    FullScreen view - text input

    Hi!

    My text input fields does not work in fullScreen view.
    I can mark the text, but not write...

    Read something about this in a forum:

    An overlay dialog box will appear when the movie enters full-screen mode, instructing the user how to exit and return to normal mode. The dialog box appears for a few seconds and then fades out.

    The ActionScript that initiates full-screen mode can be called only in response to a mouse click or keypress. If it is called in other situations, it will be ignored (in ActionScript 2.0) or throw an exception (in ActionScript 3.0).

    Users cannot enter text in text input fields while in full-screen mode. All keyboard input and key-related ActionScript is disabled while in full-screen mode, with the exception of the keyboard shortcuts that take the viewer out of full-screen mode.
    Is there any solution for this?

    Regards,
    S-fish

    Nope. It's a security feature. The idea is that in theory you could cover the screen and pop up something that looked like an operating system dialog box and ask the user for their password. So to stop you from doing that, a user can't type into input boxes in fullscreen.
