As far as I know open a popup using javascript would start the swf all over again.
FP9 fullscreen continues to play the swf. It does not restart. What's also very nice is that you can define the rectangle that is going to be blown up to full screen.

cool, thx

This is awesome!!! Nice1 Bret!

What´s the AS code?, because I use :

Code:

---

btn1.onPress = function() {
Stage.displayState = "fullScreen"
}

---

and it doesn´t work.

You also have to modify the HTML tags to allowfullscreen

<script type="text/javascript">AC_FL_RunContent('codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,65,0','loop','true','bgcol or','#000000','width','720','height','480','src',' fstest','allowFullScreen','true','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','fstest');

Ah! Only I was lacking a phrase in the code HTML. Thanks.

Hmmmmm... I have this in the actions of the frame...

btn1.onPress = function() {
Stage.displayState = "fullScreen"
}

I have this in the body of my masterpage...

<script type="text/javascript">AC_FL_RunContent('codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,65,0','loop','true','bgcol or','#000000','width','1050','height','552','src', ' underconstructionbg','allowFullScreen','true','qua lity','high','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','underconstructionbg');
</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="underconstructionbg" width="1050" height="552" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,65,0">

</object></noscript>

Any ideas why it won't work?

Cheers
Steve

Of course durrrrrrrr.. I see the problem.. obviously I am using a masterpage.master in .NET. Not a flash query really, but anyone have any idea how to allow the fullsreen in .net?

I use this to embed .swf

<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascript/swfobject.js"></script>
<span id="flashcontentx"></span>
<script type="text/javascript">
var sox = new SWFObject("/underconstruction.swf", "mymovie", "1236", "552", "8");
sox.write("flashcontentx");
</script>

Anyone have any suggestions on how the button would work? I have a button and the the code..
btn1.onPress = function() {
Stage.displayState = "fullScreen"
}

This works fine but I want to displaystage = "normal" but not sure how to make it recognise when its in full screen? Or how to modify the button? Hope that makes sense.

Check the value of Stage.displayState

btn.onPress=function(){
if (Stage.displayState=="fullscreen"){
Stage.displayState="fullscreen";
}else{
Stage.displayState="normal";
}
}

Woohoo! Thanks again mate!

Bret, do you know why your email form doesn't work properly when in fullscreen mode?

http://www.michianaworldwide.com/ez/moons/moons.html

It says "Press ESP to return to normal disply"

did you mean "ESC"?

@Phil1615, keyboard support in fullscreen mode is limited by the flash player for security reasons.

@Menzoic, the fullscreen message is displayed by the flash player. I suppose it has to do with the language version of the installed flash player on your computer.

@w.bryant Everything on my computer is english lol

I just checked back and now it says ESC and it highlights Yellow instead of white. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me lol

You're eyes aren't playing tricks. I went back when I saw I had ESP instead of ESC. Anyway, I prettied up the button a little too. Now I will have to go back and eliminate the fullscreen mode if the contact form doesn't work.

Try, try, again . . .

phew, good I'm not going crazy.

Why doesn't the contact form work? Is it restricted from sending data to php and javascript?

Input fields are not supported in fullscreen mode.
This is not a KoolMoves restriction but a flash player restriction.

It seems as though the actions are a little slower in fullscreen than with the regular brower.
