ActionScript 2.0 :: Making Monitor Ratio Work With Fullscreen Mode?
Mar 12, 2007
I'm creating a presentation in Flash that will be projected onto a large screen. I'm using fscommand("fullscreen", true) to make it fullscreen. Since I don't know in advance what type of playback monitor will be used, apparently there may be some issue with the monitor ratio not being 4:3 which would make it widescreen. I was told to make sure the animation etc extends beyond the Stage frame so that it accommodates widescreen but I'm not sure how to do this - I mean how do you know how far beyond the stage to extend things? Since I don't have access to the playback monitor I can't test on it and the presentation will eventually be put onto a CD ROM where viewers may have all types of monitors.
The following problem occured when I tried to view my flash project in full screen mode: When I applied a glowfilter to an movie object it didn't show when I run it, so I tried to do this with actionscript. It worked when I watched my flashmovie as swf in normal screen mode. But when I wanted to watch it full screen, the glow-script didn't seem to work anymore?
i have a problem in flex fullscreen mode... that is my input box doesnot work in fullscreen mode.I could'nt able to type anything. and no keydown events are working.
I wanted to make a video player that has normal mode and fullscreen mode. The part I am having trouble understanding is how to handle the video once it gets set to fullscreen. Do I just use the current video or do I get a high quality version of the video to show during fullscreen mode? What would be best practice for this situation?
I have a video gallery and some of my videos are in 4:3 ratio and some in 16:9 ratio. I have also a fullscreen function on my video player. The problem is on a screen with 16:9 ratio which most of us have, my 4:3 video's is stretched across the screen. They don't maintain their pixel aspect ratio.
i just installed an ati radeon7000 32 bit graphics card into my G4 tower so i can run 2 monitors--what i want to do is have my small monitor serve as the desktop where i can control what is being viewed on the second monitor: when the small monitor is set in the control panel as being the menu bar, then when a .swf or projector set to 'fullscreen' launches, it fills the screen on the small monitor but not the second monitor.
how can i set it so that whatever is launched from the small screen will appear in the second/larger monitor? (i want the menu bar and dock to be on the small monitor, so that it is hidden from view on the second monitor) i know i can do this in javascript, but i'd like to keep it on the desktop without having to use a browser-- using the fscommand to set the xy coords, or somehow target the second monitor?
I am querying a 3rd party web service and not all the data seems to be making it to the event handler. When I view the request/response in the Network Monitor I see a collection of data objects each containing two string variables (name, url) and two arrays (counts, breakdown). When the result handler receives the data and I view it in debug mode, the collection of data objects each only contains one string variable (name). What happened to the other string var (url) and both arrays (counts, breakdown)? what would cause this since it seems to becoming corrupt before it reaches the event handler but after it is received by the network? Is this most likely an IDE issue?
Is there any way to debug fullscreen mode? I Ctrl+enter and I see the swf but the fullscreen button never works, like when I forgot the allowFullScreen param in my HTML code.Do I have to add some parameter to the CS5 properties?
I am loading an image in a back mc stretched to 100% of the stage width and height. Everything works fine except in fullscreenmode - the image does not resize to fit the new stage width and height. Here is the code:
PHP Code:
function loadFunc(What, Where) { var LoadingObject = new MovieClipLoader(); var NewObject = new Object(); NewObject.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip) {
I need to play a flash website in full screen mode. That runs fine but then I have a link where we have an FLV video component. Whenever I browse to the link having the FLV video, the video goes fullscreen and fills the whole screen. I want the FLV so that it remains at the original video dimensions while I'm at Full Screen. Also I have another problem, if I let the video play in full screen, then when I press escape to get out of video it exits the full screen mode as well, how can I exit the video yet not exit full screen mode.
BTW, I've searched the internet and couldn't find any example of flash where we have flv video in full screen mode website.
I'm encountering a strange problem with using Fullscreen mode. Basically I want the whole piece to become fullscreen, but because there is an flv active within the page the flv is taking over the fullscreen instead of the whole piece. Is there any way to stop it from doing this?I'm applying it like this:switch(FS_STATUS){ case false: stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN; FS_STATUS = true; break; case true: stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL; FS_STATUS = false; break; default: break; }If the flv is there it causes the flv to go fullscreen instead of the whole thing, frustrating!
I built a flash player using the flvplayback component. I have a menu that slides up when the user brings the mouse down over the bottom 130 pixels of the flvplayback component. I did this by creating a symbol that is a clear box called "trig" and using "trig.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, slidebar);" with "slidebar" being a function that calls the tween to make the menu appear. To go into fullscreen mode i use the command "video.enterFullScreenDisplayState();" which is called by a button. Is there any way to set it so that my sliding menu will still work in fullscreen mode?
In a related question is there anyway to to have the player start in fullscreen mode? I tried using video.enterFullScreenDisplayState(); as the first line of the action script file after the import commands, but that didn't seem to work.
I'm running a standalone EXE file via the Projector (or whatever it's called when you run a standalone EXE file made with Flash). It's NOT a web-based application. Every time I go to fullscreen mode, I just get a blank screen. All of the images are gone. However, if I press Esc to exit the full screen mode, then the pictures appear again. Is this a bug with Flash CS3? This is what I put in the first frame of my movie in the 'actions' section:
When I run the Flash program (as an exe file), the program goes fullscreen, but all of the elements on the stage disappear, leaving the screen blank. However, when I exit out of fullscreen mode (by pressing ESC) then everything looks like it's supposed to, with the images showing up and everything.
I have a main FLA into which at certain points flvs and swfs are loaded and played, my current problem is that I have a loaded flv(display) which is set to loop using this code:ActionScript Code:import fl.video.*;
// Video component instance name var flvControl:FLVPlayback = display; var flvSource:String = "mainscreen.flv";
I've started now working with the fullscreen mode (for a project in college), and I already made the code for a button to turn the stage on fullscreen.I'd like to know if anyone knows how to leave the fullscreen mode by button?I used this code for turning the fullscreen "on" on the opening button:[code]Then I tried turning the fscommand on the fullscreen "false" on the closing button, but it doesn't work.And btw, how can I make the "open" button appear if I use ESC?
coming from a print background i am trying to teach myself both as2 and as3 and am working on a couple of small projects for myself. I have run into the issue, where the user is in fullscreen mode cannot use keyboard commands to inout text. I would like to know how i could make an alert that appears when the user is in fullscreen mode only.

This is what i'm trying to do , get the Ratio 4:3 9:16 etc from an mp4 movie (h264) so when ill open it in fullscreen using a flash player / action script 3 it will still keep the ratio.
This probably is a stupid question but does anyone know how I can start a standalone swf file in fullscreen mode.I want it to cover the whole screen when it starts.
Been a while since i've posted on here but im running in to a snag. It seems that when i go in to fullscreen mode with ie it runs correctly. However when i run it with mozilla I get a security error. Hitting continue, and repeating the process gives me the error again and im denied fullscreen. When i hit "dismiss all" and repeat the toggle it goes in to fullscreen.
You will notice that if you click on the white textarea, youcan type in it and the keyCode is printed at the bottom. NOW, ifyou click on the black background it launches into fullscreen mode.In fullscreen mode, you CANNOT type in the text area. You canselect the text, but you can't type. If you jump out of full screenmode then it works.What is going on here? Has anyone seen this before? Is it aFlash bug? Here's the code, FLA linked below:
My flash presentation contains video which I imported using the flash video component. When I play the presentation 100% size they play fine - contained within there window on the screen - When I play the presentation in full-screen mode they take over the whole screen. They also play untill the video is finished whithout moving onto the next scene.
