ActionScript 3.0 :: Created A Button Which Fullscreen The Flash?
Jun 2, 2009
I have created a button which fullscreen the flash, but the trouble is that after doing full screen, i am not able to enter text in textbox, means there is no cursor at full screen.
I like to make a fullscreen desktop application, with an FLV, using the FLV Playback component. However, I�d like there to be a Fullscreen button on the playback component, which will allow the user to toggle the video fullscreen.I cant, for the life of me, figure out how to do this with various settings�it should be easy! This is what I have--is there a better way to do things (without a custom movie player)? My inital settings are as follows:
I'm making a flash site, and i want it to load full browser with a "fullscreen"-button to go fullscreen. The problem, however, if i resize, the site will keep the same width-to-height ratio...But if i'm testing it using the flash debugger, everything resizes just correct...My html:
HTML Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">[code]......
I have a Flash movie to be displayed in fullscreen on a kiosk. Also, It needs to run in a browser window because I'm using JavaScript to reload the page for resetting the movie.
The problem is, it doesn't go fullscreen when I put the following line to the constructor:
Currently building a dynamic menu system, with 3 levels of navigation. Currently when mouse children is set to 'true' it doesn't want to remember the name of the menu item created. it spits out, 'instance263' or whatever the number is when I trace it out with my onClick event. With mouseChildren set to 'false' my 3rd tier of navigation ceases to work.
The Goal here is to have the menu items retain an instance name so I can relate back to them and set active states for the current active module. UPDATE: Here is where the problem arises
I have a swf inside a html page. If I open it with IE or FF and put it into full screen I can exit full screen with the ESC button.Now if i try this with my WinForms app and WebBrowser (or ShockWave Flash Object) it's not working??
I've created an button object in flash. The button contains 2 layers. One is the background image and on top of it is a textField. The textfield is dynamic. I use the button inside a movieclip and I export it in a SWC. The I'm trying to use it in flex.
I'm trying to do this:
var myComponent:MyComponent = new MyComponent(); myComponent.button01.theTextField.text = "Caption";
I get and instance of the button(myComponent.button01 is not null in Flex debugger), but the instance of the textField(myComponent.button01.theTextField) is null and I'm not able to change the text(but the default text appears onscreen). The code is compiled correctly in flex.
I exported the in swc the button control as well. So the button is not the default SimpleButton from Flash, but an derived class generated by flash(with the same name as the symbol defined in flash). It contains theTextField memeber, which is null.
Here is the button timeline(Layer 2 contains the textfield, and the textfield instance is named theTextField):
1) Is it better to pre=render things say in photoshop or have flash render them?
2) if I have a field of stars that drift along; is it better to create that Star Field in photoshop as a single picture (say a .png) or to create a star in my library and add it to a movie clip and then have that drift along?
Lets say I have a blur effect on my stars and have an equivalent on the photoshop.
3) I have heard (and experienced) adding effects like blur takes a fair amount of CPU and memory so was wondering if I created the effect in photoshop and then imported the 'blurred' object into my flash if I could cut down on system resources?
i have a set of buttons cranked out from and XML file. how can i emulate, in code, a press on one of those buttons? i'd like to 'press' one of them for an initial state so that the list it controls will load first off instead of waiting for the person to click it manually and THEN show the list it's connected to. thing is, the first loaded list is going to be random, so i need to 'press' what on another day/load would be a button that the user would press themselves.
in other words, i have 3 buttons. on random, i have to 'press', say button 2, to start. users can press 1 or 3 and then 2 again if they like. another time, it's button 1 that gets 'pressed' on load, etc. make sense? i have a sneaking suspicion it might be easy... or stupidly convoluted.
I have a swf file that doesn't have any fullscreen button although it's prepared for fullscreen anyway. Now I'd like to have some kind of button beside/under or elsewhere in the html that can activate the fullscreen mode for the swf. If it's possible to do this with a regular image, AS3 and html instead of creating a flash movie, that would be nice (see, that was probably a stupid qestion) as I have tried and tested half a dozen flash tutorials to no avail.
Oh, and IF the only way to do it is to create a button in flash, it need to be transparent.....
So I've been assigned to create a custom flash video player. I followed a good tutorial by Lee Brimelow and went far with the project, until I've hit a dead end - fullscreen function for the video itself. I would simply want to add a fullscreen toggle button that doesn't scale my whole scene, but only the video container (videos are loaded from xml via tree component), while preferably keeping the controls visible.I'm really hard pressed here, since I have to finish by tomorrow, but I really can't see making any progress without some guidance, even if I pull an allnighter.
What is the best way to switch a video to fullscreen from a button in AS3? Like the fullscreen button in FLVPlayback component - I'm aware the FullScreen tag needs to go into the HTML...
I'm making a fullscreen button for my mmog. It has a draggable menu bar which can be moved up and down a certain height.But when i use fullscreen, the draggable menu cannot go down low enough.I even use Stage.width, but that doesnt do anything. It only supplies me with the width of the movie which was declared in the HTML file.
I want to create a button that closes down a fullscreen window. At the moment I have a button with the following AS. on (release){ getURL("javascript:window.close();") } When I press the button It does nothing in IE and in MZ it says: Macromedia has stopped a potentially safe operation
how to create this kind of fullscreen function when button is pressed http:[url].... . i dont know what kind of method used in this site.., if it uses javascript or just actionscript.
I am building a website for a project of the university. as i am not a programmer i bought a template from flashden. i need to do some adjustements and alleready asked the author to help, but he has no time to do. i thought maybe i'll get some help over here.
I need a fullscreen video as an intro for that page. there should be a skip button and when the video has finished playing you should get to the page... the page uses a percentage preloader and i want the same preloader for the video, so that it looks like it belongs to the page.
so i'm trying to make a fullscreen button for my flv player, and it only works when my fullscreen_btn.x is < 600 and > around 300. anybody ever encountered this before?[code]
Any way of building in a fullscreen button right into the skin of a video player using actionscript 2? Or perhaps have access to a source file? I've seen the skins with fullscreen with AS3 with CS3, but I need tut on skins with fullscreen using AS2.
Any reliable full screen code for actionscript 2.0. I have search but can't get any thing that works proper. I just need a button type toggle that switches the screen to full screen and back.
I am using a media display component to display a short FLV cartoon. I have given the component the instance name "fcEp01" and am successfully controlling its play, rewind and pause functions using buttons using "on (release) {_root.fcEp01.Play();}" and so on. I want to have an additional button that will allow the viewer to toggle the component to fullscreen (and back). I am using AS2 in Flash CS3. I realise that it may be necessary to use a movie clip instead of a regular button, but the tutes I've looked at haven't worked.
