Bug's found in fullscreen mode.

Hello i have discovered a bug in flash or in iexplorer the
fullscreen mode.
Problem 1: onMouseUp event fails in fullscreen mode (when
published in html mode).
First of all, when i placed a button on the stage to go
fullscreen the onMouseUp event will not be triggered.
I only listens to the onMouseDown event. Fortuneately the
event of the button (onRelease) will be triggered so i have found a
work around for this. This effect happens when published to an html
only. In firfox and IExplorer.
Problem 2: When using a custom mouse in fullscreen mode, the
mouse will go very slow or shocking..
The second bug has to do with some rendering i think. The
strange thing is when you run the swf localy and you are in
fullscreen mode the mouse will move smooth. But when i publisch it
to html mode and upload this html and look it online, the custom
mouse will move very slow and not smooth. In firefox it moves a lot
better..
Has anyone experienced this problem too and find a work
around?
To expierence this problem look at my website :
flash website with
custom mouse
I hope someone has a solution.. (i also removed the effects
like blur and motion on the custom mouse ..but still the mouse will
moves not smooth).
Regards.

I can see the menu if I select the screen mode "Full Screen with Menu Bar"
Additionally, why don't you just hit Cmd + Tab (mac) or Alt + Tab (Win) to switch between applications quickly?

How to I get iPhoto to stop opening in fullscreen mode?

Every time I open iPhoto, it opens in fullscreen mode. It's as if there is a setting that has been set for it to do it(though I've checked the settings and there's no such thing). I usually exit fullscreen mode in the usual way and it cooperates, but then sure enough, the next time I open it up, it's in fullscreen mode again. Additionally, perhaps it is linked to this problem, everytime I open iPhoto, it tells me that "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your[my] library" and that I should "click Repair to avoid any potential problems". I've clicked repair numerous times but it still gives me the same message the next time I start the program. I've tried deleting the iPhoto plist file and that has not helped either.
Another side note that may be similar is that Terminal always opens in fullscreen just like iPhoto.

Alright, I fixed the problem!
A more in depth description of the process, some credit for its origins, why it works, and how else you can use it can be found here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17269094#17269094
But basically, you do the following:
1. Navigate to "~/Library/Saved Application State/"
2. Find "com.apple.iPhoto.savedState"
3. Move it to the Trash
4. Launch iPhoto
Also, to solve the issue involving "Repairing" the Library, I had to navigate to the file "iPhoto library" (in ~/Users/dro8654/Pictures) and edit its "Sharing & Permissions" preferences such that only MY user was allowed to "Read & Write"
This discussion was what helped me with this:

App switching in fullscreen mode: Losing Focus

I have my mac running Mountain Lion (Ver 10.8.2) and have noticed that when switching between applications when fullscreen mode is involved that the application I am switching to loses focus.
Scenarios:
Switching from fullscreen app -> fullscreen app
Switching from fullscreen app -> not fullscreen app
Switching from not fullscreen app -> fullscreen app
For all of the above scenarios when the switch is completed, the app I am switching to loses focus, but the application bar still shows the correct application name (so it doesn't just switch to Finder). This happens regardless of if I use a multitouch gesture or CMD+TAB to do the switch. Also, when this happens "CMD + ~" doesn't switch between windows of the application switched to.
I would expect these scenarios to work the same as switching between regular applications where the one you switch to is in focus after the switch. Is this a bug with the fullscreen mode? or is there a setting I missed that can fix it? or is it a "feature"?
I thank you for any help you can provide - this irritating bug makes it impossible for me to use fullscreen mode for my purposes.

That was the problem! I had Live Wallpaper installed and running, so I guess I won't use that until there is an update to fix te problem.
Thanks!

Problem with Fullscreen mode

Hello. I have problem with Fullscreen mode in Pages 09. Let me explain it. I launch Pages 09 on space nr 4, than i activate fullscreen mode and now when fullscreen is active i switch for example to space nr 2. And what happens? Pages also moves to space nr 2, but i don't want to move my pages to space nr 2. I guess it is a bug in Pages 09. Thank you for your advice.

Hi There
By the sounds of this behaviour you haven't set any space options for Pages within System Preferences (Expose and Spaces Pane). After experimenting with different options this is what I experience:
1. Pages not listed in application assignment in spaces Preferences - Enter full screen in pages, switch from one space to another pages window will follow and exit fullscreen (this sounds like what you are experiencing).
2. Pages set to every space in app assignment - Enter full screen in pages, switch from one space to another and pages will follow but wont exit full screen.
3. Pages set to a single space in app assignment - Enter full screen in pages, switch from one space to another using control and arrow keys pages will pull me back into the space it is set to and will exit fullscreen. Using the control and number keys pages will stay in its set space but upon returning to that space pages had exited fullscreen.
I suggest you add pages to the the spaces application assignment in System Preferences by clicking the plus arrow under the list of apps and select a specific space for pages to open in, once open Pages will only move from this space if you move it manually.
You can send your feedback to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html if you wish
Hope this helps

Adobe Reader XI fullscreen mode now leaves title bar on Mac

Has anyone run into this problem? I just upgraded Adobe Reader X (for the Mac) to Reader XI. When I go into fullscreen mode or open a fullscreen document, a title bar is left at the top with the document title and the upper left buttons. This did not happen in versions IX or X; kinda defeats the purpose of the fullscreen mode for presentations. Is this a bug? Or a new "feature"? I'm still running Snow Leopard and haven't tried in 10.7 or 10.8.

I am having the very same problem!
Snow Leopard and the annoying title bar when in fullscreen.
Notice that it also shows the resize "handle" in the bottom right corner, which you can click and drag to resize the window.
So it actually is NOT a fullscreen view anymore.
I guess this has to do with Lion's OS fullscreen mode, but Adobe please correct this!!!
ADOBE, ARE YOU READING THIS? This title bar is an ISSUE!

Flash SA Projector crashes when in fullscreen mode

I've created a Flash SA Projector, it's a slideshow of sorts. It is on a timer and changes "slides" every 12 secs. It runs great inf Fullscreen Mode and normal mode. It is self running and I've let it run by itself for several hours. However, it crashes a few different cases and I'd like to know if any one can tell me why. This is happening on a new Mac Mini (Mac OS 10.7.2) - using Flash Player 10.3.183.11
Case 1: It's running in fullscreen mode and the computer goes to sleep. I wake up the computer and see the error message: "Flash Player quit unexpectedly".
Case 2: It's running in fullscreen mode and I switch applications (using Alt-Tab) - Crash! Does it when I switch to Finder or Safari. However, if I pause my application (it's a self running "slideshow"), so the timer is not running and no animations are happening, when I switch to a different application, it simple pops out of fullscreen mode and doesn't crash.
Is this a problem/bug with Flash Player? Anyone know a solution to this issue?
Thanks

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

How to stop exiting fullscreen mode

I am having a problem with a projector I just published for
Windows.
I am using AS2 Flash Player 8 because of all the bugs with
AS3.
My projector opens fine in fullscreen mode using
fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
On one frame I have a button that has fscommand("exec",
"myApp.exe"); This works fine as well.
The problem is that while launching the application my
projector leaves fullscreen mode and becomes a smaller window.
Is there any way to stop this from happening? I have
projectors that were created in Flash Player 6 where this problem
doesn't occur. I can't publish this in FP6 because it has FLVs.
Thanks in advance.

Try using FlashJester JStart, it doesn't go out of full
screen when you
click on it. Download an evaluation copy and try it

Fullscreen mode broken on OS X

If you try the following code in AIR for OS X and Windows you find that Windows correctly DOES NOT fire the ACTIVATE event when fullscreen is executed but OS X does:
window.nativeWindow.visible = true;
window.nativeWindow.stage.displayState = runtime.flash.display.StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
window.nativeWindow.addEventListener(air.Event.ACTIVATE, function() {
air.trace('ACTIVATE');
window.nativeWindow.addEventListener(air.Event.DEACTIVATE, function() {
air.trace('DEACTIVATE');
I've filed a bug for it in bugbase... but not sure how long Adobe take to fix bugs in AIR... and this is preventing my app from working as expected.
The reason is because I need to fire the fullscreen mode on activation of the window (fired after a user has deactivated the window) so it forces fullscreen mode for the app.
window.nativeWindow.addEventListener(air.Event.DEACTIVATE, function() {
air.trace('DEACTIVATE');
window.nativeWindow.minimize(); // this hides the window
window.nativeWindow.addEventListener(air.Event.ACTIVATE, function() {
air.trace('ACTIVATE');
window.nativeWindow.stage.displayState = runtime.flash.display.StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE; // reshows the window and makes it fullscreen
This works perfectly on Windows. But because OS X fires the event on fullscreen, it calls fullscreen again... and occasionally creates duplicate windows (which is another bug that only happens on OS X if fullscreen is called more than once and doesn't happen on Windows - again filed on bugbase).
Any ideas on how I can get around this in the mean time, until Adobe fixes the bugs?

Any updates? The bugs haven't had any progress on them over at bugbase either. Thanks.

MenuButton (or ChoiceBox) in fullscreen mode

Hello,
I am trying to use a MenuButton while my stage is in fullscreen mode. Unfortunately the layouting of the MenuItems after clicking the MenuButton is not correct.
Is there a solution for this problem or is it a bug ?
thanks!!

I'm not sure what the current road map is (does anyone actually know when the next release is due out?) but at a guess I'd say it won't be in the next two weeks.
I'm a few beers into Friday, so just a quick starter for you here. See how you go with this extremely rough code as a starting point, and maybe come back with the areas that you are having trouble sorting out. I couldn't find any Node.getLocationOnScreen, or the like, and Popup.show seems to work off screen coordinates (despite taking a Node as parameter) - I'd need to take a deeper look into the API, but maybe someone else will chime in with that piece of the puzzle?
public class TestApp extends Application
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
        launch(args);
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception
        Group rootNode = new Group();
        CustomCheckBox checkBox = new CustomCheckBox("Koala", "Kangaroo", "Platypus");
        checkBox.setLayoutX(200);
        checkBox.setLayoutY(100);
        rootNode.getChildren().add(checkBox);
        Scene scene = new Scene(rootNode, 800, 600);
        //scene.getStylesheets().add("styles.css");
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.setFullScreen(true);
        stage.show();
    private class CustomCheckBox extends Button
        private Popup popup;
        private StringProperty selectedItem;
        private CustomCheckBox(String... items)
            selectedItem = new SimpleStringProperty();
            popup = new Popup();
            popup.setAutoHide(true);
            VBox menu = new VBox();
            for (final String item : items)
                Button menuItem = new Button(item);
                menuItem.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>()
                    public void handle(ActionEvent actionEvent)
                        setText(item);
                        selectedItem.set(item);
                        popup.hide();
                menu.getChildren().add(menuItem);
            popup.getContent().add(menu);
            setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>()
                public void handle(ActionEvent actionEvent)
                    popup.show(CustomCheckBox.this,
                            getBoundsInParent().getMinX(),
                            getBoundsInParent().getMaxY());
        public StringProperty selectedItemProperty()
            return selectedItem;
        public String getSelectedItem()
            return selectedItem.get();
}

-Xtoolkit prism and fullScreen mode

When I run my program with -Xtoolkit prism vm argument I can't run in fullScreen mode, the program just ignores the fullScreen: true in my stage. Is this a bug?

Reminder: the Prism toolkit is experimental on the desktop, and should be used only for experimentations. So, yet, expects bugs, limitations, unfinished things, etc.

Fullscreen Mode - Failure

Help!...
Since installing J2SE 1.4.1-rc, my fullscreen mode application has stopped working.
I now get the following opengl initialization failure;
"The primary surface could not be created".
I'm running on Win2k. Looks like the application tries to flick to fullscreen mode, but the error comes up immediately.
Also get the same error when running the tutorial example (MultiBufferTest)
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/extra/fullscreen/example.html
Anyone else experiencing this?
Anyone got a solution?

Yes ... All fixed.
God I hate Windoze! Removed display adaptor and re-added it. Now using original display card Win2k drivers. Once DirectX 8 acceleration re-enabled (Dxdiag), all working fine.
Have finally got some 1.4.1 fullscreen game routines working and bug 4636548 has been fixed! I can got back to using Forte (at last!).
Thanks for the offer.

BugReport : System Dead when change display rotation with fullscreen mode app

There is a big bug in fullscreen mode with display rotation.
I find that if you try dispaly rotation after make some app(safari) fullscreen mode then the system crash.
1. I have mac book pro 13Inch Mid 2010,
2. Add one more display (display2)
3. open safari, make fullscreemode at display 2
4. open system preferences > displays > change display 2 rotations setting.
then CRASH and System Dead.

Amazing, it seems to work ! Thank you for your help stqn.
I just have a little question if I choosed compiz it s for there plugin they have, called "scale" that whenever yout put your mouse on a corner its shows all the windows that you have on the current screen. A bit like Mac OS X. I am not a fanatic of Alt TAB to switch windows, and I really find convenient this plugin.
Do you know if it would be possibile such a thing on LXDE openbox with compton ?

Strange results with fullscreen mode

My game sometimes looks like this http://www.geocities.com/fgdfg_dfgdfgd/
on windows 2000 and xp, has anybody else gotten this?

This happened to me when I was trying to set the display mode to 24 or 32 bit depth to match my images but due to a bug I found I was setting 16 or 8 bit depth. Check your code for setting the display mode and make sure you are really getting the bit depth you wanted.

How to prevent apps from going weird in Fullscreen mode?

Hi,
since I'm using Mavericks from time to time some apps have problems when running in fullscreen mode (recently Finder had also the same problem without fullscreen). I'm getting an application window like shown in the screenshot below. The only way I've found to fix this is to restart the application - with Finder I even had to do a killall Finder on the Terminal.
Has anyone experienced similar problems and maybe a solution for it?
Best regards
Achim
PS: I'm getting it on both my MacBooks both with single screen and with external display with sync off

Here's another set of screenshots: I had Mail.app in fullscreen mode and switched to the login window - after re-login the app looked like in the screenshot of my first post. I disabled fullscreen mode (the blue icon in the menu bar on the upper right) and it looked like this:
I can drag the window down (like in the screenshot below) but when I release the mouse button it snaps on the top of the desktop (like screenshot above). I cannot rezise etc. the window.
Really weird isn't it?
Best regards
Achim
