallery to use something else on their computer?

check this link out if you don't know what i'm talking about.

Exit Fullscreen Mode Issue
Hi!
I'm building a Photo gallery in Actionsctipt 3.0 with a fullscreen option. The Gallery costists of 2 completely different looks in each state. Normal state is a Mini Album Viewer and the Fullscreen state is a different looks that works as a slideshow.

in my constructor I have a listener on my view fullscreen button that essentially toggles the fullscreen.

example:
Code:

viewFSSSBtn.addEventListener(ConfigButton.BTN_RELE ASED, gotoFullscreen);

private function gotoFullscreen(deataEvent):void
{
if(stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL)
{
fullscreen.visible = true;
minialbumview.visible = false;
stage.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle (fsss.scaleFullSreenBox.x,fsss.scaleFullSreenBox.y ,fsss.scaleFullSreenBox.width,fsss.scaleFu llSreenBox.height);
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, checkKeyPressed);
}
else
{
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
fullscreen.visible = false;
minialbumview.visible true;
}
}

Issue 1:
in the fullscreen mode when you click esc the the flash exits the fullscreen but does not recognize what mode it's in and keeps the fullscreen.visible = true;
I put a key pressed check on the constructor:

Code:

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkKeyPressed);

function checkKeyPressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.ESCAPE)
{
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
fullscreen.visible = false;
minialbumview.visible true;
}
}

This check works once...why?

Issue 2:
If you have multiple monitors and you are in the fullscreen mode on one screen then you go to work on something else on the other screen the fullscreen exits. Is there a way to keep the fullscreen going? If not how can I tell what mode it's in? For some reason it exits fullscreen but stays the fullscreen state. meaning the fullscreen is visible.

Please help!

Easing In Full Screen Flash Mode
I've successfully gotten my background to scale to the browser window, my question is this:

Is there anyway to get my movie clip (mc) to ease into the center postion, right now it simply jumps to the middle. Basically, I am looking to mimick the effect found on this site, without the bounce.

http://www.nulldesign.de/engine.nd

Here is my code thus far:

Code:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";
bkg._width = Stage.width;
bkg._height = Stage.height
var stageXCenter = Stage.width * .5;
var stageYCenter = Stage.height * .5;
stageXCenter = stageXCenter - (mc._width * .5);
stageYCenter = stageYCenter - (mc._height * .5);
mc._x = stageXCenter;
mc._y = stageYCenter;

var stageListener:Object = new Object ();

stageListener.onResize = function () {
bkg._width = Stage.width;
bkg._height = Stage.height;

var stageXCenter = Stage.width * .5;
var stageYCenter = Stage.height * .5;

// Offset the center point with half of
// the clip width and height
// (you can also use the -= operator and simply this)
stageXCenter = stageXCenter - (mc._width * .5);
stageYCenter = stageYCenter - (mc._height * .5);

// place the clip with the offset
mc._x = stageXCenter;
mc._y = stageYCenter;
}
Stage.addListener (stageListener);
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

Flash Player 9 - Full Screen Mode
Can anyone point me in the right direction for creating full screen swf in html as the demo's below.

Flash Player In Full Screen Mode Issue
On most video's, including all videos on MSNBC, when I go to full screen mode I am getting jittery video..almost like its missing every other frame or something. I am running SLI mode in nVidia 7950 GT's with a core duo 2.0's, 177.89 nvidia drivers. I've tried numerous different drivers.

Here is the weird part, when I am in full screen mode and right click to bring up " Adobe Flash Player Settings", all the sudden the video plays correctly (except I have the box in the middle of the screen). When I get rid of the box, the video goes back to being choppy. This only happens in full screen mode. I am running a 30" Apple Cinema display. Running the latest Flash Player 9.

Flash Video: Full Screen Mode And Captions
I am using an flvplayback component and an flvplaybackcaption component to create a video with captions read from an external xml file. The captions from the xml are read into a dynamic text box just below the video player. I am using a default Flash skin with full screen and caption icons.

Upon entering full screen mode, the captions default to play at the bottom of the video, just above the video controls - which is just what I want.

However, if I turn off captions in full screen mode, and then exit full screen mode, I no longer have control of captions when not in full screen mode. IE, I cannot get captions back on after exiting full screen mode, and the caption button in the skin becomes useless. If I re-enter full screen mode and enable captions, then when I exit full-screen mode, I have my normal usage of captions.

Has anyone run into this before? Or is this a known bug? And does anyone know of a work around?

Flash Player Starting Up In Full Screen Mode..

Exit Button For A Full Screen External .swf
This is prbably something really easy, but I've looked every where and can't find the answer.

I've loaded a full screen game.swf into my project and now I need a button to exit out of it. I used:

this.loadMovie("game.swf", "window". 5);

but now I can't get a button on top of the fullscreen game to exit to my _root. I don't think the game is actually loading into the mc "window", so I can't just drop my exit button into "window". Maybe if someone knows how to change the _level of my button, that might work.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I am trying to have things set so that when someone visits my site, the movietakes up the full browser window and not just part of it. I can resize the flash object within Frontpage or Dreamweaver, but this does not help much with different screen resolutions.

I have been told that this cannot be done without an extension, can someone please confirm?

Mailto's In Full Screen Mode
Hi All,

I have a flash project that opens up fullscreen. I have email addresses on my project's contact page. The coding I have for linking the email is...

on (release) {
getURL("mailto:name@something.com", "_blank");
}

It opens the email window but just for a spilt second then goes behind the full screen. I tried everything, for example... making it fullscreen false, the address, then true again or making it a fullscreen html page. Nothing worked.

Do anyone know of the correct script or work around for opening up an email screen on top of my .exe .

Full Screen Mode Question
Hey everyone,

I have this video set up with the following code:

Code:
fullScreenButton.onRelease = function (){
goFullScreen();
}

function goFullScreen()
{
Stage["displayState"] = "fullScreen";
}
function exitFullScreen()
{
Stage["displayState"] = "normal";
}

{
fullscreenCM.hideBuiltInItems();
}
And it works just fine, but I'm wondering if there's any way for me to have the player controls disappear when it's in full screen mode so that all you see is the video.

Here's what I have so far:

You click on the video for full screen.

Thanks.

After Full Screen Mode: No Focus
I am developing a video player where the user can switch to full screen mode: works fine! However, when the user goes back to normal mode, e.g. by hitting ESC, then the application loses focus. That means that the user first has to click into the application and then he can click one of its buttons. Of course, this is confusing. Any workaround?

Full Screen Mode Breaks Everything?
I have an app that consists of a video and overlays that occasionally appear on top of the video. This works fine when not in full screen mode, but when in fullscreen, the overlays simply don't appear. WTF? I need to demo this in an hour and I can't figure out how to fix it....please help!

Full Screen Mode Is Not Allowed?
Hey, I'm kinda noob in AS3 or even Flash, but i wanna make my swf load some flv file in a video instance and make it fullscreen.

the flv loading is a success, but to make it fullscreen is a different matter.

I use a standalone actionscript file :

ActionScript Code:
private function fullScreenBtnClick(e:MouseEvent) {
try {
switch(stage.displayState) {
case StageDisplayState.NORMAL:
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
trace(stage.displayState);
break;
case StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN:
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
trace(stage.displayState);
break;
}
} catch (err:SecurityError) {
}
}

When i test the movie, i can't go fullscreen and the trace says "null".
so, I just decide to publish it anyway.
I already use this tag at my page :

ActionScript Code:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="400" height="400" id="testplay" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
[b]<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />[/b]
<param name="movie" value="testplay.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="testplay.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="400" height="400" name="testplay" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

When I publish it in my site, this warning shows up at the browser

ActionScript Code:
SecurityError: Error #2152: Full screen mode is not allowed.
at flash.display::Stage/set displayState()
at FLVPlayer$iinit()

I can't play the flv (the video instance isn't showing) but I still can go fullscreen...

What is wrong with that... Can someone help me with that?

Full Screen Mode On Start Up
i want to enable full screen mode automatically when i play the swf file using adobe flash player (not embing it in the web page, just by running the adobe flash player alone), without select the 'view full screen' option

is it possible?

FLVPlayback In Full Screen Mode
While in Full Screen mode (in Flash Player), an error occurs when entering a frame that contains a FLVPlayback component and a button within a MovieClip. The error is thrown during the attempt to "addEventListener" to the button. The error only occurs in Full Screen mode though, and only if a FLVPlayback component is present.

To recreate the error, open this file in the latest Flash Player (not plugin), and click the buttons:
Sample SWF

The source file can be found here:
The Source

Can anyone explain what's going on with the Full Screen mode that would cause the error when attempting to assign an EventListener to a button?

Thanks!
