I have read several posts where people discuss TOPMOST and SWF Studio as options for keeping applications running in the top of the z order.
My question is: Is there a way to create a projector that always stays on top (e.g. even if a windows update occurs) without purchasing SWF Studio? As I understand TOPMOST is only for launched applications, not for the application itself.
I need to have a fullscreen AS3 projector to open a video within the presentation to fullscreen and then back to its original size. The video is inside another movie clip and doesn't use the FLVPlayer component. There is also a custom video controller that needs to be positioned under the video when viewed fullscreen and then return under the original video. I have had some success opening the fullscreen video but could not position the video or controller position accurately.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to do something really simple but I think there may be a bug in flash. I want to create a fullscreen projector which does not scale the stage and contains movies, the movies should not play fullscreen. I want the videos to stay exactly the size as I have set them up on the stage as they have titles above them. The issues I am facing are as follows;
1) If I place the movie on frame1 of my timeline along with the code

I have created a cd-rom in flash which autoruns and opens up as a fullscreen projector. The cd launches various powerpoint files from without the movie, however, once i close the powerpoint file, the projector is no longer fullscreen.
Is there any way I can keep the flash movie running fullscreen behind the powerpoint files, so when i close them, the flash movie is the same.
I'm creating a flash projector file and need to scale background full-screen. The background is a gradient shape. I made it full screen and resized background so width and height is stage width and height but it still won't work.

How to combine Flash and Acrobat PDF like this sample?

I have two seperate machines I work on. Is it possible to have a true fullscreen? It was possible in as2, but all examples I've seen on this forum haven't worked. I will not be using an accompanying html file, I will be publishing to exe.
View 5 RepliesI have a Flash presentation I want to autorun in full screen mode. I set this using StageScaleMode.FULL_SCREEN, and it works fine if I run the swf file. However, the exe file opens a blank full screen, and only when I exit with ESC does it show the actual movie in a regular window.
View 2 RepliesI have an FLVPlayback component on my timeline (frame 4 or so), and my Flash Projector is running in fullscreen mode. The problem is that I can't seem to make my FLVPlayback component NOT be in fullscreen mode and at the same time, have my stage in fullscreen mode.

Non-fullscreen FLVPlayback

It runs fine when the projector is not set to fullscreen - background is there along with my close button.
I'm having a problem getting a cdrom interface to not scale in an AS3 Projector. The movie does have an embeded flv player, but it has an interface around that that is 830px wide by about 500 tall and that needs to be shown at its original size, but fullscreen. The movie plays fullscreen, using the following AS3 code:
Code:
stop();
import fl.transitions.Tween;

View 2 RepliesI working on a projector presentation in flash where I would like to run it in fullscreen. I use:
fscommand("fullscreen","true")
In the first frame, but it scales up my content so that it gets blurred. Is it possible to keep the stage width and height and still go fullscreen, so you just fill the space with stage color.
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?.... :/...
I have a fullscreen projector using fscommand ("fullscreen", "true");
Fullscreen works fine. However, I have 2 movie clips that I don't want to resize with the rest of the movie. (They are non-vector images that look crappy when resized.) Is this possible? If so, do you know what code I need to use? I'm using AS3.
i have my photo gallery and if you push a button photo has to open in new window with fullscreen.
for fullscreen i use Stage.displayState = "fullScreen";
I'm working in CS5, using AS2 on a Mac.I've built a presentation that requires the need to open pdf files in Acrobat Reader... as I have been building this on a Mac I simply used the geturl code which has been working a treat... today when I tested it on a PC it opened the file in a browser window!
I'm not really a coder and have to rely on finding bits online that I can tweak... after many hours I have fixed the pdf opening problem by using the fscommand method, but unfortunately when the pdf file is closed, my presentation (that was running fullscreen) has minimised itself to a window 100% to the original stage size!

I am producing a fullscreen projector (.exe) file and have some large videos that cause the background to go black when they come on the stage. When I test the movie (not in fullscreen), it works just fine.

I have created a flash application that runs crisp and smooth normally. However, when I set it to fullscreen using
Code:
fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
Then it runs slow as heck. My cpu usage shoots up to the 90%'s on all four cores. Strange thing is, however, that if I manually resize the projector chrome to take up the full screen size it runs smooth and crisp. It's not playing any videos or sounds, and there are minimal images. The swf file itself is 7 megs, and that's almost entirely because I have to embed the chinese alphabet. Could it be from running dual monitors? It still only "fullscreens" to one monitor's size, so I don't think its's twice the size without me noticing... I'm really not sure what's causing it, but it gets super slow...
The swf and fla files are located at: [URLs]
.fla is only 448kB, but the swf is 7megs.
Again, it runs fine when not in fullscreen, no matter how large I make the window, but if you play the swf file in flash player (i.e. not in browser) it will run slow until you press esc and exit fullscreen mode.
I need to make a hybrid CD-Rom that has PDFs. I want to launch the PDF in Acrobat, not a browser (they interactive and have bookmarks etc). I can get it to work on the PC side with no problem but am having trouble on the Mac.
I've made an applescript that works, and have it in the "fscommand" folder.
However, I can't get the Flash projector to launch it. I'm using this code on a button;
quote:
on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "testing.app");
}
It's a disk image. I can't work out why it doesn't work and it is driving me insane.
I recently was assigned to make an interactive CD using Flash. However, there is some content that needs to be downloaded, or loaded from the CD such as .jpg's, pdf's, .doc's. I've looked at some ways to do it, such as batch files to load files, but the instructions were unclear to me. (I also work on a Mac and need this to be cross-platform) Also, the content cannot be loaded to the web and use a getURL command. The client wants the user to be able to download or load it from the CD by the click of a button.
View 2 RepliesI am using flash 8 or flash mx, and I want to open a web site and some pdf files. I have my projector set to fullscreen but when I open a web site or a pdf file these files open behind my projector so my final user doesn't realize that the pdf files or the web site is displayed. How can I force the web site or the pdf file to open on top of my projector or is there a way to minimize my projector when I click these buttons so the user realizes that these files opened.

View 2 RepliesI am creating a Flash projector to work on a CD for a client to distribute. There has to be a listing of their PDF's in the flash program, that when clicked, will open the actual PDF in a separate window. I found one comment in this site to use "GetURL", but found out it is ONLY for HTML. There was mention of setting up the FSCommand to open another application, such as a PDF file, but how? I have the files in the same directory and tried putting the file name in the "GetURL" (the PDF file), but just freezes when trying to open. Also, is there a way they can drag and drop the PDF files to the desktop, that has the listings of the PDF's and save to the hard drive?

The powers that be have decided a project I'm working on shouldn't go on a website after all, but needs to be on a CD for Windows users instead and of course I only have a couple of days to made the "relevant tweaks" as they call them.It needs to run directly from the CD so I presume AIR isn't a good option.I've got all of it working by publishing to a Windows Projector executable. The bit I'm stuck with is allowing users to click buttons to open various directories which will be on the CD. These are source files for following tutorials from the main part of the CD. I've tried playing around with the various options in the FileReference class (namely browse() and download()), but they seem to be set up for use online only.
