What are some of the basics needed to design and develop a Full-Screen Flash site?
- Ex. Publish at 100% (width and height)?
- Some sort of Java Script?
- CSS that allows for this to happen?
I just need a starting point and will be glad to research the rest. Looking for sqare 1.

i've been working with flash for a long time, but there's still something that i don't quite think i'm understanding fully. i see many of these sophisticated photography sites programmed so that the photo fills the whole screen (such asand the photo is crisp and clear on any sized monitor.i know how to set the site to be programmed to fill 100% of the screen, and i know how to "trace bitmap" inside of flash so that the photos work a little better. they then act more like vector images than bitmaps which tend to pixelate when proportions are enlarged. but when i use the "trace bitmap" feature, the flash file often becomes very large size in terms of KB, even when some detailed smaller images are traced.
View 1 RepliesI am creating a full screen projector with flash CS4. In the projector I have more videos, starting from an swf player-
The problem I encounter is this:
The projector starts correctly FULLSCREEN (using AS). The video plays 900x506 correctly. If I click on the player, to get the video full screen, it works. But when I press ESC, not only the video, but also the PROJECTOR looses full screen.
This is a bit annoying. Is there a way to apply the "back to normal size" only to the video? I do not want to prevent the app to be exited from full screen, it's not a problem if the user wants to exit the projector full screen. But not when the user exits the video from fullscreen mode.
How to target only the video?
i would like to hear some feedback on how to seo flash sites using deep linking. I am using swfAddress and swfObject but the urls generated by swfAdress with # anchors are not really seo friendly, google just ignores enything behind the "#" and this could be end in cloaking.
View 2 RepliesI tested my skin for YouTube Chromeless player, and seems it worked properly.All graphic elements, including TLFTextFields, are stored in external SWF, all the AS3 code - in loading SWF.I use ProLoader class to load SWF.However, when I tried to attach Player skin code to my Home Page code, I immediately bumped into two issues:
1. TLFTextFields ceased to display proper font;
2. YouTube Chromeless player ceased to enlarge up to Full Screen width in Full Screen mode, whereas all publishing settings were kept the same...
Although I managed to cope with TLFTextField bug by replacing instances with vars in loaded SWF, I have no the slightest idea what to do with those paddings in Full Screen mode... Neither removing all children on stage before loading YouTube Player skin, nor compulsory resetting player's size can't make it work...
I wnat to display a FLVPlayback full screen the same as when you click on the Full Screen component button.
function goFullScreen():void {
vidPlayer.enterFullScreenDisplayState();
}
var vidPlayer:FLVPlayback;

i am wondering from this code, it makes the stage full screen, does it also makes the content of my movieclips scaled to full screen? i have tried this code and it does not seem to do that, how can i make my content to scale to fill a stage's full screen? i have a Movieclip containing a background with a class to make special effects on the background, i am having trouble making the background be "fullscreened" nicely with the stage.
View 1 Replies// for Full Screen stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;// for the normal screen stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;But this code does not fulfill my requirement. I need Vertical Scroll Bar, even I go to the FullScreen, but I don't find any Scroll with this code.Even I tried "window.open" of JavaScript with ExternalInterface, but I couldnot succeed.

however as soon as i add a video [i will be adding several] the video takes on the full screen property, and that is not the desired effect.I have used several diff ways to import the video but as soon as i call the full screen, it goes to an all black screen.
I'm working on a site right now where the flash player fills the browser window up to 1600x1200 res. The developers I hired are having problems with AS2 when it comes to scaling things and positioning them as the browser window changes size. While it works, the biggest problem is the aspect ratio, keeping the layout looking nice, and the footer keeps dropping off the screen at certain sizes.
Screen res closer to 16:9 looks better laid out than 4:3 and they keep telling me that it has to be proportional when it comes to positioning and scaling, although positions aren't really changing from whatever code they've used. To me, there must be some way so that if looks nice on 16:9, when it goes to 4:3 it will look good too, or even some in between size, they should be able to use code to figure out where things belong, even if it's not perfect. Instead, there are big gaps of dead space on 4:3 and it just looks like crap.
This is also true of background images which fill up about 1/3 of the page on the left or right. As we go down in size they say only a proportionate scale can be used, but sometimes the images are staying too large based on the size of the browser window and should be scaled more. Some of this may be attributed to much of the content being loaded dynamically as the client has us building a CMS, but to me, it's still coordinates and scale when it comes down to it and I don't know why raw percentages must be used instead of some more complex math.
If someone knows how this can be achieved, or can at least point me to web site that has this working properly, I can make sure they investigate further and figure this out before the deadline. I'm adding attachments to illustrate what I'm talking about. I'm using colored blocks to define where dynamic text boxes, icons, footer, images and navigation are. Arrows show where i'd like things to move dynamically.
What's the best practice to scale images in full browser sites? I am new to Flash and have a pretty good understanding of how most things work in Flash. My newest goal is getting Flash to scale 100% on all browsers. But when I do, my pictures become pixelated and I'm sure videos would do this as well. So my question is - what's the best practice or actionscript to keep this from happening? Sites like [URL] that have utilized their abilities to scale their images on any browser are great examples. How can I achieve this?
View 1 RepliesI have an AIR application that will go full screen when the application starts:
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE; The stage size is 2560 x 1024. And I have 2 moniters (1280 x 1024 , 1280 x 1024) When I start the application, it shows my application on one of my moniter only.
I need the left side of the stage to be shown in moniter 1 and right side of the stage to be shown in moniter 2. Currently, both sides are shown in moniter 1, and in moniter 2, it shows nothing but my default desktop. *The blue color line is a divider for better visual purpose. How do I make the left side of the stage to appear in moniter 1 and right side of the stage to appear in moniter 2 when the application starts in full screen mode?
Is a command for AS2 to make my movie file play fullscreen (stretch, fit to screen, anything).
goFullScreen(); is great but it leaves white bars left and right. What's odd is that I'm using Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder and it seems to display a perfect widescreen that I want as an input and output but once compiled in flash, it's more square leaving me with white bars left and right. The frame for the video in flash is also widescreen looking.
edit: I ended up stretching the width of the frame but if there is a better way through a command that would make my life easier so I don't have to adjust to every monitor that I run this on.
My question is what needs to be done in order to make a .swf file go into full screen without falling to a black screen when a movie is played? I have tried coding it, however I come up with the following error.

What should I do to fix this? This is not going to be an HTML file, however, so the initial thought of changing the publish settings does not seem to work this time.
I'm creating a flash site. I want the flash movie to fill the entire browser window. What size should I make the canvas, I've been experimenting with sizes and a canvas size of 750*370 fills my browser well on a resolution of 800*600
How do you accomodate different resolution settings? What's the most commonly used canvas size for this type of project.
I am creating a flash-based Kiosk. When launched, it runs full page/full screen. However, if a user clicks a button that opens an external document, the swf or Flash Projector exe leaves full page mode and appears in the Flash Player. Is there any way to ensure the swf or projector file always stays in full screen - full page mode?

I have a flash app that contains a lot of data. Part of it has a video. I want to have an option to expand just the video to full screen mode. I have this working now, however it scales it proportionally based on the size of my flash app. Instead of doing that, how can I expand it to be 100% of the screen width?
Code:
function goFullScreen(base):void

I've been trying to attempt to make it so a .flv video will fit to the entire screen of the browser window. ( I already have my .swf file fit to re-size to any browser on any computer. I just can't figure out how to make the video as well) And obviously an external video so the flash file wont take forever to load.The point is this is to be able to have the Video be the background. So I may put content (Links, information or whatever else) on top of the video.
View 2 Replies[ X ] Problem solved I just came up with something i have some trouble to handle I've tried a couple of solution but none seems to work perfectly
What I'm trying to do is simple, get my flash to go full screen, but whatever resolution the user has, my flash must centers itself with the biggest proportion possible, and two movie clips goes right and left of it, as if they were borders.
I've been able to do this with a simple png, but i was not able with a movieclip where his dimension changes through time. ( i have a tween, so the mc gets really big even though just my stage is displayed)
I encountered on the building of my largest flash project to date. The project is a dvd-based presentation with audio, video and text that's xml driven.The project has been coming along nicely but recently a bug has popped up that I haven't been able to figure out. Here's what's going on:
There are three main sections in the swf, the intro screen, the main screen and the content screen. The swf is set to default to full-screen with the resizing and re-positioning of the elements built into a resize handler. Since each screen has different content, each screen has a different resize handler that is removed when transitioning to the next screen before the resize handler is applied for that screen.
For the first two screens, everything is working fine, but when you get to the content (third) screen (where the xml loads), the entire flash movie darkens, and nothing is clickable. This only occurs when the swf is in its default full-screen mode, if you escape full-screen the screen goes back to normal and the nav is clickable again. Also, if you've escaped full-screen mode before you reach the third screen, it remains normal and clickable.
I initially thought that it might be an issue with the event handler for the fullscreen, but the bug never appeared in previous versions with the same code. So I replaced the fla file with one that was not causing the bug and got a functioning swf out of it, even though it was including the same as3 files that the buggy file was including. I saved that file and sent it to the client, who has been successfully publishing from it without a problem. So I thought, problem solved, just a corrupt fla file. But now, any version of the swf that I publish has the problem, even ones that published fine earlier, and aren't using any of the new code that was being used when the problem started occurring. is it possible that my flash app has gotten corrupted or something? Has anyone ever experienced anything like this before?
We have created a standalone exe (flash with windows/mac "projector") file, and have it set to autolaunch when a cd is inserted, but would like for it to launch in full screen mode

Chrome works fine with these setting but now problem is with IE I just updated my Internet explorer it shows half of the flash file what need to do?
Been re-working a couple flash as3 movies that are to be exported as exe and app.They call in a few external flv's, swf's, and a few external images.Now, the old versions were kindof a mess, so I have been cleaning it up, and got it mostly down to a single frame, with no objects on the stage until I call them out via action script from the library.So far so good...At the top of my as is the line:
this.stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
In the old versions this worked fine, but now in my re-worked version, the screen does open in full screen like it is supposed to, but the items on my stage are not expanding to the full screen size along with the stage itself.
I was checking out flash templates looking for inspiration, when I ran across this template.If you open the link, you'll see a button on the right side of the flash file which allows for full screen display. There are no browser elements visible at all.
