[F8] Full Screen Flash 8 - no popup

[BrigC]

Hi

I'm trying to enable my website to be viewed at full screen through the use of a toggle button. I've tried using JavaScript to do this and it worked the only problem is that the site reloaded in a pop-up window. Is there anyway to use JavaScript to open a website at full screen without reloading the page and without the use of a pop-up window?

Thanks!

You can have real fullscreen when publishing for player 8 or higher.
Check the Stage.displayState property.

gparis beat me!

Stage["displayState"] = "fullScreen";

or

Stage["displayState"] = "normal";

Great I will try using the method you posted.

Thank you!!

It worked - thank you. I have just a few more questions now:

1. My swf is no longer horizontally centered in normal view - how would I make the swf vertically and horizontally centered in normal view

2. Is there any way to remove the message that appears (press esc to exit full screen)? - I have a toggle button so the message isn't necessary . .

3. My input text boxes no longer work in full screen mode. Is there any work around for this?

Thank you !

1. Depends on your publish settings and how you built your fla. You'll need to give more info.

2. no, you can't.

3. Not possible, at least on flash 8 AS2. You only can do that in AS3 with FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE and that only works with AIR apps. All for security reasons...

regarding three, what exactly doesn't work with input textfields? when tested it worked fine. or is an input textbox different from an input textfield? or perhaps it only happens when the swf is embedded in a browser?

regarding three, what exactly doesn't work with input textfields?

keyboard interactivity, such as filling in input fields, is disabled when in Fullscreen mode. For security reasons.

While Flash Player is in full-screen mode, all keyboard input is disabled (except keyboard shortcuts that take the user out of full-screen mode)

this must be a browser-only feature cause it works fine when tested locally. I've also made a fullscreen projector file which loads content based on a search using input text.

thanks for the info
