Flash :: Launch Fullscreen From One Swf To Another

Near Fullscreen Launch Without Fullscreen - How To?
Maybe someone can help: how to code a flash launch so that it takes up nearly, but not all of, the users' screen with a browser window?

I dislike flash that takes over the entire window opening fullscreen, this is hostile programming like popups ..

I'd like to be able though, to open the window nearly fullscreen, eg 10 pixel border, and minimize most of the browser bars, eg status window etc... ideas on how to code this?

much appreciated!

All I wanted is...
1)I have a usual html page where u choose enter or download plugin.
2)When click on enter button launch flash site fullscreen.

Can somebody tell me where I go wrong...
Pls help!!!

Auto Launch Fullscreen Browser From A Timeline
I have seen the onclick scripts for fullscreen and the fullscreen projector ones.............but what I need to do is make a browser window that opens centered and focused and fullscreen on page loading by itself.

Can I launch a browser window at frame 0 with the same url and have it then close the window that started the launch automatically?

What is the easiest way? I have done it in frame 0 of a flash timeline but only for projector exes.

I would appreciate seeing the entire code which will work on the internet for browsers.

Thanks

[AS FLASH8] - Loading Fullscreen External SWF's Into A Fullscreen SWF
Hey guys, sorry if this gets confusing I'm trying to explain the best I can.

Here's what I'm having a problem with: http://golibersuch.com/c/mnsm3.html

What I've done is created a "fullscreen SWF" by using ActionScript to stretch a movie clip (yellow rectangle) in the background to fill the whole browser frame. The navigation is positioned in the upper left using ActionScript also; when the user resizes the window, positions are adjusted so the nav always stays in the upper left. (Adapting the technique from http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorial...retching/13567)

External SWFs are loaded from an XML file into a blank movie clip on a layer that is between the yellow background and the navigation (adapting the kirupa XML Photo Gallery). Here's my problem: I want to be able to create full screen backgrounds for these external SWFs so when they are loaded into the main SWF they cover up all the of yellow background of the main clip. Also if the user resizes the window, I hope like the main SWF, the background on the external SWF can also resize to match.

If you press next twice to get to item three for example, I want to be able to stretch that orange box to fill the entire background. You'll notice if you resize the window on the third item, the orangle rectangle will adjust, it's just not correct. Any ideas? Maybe I'm going about this wrong. If this helps, a zip of all related files including .fla can be found here: http://golibersuch.com/c/mnsm.zip

Thanks! Any input would be appreciated.

From 'fullscreen' To 'normal'. Fullscreen Still Active?
Hi,

I have a window that's set to fullscreen. I would like to open another window from there that's not fullscreen and lose the fullscreen window.

Actualy I'd like to skip the fullscreen so I put a javascript on the page:

window.open('theURL', '_blank');
window.close();

The URL is opened but in fullscreen. How do I get rid of it?

ThanX for any suggestions.

FLVPlayback Fullscreen When Stage Is Fullscreen?
Hello, a bit of a newb to AS3 but can't find any answers to this.

I have my stage set to fullscreen and Exact_Fit.

stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;

I did this because I don't want any borders and I want the swf to fit the screen entirely. I have videos i am displaying using the FLVPlayback with a skin that has the fullscreen button. When I click the fullscreen button, the stage is made smaller, nothing happens with the size of the video. I also have the fullScreenTakeOver property set to false. If I have it set to true, the video loads fullscreen, which is not what i want, need it to load at the normal size (800 x 600).

note:: If I do not have the stageDisplayState = FULL_SCREEN, and I have fullScreenTakeOver = true, everything works fine but the stage is in window mode and does not take up the entire screen.

Any Help is GREATLY Appreciated!!

Thanks!

Custom Fullscreen Button VS Component Fullscreen Button
So, I have been playing around with fullscreen FLV movies. There is one thing that I notice that is irritating the heck out of me. When i use the fullscreen component, the video goes fullscreen and the video gets automatically smoothed out. When I use my own button to go fullscreen its all pixelated. I have some code to smooth it out, however it seems to eats ram like a fat kid who hasn't ate in days, especially on celerons.

The code i use to smooth the video is this

Code:

stop();
function startMe(event:MouseEvent):void
{
vid.skinScaleMaximum = 1;
vid.enterFullScreenDisplayState();
vid.getVideoPlayer(vid.activeVideoPlayerIndex).smoothing = true;
this.gotoAndPlay(2)
}
playinFull.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startMe);

Does anyone know how to get the same results that the component uses, as it seems not to eat as much ram?

It also seems if i set the video player skin not to scale the interpolation gets lost on the video.

Launch An EXE From An EXE Help In MX
I am going crazy! I recently upgraded from Flash 5 to MX 2004. In the past I have made autoplay cds using flash as the menu and was able to launch another flash exe from that menu using this code on a button:

on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "folder/start.exe");
}

Now, for some reason, this code will not launch the specified exe file. I assume this has changed from v5 to MX2004. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help.

Launch Pdf From A Swf
Hi there,

I have a swf (not a projector) file, in this file I have a button that opens a pdf file using getURL method.

On MAC, since my client wants to have auto-open property for the CD, I burn hybrid cd. But when the cd is burned this way, if the button is clicked the pdf file is not opened but it's location on a finder window is displayed. If I ommit the auto-open and burn th cd as usual then everything works perfect.

Is there any workaround for this?

Any help is deeply appreciated.

Thanx in advance for your time.

Launch A PDF
I need my CD-based Flash presentation to launch PDF files. I have a link to launch the file, but for some reason it always defaults to the browser rather than the stand-alone Adobe Reader. How can I change this?

From another user I now know I can get a distributable version of Reader to include on the CD and I can use the exec command to launch that application with a button push, BUT, how do I actually target the PDF to only open in Reader?

I have not set up the exec command yet nor downloaded the distributable Reader software, but I have opened Adobe Reader, then launched the Flash presentation and then clicked my PDF link. It still ignores the open Reader and goes straight for the browser. AGGGGHHH!!

Launch PDF
I'm looking for ideas.

Up to now I've used Flash 8 to launch swf files and it has worked terrifically for that. Now, however, I have an application where I need to launch pdf files within a flash environment. Can Flash do that? Also, is there a way that Flash can search through these pdf files as in a "user search." Thank you very much.

EXE On A CD Won't Launch A PDF
Hi - When building and testing my project I was able to launch PDFs in a separate browser window. The PDFs are in a folder within the project. When I burn the project on a CD, the Mac Projector opens Acrobat Reader in a Safari window and shows the PDF...as expected. On the Win XP side, the EXE performs fine except for this feature.

I'm using a link in some text to do this:
<a href="SP/_PDFs/p579sp.pdf " target="_blank">.

How can I get this to work on Windows the way it works on Mac?

TIA your experienced input.

Every Time I Launch MX. . .
Every time I launch the Flash MX application, if I'm not using my internet connection at home, it tries to establish one by using my modem. What is going on and how can I turn that off?
I don't want to use a modem and I don't always need a connection while I'm working.
Is it trying to connect to one of the help features or something?

How Can I Launch A .pdf In Acrobat From A .swf?
Hi.

Need some help here. I created a Flash animation intro that will be seen on a CD-ROM. Once the .swf animation ends, a button is seen that, when pressed, should launch a .pdf file in Acrobat.

My problem is that when the button is pressed the .pdf launches in Explorer (and underneath the .swf). My question is can I make the .pdf launch solely in Acrobat (and launch above the .swf as well)??? If so give me a run down of what the actions should be in the Flash button.

Thanks for you time and help in this matter.
