Full Screen Flash Projector Reverts To Windowed When Exiting Screen Saver
I've created a flash projector that displays a companies product catalog on a 50" touch screen plasma display.
It looks great and plays great if I launch the projector and force it to full screen.
However, since this is a plasma, screen burn in is a major issue to contend with.
I've set the Windows screensaver to activate after one minute of inactivity.
The problem is that when the screensaver is exited by a touch, the flash projector that was running in full screen mode is now back in windowed mode so CTRL-F has to be hit to force it to full screen again.
This isn't good.
So, I guess my question is two-fold:
Is it possible to programatically force the projector to full screen mode so that no user intervention is required? (fscommand works on the first launch, but when the screensaver kicks in, all bets are off.)
And/Or
How would I go about creating a timer to activate an internal screensaver and insert it into the actionscript for the XML gallery?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick

How To Make Flash Screen Saver Always Fit Screen?
hi.
i'm trying to make a screen saver just for the pleasure of myself and a few close friends in my team. i've searched everywhere but have not found an answer to the following problem. although i use this command:
Code:
fscommand("fullscreen", true);
in the first frame of my movie, the screen saver does not fit the screen all around as it should. yes, it does scale to a certain extent, but only according to the dimensions of the original fla, that is, it'll stretch only horizontally or vertically until the stage limit leaving a gap either to the top or sides... and this won't do as my friends have different stage dimensions as me.
so. can someone please tell me what i'm missing? i'm using flashforge to produce the .scr. i've tried with trial versions of a couple of similar converters, but the problem persists. must be something with my .fla settings.
wise words will be much appreciated here!

Hey each,

I'm doing a rolling presentation for a computer show in flash 5. I could do with a bit of code that will allow me to put a screensaver on it. ie: an mc has a pause on it for something like 60 seconds, and then when the mouse is moved it goes back to the main movie.

Is this possible?

Screen Saver HELP ::
Hello there,

Has been a well since last time I came here for help. Thanks to some of you I have finished this cool project . check it out www.australian-lamb.com Then again thanks for your help.

Now, I am working on creating a screen saver for PCs (Windows NT and 2000) and I am on the need of some directions of how to create an installed file where I can tell windows to run a .swf as a screen saver. Also I would like get some pointers to set up my .swf file within action script t resize itself to whatever monitor resolution people are using.

I found some cool screen saver on this site, http://www.defected.co.uk/main.html if you have the time check it out, installed and you will see what you are talking about..

Tell Me What You Think. - Screen Saver
I was having a little fun thinking of new screen savers to make with kuler. This is my first one with help from one of Keith Peters old projects.

http://gfxcomplex.com/blog/uncategor...up-with-kuler/

PS: be sure to go into full screen mode by clicking on the stage. Since this is suppose to be a screen saver it does not look right small.

tell me what you think as please.

thanks

Screen Saver Maker
hi there

I was wondering if there is a posibility to create a screen saver in flash, but with dynamic content.

with a .txt file for exemple in loadvariable.

it's kind of urgent if someone knows

thanks!

Dynamic Screen Saver
here is waht i've been told :

"You need to create an intermediary script file of sorts in any common Web language (ASP,PHP,ColdFusion, etc...) and have set up a "checkpoint" variable.

When the variable's value changes, this will create an action against your movie.

On the FLA side, setup your movie to check against that script however often you want to update.

Understand this will only allow you to update text information, not graphics."

but how do i do this?

i meen where do i put the "common web language"? directly in the fla? or in a file that i load?

pleeeeeeeease help me!

Question On Screen Saver
Hey guys, any info on how the movie clips be converted into a screen saver? I really wanted to know if how it is being done...your help is very much appreciated...thanx

Triggered Screen Saver
I am building a fairly extensive "virtual tour" of various technology laboratories in Flash MX. This will be used in a kiosk for visitors to randomly access throughout the day. One of the requests I have is to have a flash movie (a screen saver basically) kick in after a period of inactivity. When a new user walks up to the kiosk and deactivates the screen saver, the virtual tour needs to start over at the beginning.

Is this possible with Flash? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Screen Saver Slideshow
Hi all,
I have a main swf file, I would like to create a slideshow or screeen saver if the main swf did not recieve a response from the user. My main swf file has menus you could choose from so it will be cool if the main swf file knows that nothing is happening and thats when the slideshow or screen saver will appear. But it should appear on the main swf file only. Is this possible? Thanks!
