Would someone please direct me to an excellent tutorial on how to launch a Flash movie FULL SCREEN? I've seen them everywhere, but never tried to do it. And now that I'd like to do it, none of the tutorials are what I'm after. I'm trying to create the same effect as:

Thanks, Metrov

Just use the FSCommand (command: fullscreen, arguments: true)
Unfortunately this only works while opening your swf files in your hard drive or a CD. I'm looking for a tutorial on how to do it in html as well, if you find any please let me know.
Hope that helps.

Yes, I'm talking about Full Screen Flash for HTML / Internet delivery.

Try this code:
<script LANGUAGE="Javascript">
<!-- //
function intro()
{
if ((navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac")!=-1) &&
(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1) &&
(parseInt(navigator.appVersion)==4))
{
skip()
}
else
{
popup()
}
}
function skip()
{
location.href="yourfile.htm";
}
function popup()
{
version = parseFloat(navigator.appVersion.substring(navigato r.appVersion.indexOf('.')-1,navigator.appVersion.length));
if (version >= 4)
version = parseFloat(navigator.appVersion.substring(navigato r.appVersion.indexOf('.')-1,navigator.appVersion.length));
if (version >= 4)
{
if (navigator.appName=="Netscape")
{
location.href="yourfile.htm";
}
if (navigator.appName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer")
{
window.open("yourfile.htm","screen","fullscreen=ye s");
}
}
else
{
location.href="yourfile.htm";
}
}
// -->
</script>
then
<body onLoad="intro();">
hope it will help...

Hi...
Heres a utility that produces the parameters of your windows for you:

Hope this helps.

Thanks very much for your suggestions. They work well.
However, is there a code that will make your .swf [no matter what size the original] go full screen as well?
These codes make the browser go full screen, and then stretch the Flash Movie all the way to its largest dimension, either width or height, which may not fill the whole screen. I know I've seen sites where the entire screen is a Flash Movie.
Or, is there another way to do this?
Thanks, M

you can read in the screen height and width using the javascript commands screen.width and screen.height then launch a new browser window which holds your flash movie. Now you just have to read in the screen width and height from the javascript into flash and scale the movie appropriately.
At least i think that should work. I'm afraid i'm not amazingly experienced with flash yet so i can't tell you exactly how to read in the javascript variables width and height.
Here is an html page that you can adjust:
<html>
<head>
<title>...page title...</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
var width = screen.width;
var height = screen.height;
<!-- Begin
function openWindow(URL) {
newWindow = window.open(URL,"title","toolbar=1,location=0,dire ctories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,resizabl e=1,width=width,height=height,left=0,top=0")
}
openWindow('whatever your URL is')
window.close(this);
//END -->
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
</body>
</html>

Hi..
Do as above then add this fscommand to the first frame of your swf file:
fscommand ("fullscreen", "true");
Good luck.
-
mmmm, well, I'm trying all the above methods without success yet. I'll just keep playing with it until I get it to work [hopefully]. It's not an urgent matter; would just like to add the technique to my toolkit.
Thanks again, m

Hi..
Quick step:
1) Add this action to frame 1 of your movie:
getURL ("javascript:window.open('http://www.flashkit.com','NameofWindow','fullscreen=yes,t op=0,left=0'); void(0);");
fscommand ("fullscreen", "true");
Good luck.
-
MMMMMMMMMMM....still no luck. Will have to keep tweeking. Have to go visit my tax accountant now. Back later. Thanks again. m
-
Check out your publish settings.
On the HTML tab > Dimensions... select percent and then 100% on width and height.
You may want to play around with these settings. I hope this is what you are needing.

a bit of advice with the full screen option - make sure that you have an exit button in your movie - many people don't which is very annoying so they tend to just exit before they even look at the site!
Hope this is of use

I will probably abandon the full screen option. See here for the reason why:

Thanks to my friend, rgb. Metrov

What would the actionscript be for your button?
-
I used this script 4 my button:
getURL ("javascript:window.open('http://www.flashkit.com','NameofWindow','fullscreen=yes,t op=0,left=0'); void(0);");
fscommand ("fullscreen", "true");
but to have this function work you have to do this from another web page by clicking on a button. I want to type in my url and have it go to fullscreen without clicking on any button and having another window open. Then have an action inside my button to close the site.
Can this be done within flash without any java.
