Full screen with swapping swf file

I am creating a projector presentation in which a swf file is
being loaded (loadmovie) and replacing the currently running one.
And I have the movie set to be full screen mode (both movies are
set to that using the fscommand). The problem I'm having is that
once the new movie is loaded, it goes from being full screen (movie
is not being scaled, so there's black behind it) to jumping into
the left hand corner of the monitor at the movie's size. It still
kinda acts like it's full-screen, there's no menu items and no
window frame.
Any idea what's going on here, and better yet, how I can fix
it?
thanks for your help.

Don't load external files into _level0 or _root.
Replacing the main swf with another is not a good practice.
There are a few other examples of problems caused by this.
AFAIK this only happens on the Mac platform. Is that what you
are using? Also I don't think there is any other solution. If
anybody knows anythings else, please let us know.

  • Need your Help with Swapping SWF File Problem

    Hello,
    I have two separate Flash SWF files which I would like upload
    into the same HTML file. But I would like to load only one of them
    at the time and would like to have a Button on each SWF Flash file
    which causes the other SWF to be loaded.
    hmmm.. I am not sure if I managed to make sense. :o) Let me
    try it one more time. :o) I would like to swap one SWF file for
    another SWF file by clicking on the buttons which are placed on the
    SWF files! :o)
    I was wondering if that is possible or I should think of
    another way to get around this problem of mine.
    Thank you very much for your help and have a great day.
    Cheers,

    make one swf as a holder. call it main.fla main.swf file.
    Embed that file in your html document. In that file place
    button with the
    following action :
    on (release) {
    loadMovieNum("second.swf", 1);
    in that file have a button with action to load the 3rd file :
    on (release) {
    loadMovieNum("3rd.swf", 1);
    by loading them in same level (1) they will replace each
    other.
    Pretty simple..uh ?

  • Need Your Help with Swapping SWF files

    Hello,
    I am need to swap Two SWF files. I am acheving this by make
    one swf as a holder. call it main.fla main.swf file. Embed that
    file into my html document. In that file I placed one button with
    the
    following action :
    on (release) {

    loadMovieNum("3rd.swf", 1);
    by loading them in same level (1) they will replace each
    other. My problem is that my SWF files obtain some information
    using combination of PHP and XML file. I have noticed when I place
    the SWF with it’s required PHP and XML in separate folders
    the SWF file is uploaded (swapped) but since the PHP files are NOT
    run by the server my dynamically generated XML files are empty and
    therefore the uploaded SWF file has not information expect the SWF
    file. Is there any way to get round this problem?
    Thank you in advance for your help and hope you have a great
    day.

  • Photoshop CS5 "full screen with menu bar" problem

    Hi, I use Photoshop in a Mac computer. In CS4 when I work in "full screen with menu bar" mode, is really a full screen because the workspace go beyond the dock at the bottom. I mean, the dock is overlaping the workspace. In CS5, in the same mode is not really a full screen, the workspace ends above the dock, and the space at the bottom of the screen is wasted. I want to know why they changed that, and if there is a way to fix the problem (Hide the dock is not an option for me. Neither to use standard screen mode, cause that way I can't move the image around when zoomed out)

    The following may work:
    1. Record an action and use insert menu item for:
       View>Screen Mode>Full Screen with Menu Bar
                                and
       View>Fit on Screen
    2. Go to: File>Scripts>Scripts Event Manager.
       In the event manager dialog choose the settings as below.
    Everytime you open a document, the screen mode will go to full screen
    and fit on screen.
    If you decide that's a pain, you can go to the scripts event manager and remove the action.
    For this to work, the action you recorded has to be in the actions panel.

  • Toggle Full Screen with lingo?

    Hi there,
    I have just got a Mac mini 10.6.2 and I'm testing exporting mac projectors from Dir11.5 on XP.
    What I'd like to achieve is to swap between two states whilst playing the projector.
    State 1: Small draggable Windowed state with title bar and Mac Dock / desktop visible.
    State 2: Pure 800x600 Full Screen with No Dock or title bar visible.
    I am using BuddyAPI successfully to switch monitor screen modes to 800x600 and back again to native res.
    My problem is, if I want to hide the dock and title bar, I seem to have to publish with the "Full Screen" checkbox ticked in the publish settings. This means when I switch back to native res windowed mode there is the solid movie background colour hiding the mac desktop and dock (as you'd expect).
    Is there a way to turn full screen (black out the desktop and dock) on and off during runtime with lingo?
    I know its a long shot, but though I'd check with the pros before assuming it's not possible.
    Cheers
    Richard Smith

    My understanding is that Flash will not allow you to do that.
    Full screen mode is invoked only if explicitly requested from
    within the flash on mouse events.

  • Every time that I want to go full screen with an enbedded video firefox freezes and doesn't expand

    Every time I try to go full screen with an embedded video or video game Firefox freezes and stop working

    1. Update firefox to the latest version 2. and disable real player in menu->addons->plugins.
    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.

  • ITunes 10.4 full screen with Win7-64bit doesn't work correctly.

    iTunes 10.4 full screen with Win7-64 doesn't work correctly. I have the Windows taskbar on the left side of my screen. Maximized iTunes is panned to the left.

    Same issue here. When the Windows taskbar is position on the top of the screen and then the iTunes windows is maximised, it's position is as if the Windows taskbar is at the bottom of the screen so the top of the iTunes window sits under the taskbar.
    For those wanting a workaround, hold shift and right click the iTunes icon in the taskbar/quick launch bar and click restore, at least then you can adjust it to be full screen manually.

  • Creating IPA file with Multiple SWF files using ADT

    Iam successfully able to create ipa files using the ADT package but my next requirement is to create an IPA file with multiple swf files.I think it might be easy if your SWF files are regular the tough part is my swf file has lot of action script in it so the only option is to through the command prompt and using the ADT package of Adobe AIR.So now i have 10 SWF files like this and iam creating ipa file for each swf seperatly but now I want to put all of the swf files into one ipa file.Please let me know if i was not clear in my description

    I think you are trying to explain how to load two swf's one with action
    script and loading an other swf file which should be non action script.If
    you read my requirement carefully.I have all the same type of swf's and
    these swf are automatically created as a form of output for xcelsius dash
    board software.Iam capable of creating individialu ipa files from these swf
    files.So when I try to combine the same kind of swf files the first error
    its giving is the file name which I have used in the xml.in the main file
    name for the swf file its not considering the two swf file name in the
    initial window.so the adt package in the command line is not understanding
    the file name from the xml and the command prompt and giving error this swf
    file does not exist.So please consider how to combine two swf files with AS3
    into one ipa file.These swf files are not editable,Let me know if you find
    any idea to achieve this

    You may have a bad hard drive.  The flashing folder with the ? indicates that the system cannot find your hard drive.  Use the installation disc that came with your machine.  Insert it into the disc drive and restart the machine holding down the "C" key .  When the restart shows the Apple screen you can release the C keyWhen the installation screen appears, click on the utilities button.  Does the left side of the disc utilities screen show your HD?  If not, then your HD is bad or it could be a loose connection. ifixit.com has a good tutorial on how to replace the HF in the Macbook.  Follow the instructions to remove your HD.  Reinstall your HD and boot up your machine to see if it recognizes your HD.  If it does't, you probably will need to replace your HD>
    Is your machine still under warranty?  If so, take it to your nearest Apple Store for repairs as the repairs will be covered under your warranty.  If you bought AppleCare when you bought your computer your warranty is for three years.  If you didn't buy the Apple Care, then your warranty is only good for one year from the date of purchase.

  • My iMac has a white screen with a flashing file folder with a question mark in the middle.  What does that mean?

    My iMac is completely unresponsive.  Whenever I restart it, it's just a white screen with a flashing file folder with a question mark in the middle.  What does this mean?

    this means the mac cannot find the startup disc. which more times than not means you need a hdd replacement.
    try starting holding the option key, then using utilities try to repair the disc.

  • Webpage with a swf file reloads on safari on every visit

    can anyone explain why a webpage with a swf file reloads on safari on every visit? it's a 1.2 MB swf file - it takes about 5-10 seconds to load but apparently doesn't get stored in the browser's cache. when you go to another page and back to the original page it loads again. (in internet explorer, once the file has loaded it is stored in the cache and doesn't repeat the loading process)

    Yes, similar to your experience, Safari reloads the page on my system too, i.e. does not write it to cache. So when I backspace, the page reloads. Same, if I enter the site on a new tab after an initial load on another tab. By contrast, Firefox, on the backspace or new tab, displays the page immediately without the reload being necessary. Very nice site by the way. Very effective use of Flash content. Is it your web design?
    You may find it helpful to send feedback to Apple. Perhaps, they'll change the caching, or perhaps offer it as an option, in Safari's next version due to make its debut with OS X Leopard in early 2007 (I'm an optimist - ).
    Let me know if you need any further help on this end. Aloha from Big Island.
