Actionscript 3 :: Maximize An AIR App Using The Keyboard?
May 24, 2010
This boils down to being able to listen to key presses when the application doesn't have the focus. I've tried adding listeners to both stage and NativeApplication, but when the app is minimized it doesn't seem to listen to key events.
Just for the record, I'm trying to implement an app that behaves in the way Spotlight does. It runs on the background and it appears to the user after a keyboard shortcut combination.
If this is not possible, I think I would have to use some sort of helper app to listen to the keys and pass them on to the AIR app via NativeProcess, but it seems a little bit too complicated.
I'm planning to get this working on AIR 2 beta in at least Win and Mac.

I would like to dynamically create squares and distribute them as evenly as possible in a given area. Because the given area can be of any size, I would like to make the squares in the grid be of any size so they maximize the available space. The number of squares is fixed. The purpose of these squares is to display the alphabet: A-Z. So there will be 26 squares. The squares will be spaced apart by some number of pixels: i.e. 3 pixels. So the size of the squares can be variable.The size of the available area is variable.The number of rows and columns of the grid are variable.The only factors that are not variable are the spacing and the number of squares.

Since full screen mode disables most keyboard input, it's a non-starter for me.
Is there a way to automatically maximize the Flash Player window when using a projector? In other words, when someone double-clicks the projector EXE, I want it to start in a Maximized window.

I am aware of Zinc (which was disappointing) and SWF Studio (demo didnt work for some reason, I contacted them with nor eply just yet) but there were problems with these and they simply offer more than I need. Is there a simple utility that will allow me to eliminate the users ability to maximize the player window? Something that wont force me to bundle my 50 FLV videos into the EXE making an EXE thats like 300 MB...something that will not change anything about how the projector works but allow some projector top bar modifications?
I tend to remember long ago there was a very simple 1-2 screen utility that allowed you to simply check a few boxes, export and it acted in every way like a regular projector (exe) but simply disable a few options (like maximize).

i've read a tutorial about passing variables to HTML. But this tutorial isnt clear for me.. [URL] EXAMPLE 1 Using Query String to Maximize Code Reuse I really dont have an idea what to do inside flash, bec the author only said: Quote: Assuming the image filename is image1.jpg, located at a folder named images. And assuming that the Flash movie will use a variable named imageFilename to refer to the file, then we can do this
How do I do that? Like having a empty movie clip and giving an instance name of imageFilename?

I've tried a few of the components that are supposed to make this easy but, I haven't found one that works properly yet.

I have 2 scenes. In both scenes, I have a movie clip that moves via keyboard control. If the goto next scene is triggered by the movie clip in the first scene the keyboard control works in the second. However, if I use a button to move to the next scene then there isn't any control over the movieclip in that scene. I've traced the keyCode in the second scene and it is picked up but the switch statement doesn't run. I'm migrating to Actionscript 3.0 and updating something I created in 2.0. I would like to do it without writing a class.

I'm having a little problem with my resize event... I created a component myself, and this component, at each resize event, runs a complex method. Here is the problem: When I maximize or restore my window, this event is called several times in a real short period of time, not letting enough time to my method to run completely before another one starts... I'd like to know if there is anyway of only run this method in the end of each resize movement.

I am working on a Flash app that is 900x700 pixels. When viewed in misc. browsers at 1024x768, the browser chrome causes robs too much of the vertical space and the app appears in a window with a vertical scrollbar. Unacceptable.
The flash app will be launched via a link emailed to the viewers.
I'd like to avoid resizing the flash app and am wondering if there's a way to do the following via javascript, with no clicks involved:maximize the current browser window remove current window address bar and tabs / switch browser to full screen view (equivalent to pressing F11).
An alternative would be to resize the flash app vertically to match the browser canvas height to avoid scrolling. This may cause the app to become unreadable, so not the best approach in my case.
UPDATE: Seems that browser resizing and autoswitch to full screen won't work and neither will the flash app auto resize. What is the best approach then? And, some users may have browsers with toolbars or open a small browser window.
The only idea I have is to use javascript and display a message to users with small browser windows to pres F11 manually. The audience is executes and some may not even know what an F11 means...
