Full Screen Problem! Please Help!

Hello!

I`ve made a movie using Flash 2.0 and I want it in fullscreen. I tryed in many ways but I didn`t succed. I tryed to follow the help from swish.. so I understand I should use the FSCommand.. I did like in the help but I dont understand what is THE CODE i should add in the html source.

SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!--

// Detect Browser

var InternetExplorer = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1;

// FSCommand handler for Netscape

function Movie1_DoFSCommand(command, args) {

var Movie1Obj = InternetExplorer ? Movie1 : document.Movie1;

if (command=="TestFunction") {

// ADD YOUR CODE HERE

What code??? I really dont know...

I really dont know many things about html sources.. so I`ve attached my source code to this msg. Please someone.. anyone.. explain me in the most easy way.. what should I do to have my movie in full screen.

THANKS!!

P.S. Sorry for my english!

Right-click the very top row on the first frame of the movie. Select FS Command from the menu. In the Actions panel, click the small down arrow next to the box that says Command. Select FullScreen. Leave the argument box blank. This will force the movie to fill the available window.

To force an html page to the max size, insert the following script in the head of the document, just before the closing < / head > tag.

Code:

<script language="JavaScript1.2">  </script>

Hope this helps.

The FS COmmand for Fullscreen is only meant to be used with the Flash Standalone player (projector files) -- it won't do anything in the browser - sorry :(

But, the code Dead Rabbit posted can be used to maximize the window ... otherwise (for complete fullscreen) - you will have to put the javascript in your HTML

and if you want to display your movie fullScreen as Cadence has explained, here's the script --

<html>

<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">







</script>
</head><body>
<p><center>
<font face="arial, helvetica" size="-2">Free JavaScripts provided<br>
by <a href="http://javascriptsource.com">The JavaScript Source</a></font>
</center><p>
</body></html>

Hello! Thanks for the trying to help me. I`ve tryed to do exactly the way you said but the page still opens in normal window.. no change.. :( I left the argument box of FSCommand blank, the way you told me to do.. I`ve copyed the code you provide me and paste it in to the source... so now my source code is looking like in the attachment. But I stil dont know why is not working. Can you take a look and let me know where I was wrong please?

I stil dont know what is that thing from source: //ADD YOUR CODE HERE.. I mean.. Is that the way should be? or I have to add any code there so the full screen will work?

Do you have any ideea where exactly sould I paste that code so the fullscreen will work? and can you tell me also what is that : //ADD YOUR CODE HERE.. from my HTML source?

Thanks!

This should be the easiest to do:

Put the following html code in the BODY of an html page:

Code:

<p><a href="javascript:window.open('yourpage.html','anyname','fullscreen');void(0);">Click to launch fullscreen window</a></p>

yourpage.html is the page with your swf movie. Remember to add a function in your movie to close the screen, as fullscreen does not give the user something to close the window with.

Do it like this:

1. Add some text (like 'X').
2. Add the following action:
-on press
-javascript
window.close()

That's it, you're done.

In the code you sent, dump the first script:

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">  </SCRIPT>

so you don't have to worry about what code to put in there...

In your embed tag, replace width="792" height="518" with width="100%" height="100%". This will cause the movie to fill the available window (which is now fullscreen because of the javascript in the < head > tag).

If you want bigger, add scale="exactfit" in the embed tag just before the bgcolor= tag. WARNING - the "exactfit" scale will NOT maintain the aspect ratio and will cause your movie to distort to fill the entire available space on the window.

As a reference, play with the settings on the Export Panel for html export and read the Swish Help file about the panel.

This file will load you movie in a fullscreen window and 100% width & height, maintaining the aspect of the movie:

Hi again!

you helped me a bit... now the movie feet the window.. but is not full screen... I mean.. now.. the scrollbar is gone..

I think that your first code you gave me has an error.. I`ve opened the HTML with FrontPage.. and in HTML source, a part is red.. that means that the code contain some errors.. am I right?

Thanks again!

Nope. In FP, the default color scheme displays script language code in red. It helps to follow the code to the end of the script.

As for not fullscreen, it should be. top.window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.avail Height) will max the html page to the size of the screen as reported by the operating system.

If you want chromeless windows, you could have a redirect on your first page that calls the movie page with

Code:

window.open("../index.html","","fullscreen,scrollbars")

I encountered this scaling problem and stumbled upon a bizarre (yet simple) solution. I have no idea whether it will work for others, but it solved the problem on my PC and my client's Mac, so it's worth a try.

At the very top of the HTML page in which your (ostensibly) full-screen SWF is embedded, place this code:

Code:

<script></script>

It was a happy accident for me that only took about five minutes. If it does work for anyone, I'd be curious to know.

(BTW forgive me if this might be considered cross-posting, but I'm posting this answer in a few other threads just to help spread the word.)
