Flash :: Launching 3rd Party Apps From Flash While In Full Screen Mode

Full Screen Mode Cancelled By Launching PDF In Browser Window
There are quite a few of these posts on here. After Flash 9 the fullscreen fscommand no longer retains its fullscreen display if you use getURL to launch a browser window to display either a web page or a PDF. All of the previous posts have been "answered" by the Flash Jester Jugglor Support Team, unashamedly plugging JSTART and JUGGLOR to everyone raising this issue. When all we really need is a response from Adobe on how we can fix this - because it's obviously a BUG - and serves no real purpose. I DON'T want to buy JUGGLOR, I tried it years ago and found it buggy and unfathomable. All I want is to be able to keep my fullscreen!

The cynic in me wonders whether FlashJester might be owned by Adobe in some way, and by introducing this bug they're hoping to raise additional revenue from selling all those copies of JUGGLOR....?

Full Screen Mode With Flash MX

Launching A Full Screen Flash Page
Hi guys,

i am new here and very new to Flash scripting and not much of a coder at all...

i am trying to do a piece in flash and have figured out how to make it fun full screen...

now here's the problem, with Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"; on the first frame it doesn't really scale the swf...

what i really want to do is take Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"; out but then be able to see the swf play with out distortion... is that possible?

how do you go about retrieving the width and the height inside of the browser window and go about applying it in actionscript so the height is always 100% and the width is always scales proportionally so the swf doesn't get distorted?

i am totally at a loss of thought right now..

so as a newbie, any help would be greatly appreciated...

and many thanks in advance...

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.

I have installed the Flash 9 public Alpha

Thanks, Gareth.

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..
Does anybody know of a script that can be put into the "Start up" area of Windows so the flash player will open automatically in full screen mode?
If not a script, just any way to get the Flash Player to default in full screen mode at start up?

Forcing Flash Player To Play At Full Screen Mode

[F8] Fullscreen Flash (press Esc To Exit Full Screen Mode)
Hi all,
I would like to have a button that onRelease makes the flash content go fullscreen (you know, when that message appears - press Esc to exit full screen mode). I need it with AS2. I have found an AS3 code, that actually works with Flash8, but only for IE. Does anybody have an AS2 code, that works with all browsers? Thank you

Here is the AS3 code, if anybody needs it.
The code is on a button or movieclip:

on (press) {
if (Stage["displayState"] == "normal") {
Stage["displayState"] = "fullScreen";
}else
Stage["displayState"] = "normal"
}

and add <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/> in the HTML.

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?

Thanks

otedpad.exe);
}

I know that this is not right (getting errors).

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:

http://www.24fans.net/videos/season_7_trailers/test/

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!

How Can I Display My Site In Full Screen Mode
I have worked with the FScommand for setting the fullscreen to true.

When i open the SWF file alone it displays in Fullscreen, but if i open the HTML document, e.g. Index.htm which open the SWF file it displays the Internet Explorer menu and thus it is not in Full Screen mode. How can i lose the IE menu?

A solution to this is much appreciated.
