Mac Projector Fullscreen Bug
At this point I am just asking to confirm because I have a very ticked off client:

Does the Flash MX 2004 Mac Projector still have the problem of killing the fullscreen if another movie is loaded into _level0? Even if that movie has a "fullscreen=true"?

All the resources describing this bug were dated at least 2 years ago (With my favorite quote: "Hopefully Macromedia will resolve this issue soon") and I wanted to hear a more recent answer. I apologize if I missed the thread on US that answers this question - I did search for it first.

It looks like I get to recode a 400 Meg CD. Any light anyone can shed on this problem would be, by me, appreciated.

Thanks.

Fullscreen Projector Problem
Hi there !

I have made a projector which opens in Fullscreen and in my movie I have links to PDF files (many files).

When I click to see the first it works ok...

If I don't close the pdf and click on the next link then the file won't show because it is loaded behind the fullscreen projector.
...after that everything stops working !

Is there any way to make them all open in front of the fullscreen projector ?

Any solution to this ????

Thanx in advance !

Pdf Loading Behind Fullscreen Projector
Hello,

I would be grateful if somebody could give me some advice on the following problem...

I have created a fullscreen Flash projector which loads an external pdf file when you click a button.
The button has the following script on it:

on (release) {
getURL("mypdffile.pdf", _blank);
}

My problem is that on windows XP the pdf browser window loads behind the fullscreen projector, so the user doesn't get the chance to see it. On windows 2000 the browser loads correctly in front. How do I make sure that it always loads on top of the projector?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Projector On Fullscreen Troubles
Let's say we want to send away a a portfolio as a projector(*.exe) file.
Know someone opens the file and can see the movie in the exact resolution, but with his desktop or whatever in the background, so he will use fullscreen button on the right corner of the movie, wo that jpegs and pixelfonts will blur...

can i force the projector to use 100% view instead of the view all? so that the movie doesn't change his resolution?

thanks to all

Fullscreen Projector File,
can anyone help,,, I need to create a full screen presentation but I don't want my 800x600 movie to be stretched to the size of whatever screen is viewing it. What would be ideal is a white boarder placed around the movie to the size of the screen.

Many thanks,

Problem Going Fullscreen On Projector
I am loading several movies with the flvplayback component at the same time but when the projector goes full screen Flash seems to be picking up the first video it finds and only showing that fullscreen and nothing else.

I have Flash CS3 and I am using actionscript 3.

I am using:

Code:
fscommand ("fullscreen", "true");
fscommand ("allowscale", "false");
fscommand ("showmenu", "false");

Kiosk, Mac Projector FullScreen
I've created a mac projector and it goes fullscreen but you still see the application window. How can I make a mac projector NOT show the application window and just go entirely fullscreen? This doesn't happen with a windows exe file nor with .swf. The file runs faster and smoother as a projector so finding a solution to this would be ideal.

Thanks!

Fullscreen Video In Projector
Hi!

Are buildning a stand-alone flash application CD-ROM use.
The application contains video (720*405) and i want it to be able to play fullscreen.

I've seen a few scripts for this but as I can see the basic idea is to manually resize the video (no command for fullscreen).

I use these lines;

myVideo.maintainAspectRatio = true;
myVideo.setSize(System.capabilities.screenResolutionX,System.capabilities.screenResolutionY);

The result is full width and almost full height (I have 4:3 monitor). I want to maintain aspectratio ...

I also want the space on top and on the bottom to be black so I create 2 moviclips and fill them with a black box.

My question is if this is the best/most optimal way. I quess it demands a lot of CPU and memory. Have read that Jugglor handles the cashing problems, is that true?

Problem With Projector And Fullscreen
Hi,

Can anyone confirm a problem with fullscreen in the latest player 9,0,115,0:

When I use getURL to launch a browser window, or make an exec call with
fscommand, the standalone projector jumps out of fullscreen.

quote:fscommand("fullscreen", true);

and
quote: on(release){
getURL("http://www.mylink.com", "_blank");
}

I'm using CS3.
Any ideas?

Fullscreen Flash Projector
Hello everybody.

I used to make fullscreen Flash websites, using 100x100 width/height and "No Scale" on Publish Settings.
Everything is ok on a browser, since I can position elements using relative coordinates for liquid layouts.

Now I have to make a fullscreen standalone .exe projector.

To get fullscreen I use fscommand("fullscreen", "true") on the first frame and it works.

The problem is:

If I create a 1024x768 Flash movie, even with 100x100 and "No Scale" activated, the movie remains at 1024x768.
So, if I trace stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight, those remain respectively at "1024" and "768", but I need for the movie to get the max width and max height available on the system.

In the browser it happens automatically, but in the Flash projector it doesn't.

*** So, how can I get the movie to match the exact size of the screen where it runs? ***

I've tried with Capabilities.screenResolutionX and Y but there is no way (and I think it's normal) to set the stage.width and stage.height properties on runtime.

Thank you.

Windowless Non-fullscreen Projector?
Hi.

1) Is there any way to create windowless non-fullscreen projector with Flash CS3?...
2) Or even better "masked" projector applications (where the window will be able to take any shape depending on a mask, and not only rectanlge shape)?
3) Or at least any way to change the title of the projector's window? ...

Or we are "doomed" with every non-fullscreen projector application to suffer from the "Adobe Flash Player 9" window title?.... :/...

When I use the GetURL command to open a web page from within flash the browser opens the screen minimised. I was told that this can be done via javascript. Is there a way of doing it without?

Thanks for any help.

GetURL + Fullscreen
I have an swf that runs in full screen mode. In the bottom right of the swf, I have a button that links to a website. The problem is, since the swf is running in fullscreen, when you click on the button, you do not see the webpage load until you have closed the flash movie.

Is there a way to make the webpage load on top of the swf?

Thanks in advance

FullScreen HTML Pop-up From Flash Projector.exe
Please help. I am trying to launch a fullscreen html page from a flash projector file. Reason for this is that I have a cdrom project. When the auto run launches the projector runs in full screen mode. When I geturl from the projector an html page pops up no problem. Problem is the viewer has access to the taskbar. If the viewer clicks down to the projector movie from the taskbar it goes back to the projector and the html page is now behind the movie. Now they can no longer launch new browser windows in front because they now pop up behind. So I thought to solve this I would launch a fullscreen html page with a close window option, but I can not seem to figure how to do this from a flash projector file. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Center A Loadmove Swf On A Fullscreen Projector
What I need to do is make a full screen background that loads a fixed size 800x600 movie that is always centered to background no mater what size monitor it is view upon. So if it is 800 x 600 monitor, it is fills the screen, but if it is a larger monitor, the movie does not enlarge, is just centered in the bigger background.

What is the Actionscript for the loading projector file?

Thanks, Mike Stewart

How Do I Get A Black Fullscreen Border Around My Projector?
I have a flash project size 800 x 600 and I want it to run with just black in the background. can anyone help? Thanks

FullScreen Projector File With Video At 100%
Hello fellow FLASHERS. I need help to get a projector file running that includes video. Here is the problem: I need to cause the projector to run FullScreen without scaling the video file. I have the Flash files set up as two separate documents. In the file #1 I have my content and the navigation that will control the entire presentation. In file #2, I have the imported QuickTime movie which is imported and embedded in Flash, not as an external QuickTime. The QuickTime movie needs to stay at 640 x 480 no matter what size a person's monitor may be. My source Flash file (#1) is 800 x 600. For example: if the monitor is 1600 x 1200 the main Flash file (#1) will scale 200%. I have actions set up to loadMovie #2 into _level1 (the Flash file with the Quicktime imported). I don't want it to inherit the scale property of the host Flash file (#1). I tried to use a blank movieclip with an instance name of Scaler in the #1 file and check its _xscale to see if it had been scaled and then load the appropriate one of several versions of the SWF with the QuickTime embedded. The only problem with doing it that way is that I have to make 4 versions of the movie: 800x600; 1024x768; 1280x1024; 1600x1200 so that the #1 file will have all the options to load the correct movie. I have had success in getting this to work by calculating the scale factor into the varoius sized versions of the movie and making the embedded QuickTime movie smaller. (In the above example I had to make the 640 x 480 movie 320 x 240 and set the center of the movie in a file that was 1600 x 1200 to 400 x 300. I know I am probably not explaining this very well, but if you have questions please post and I will watch the boards closely. --- THANKS!!

[F8] Locking Fullscreen Projector Mode
Is there a way to lock the fullscreen mode of the projector (standalone app) ?. I have a touchpanel interface which works to what is similar to a kiosk mode, and the client would like to disable the functionality that allows the user to move to a windowed mode, and keep it full screen at all times.

Instead, they would like the user to explicitly press a "quit" or "logout" button so that the action can be tracked and logged as to who quit and when they did it (server side communication between my app and the server will handle that).

I was figuring on using the fscommand to quit off the button event but only after I throw up an 'are you sure ...' type of deal.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

Flash Projector Fullscreen Problem
I'm building an interactive touch screen display for a client, using Flash CS3 under Vista 32-bit and 64-bit.

A projector -- the entry point to the application -- is set to go into fullscreen mode at load time (using fscommand) and works fine. It calls a SWF which is essentially a menu - a gateway to other menus, videos and slide shows, all in SWF form, that are called from this first menu or from within other SWFs.

Problem is, the intro screen runs fine, and the first SWF it calls runs fine, but the next layer (called by the first SWF) show a black screen on load. Escaping to windowed mode lets them work perfectly, but that would defeat the purpose of the entire project, which is to have the thing run as a full screen application from which the viewer can't escape without a keyboard.

Anyone with any experience on this kind of thing? Pointers to sources of good data also welcome.

Thanks!

Flash FullScreen Projector [fscommand]
Hi

$$fullscreen = true;
}

Projector Fullscreen Movie Sizing, What's Best?

Browser Window And Projector Fullscreen
Hi everybody,

I have a projector that I play fullscreen on Mac and on Windows.

In the projector I have links that open websites in a web browser window. When I play the projector on Mac, the browser window opens in front of the Projector's window, but on Windows, the browser is hidden by the projector's window.

Does anyone know a way to put the browser window in front of the projector, on Windows?

Fullscreen, Geturl, Browser Not On Top
I have a projector that calls an html page.
The projector opens fullscreen. If Internet Explorer
is not opened, the action calling the html page will
open the browser on top of the projector.
However, if Internet Explorer is already opened, when
I click the geturl it loads the html page but the browser
stays under the fullscreen projector. Is there a way to make sure
that the browser will open on top.
I have tried giving it the _top attribute in the window
box whatever that means! Nothing!!!
