FLV in fullscreen Projector file forces background to black

I am producing a fullscreen projector (.exe) file and have some large videos that cause the background to go black when they come on the stage.
When I test the movie (not in fullscreen), it works just fine.
I've tried the solutions offered in these questions:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9165659/flash-projector-fullscreen-flv-always-has-black -background
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/324102/non-fullscreen-flvplayback
..still no luck

That's right -you mentioned the fullscreenTakeOver property and there seem to be many mentions of it in other forums as a fix, but I guess I needed a bit more handholding. I tried setting it to false using a few different methods. None worked.
This did -on the first frame after invoking fullscreen:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ADDED, onAdded);
function onAdded(e:Event)void  {
     if (e.target is FLPlayback) e.target.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
Thanks kglad for pointing me in the right direction.

  • Window Order with Fullscreen  Projector file

    For Actionscript 2.0
    I have a projector exe which is invoked full screen.
    In the exe I have a button which invokes a URL using the
    getURL command. This link gets invoked in the browser window in the
    background and since the projector exe is playing fullscreen I dont
    see the browser.
    I am looking for a way to invoke this url so that it gets
    invoked on top of this window(in front of this window in terms of
    window order). see code below...

    Yes this is possible by using third pary tools.

  • Projector files questions

    I recently had a Flash projector file I had to add narration to as well as clean up some timing issues. This project was the first projector project I had worked on so I dove into it poking around to see how it functions. I notice that within the file folder there is a separate player.fla file which seems to be using an fscommand to load into the presentation .fla. I do not see a loadmovie or any other script for it (it's in AS2)
    I wanted to see how the play, stop and pause btns for the player worked as it calls the background music.mp3 file by xml along with separate flash players that play small flv's within the presentation. Those I can create with Slideshow pro but I want to know how I can create a Flash presentation either .exe or .app that has a player which will allow the user to stop and start the presentation.
    Any help?
    rd

    Hey kglad you are the man! I think I must have wrote this before, but getting to your answer:
    I know you only publish one file as I had mentioned in the original post the fla calls a player.fla  into the main.swf / exe.
    I was just inquiring on how I can insert a player with stop and play buttons.
    Would I just call the player with AS?
    Here is the link for what I mean, I saved the swf  as the presentation calls a player within the presentation file.

  • Running projector files on Microsofts Surface 2 SUR40 table

    Hi!
    I've been trying to get this working for a week now. I'm basically trying to get flash projector files to run through the SUR40's Launcher environment under SurfaceMode. On the regular desktop, everything works fine, I can open the exe without any issues.
    Whenever I run it through ShellMode, SurfaceMode or SurfaceDebugMode, the Launcher tries to open the application, ACTUALLY OPENS IT, but doesn't display it correctly. When I'm in ShellMode (on the desktop), I can see the exe open in the background and on the taskbar. It seems as if the Surface Launcher can't tell whether or not the application has actually loaded or not. After 10 seconds, it times out and closes it.
    As far as I can see in the AdminGuide for the table, "SignalApplicationLoadComplete" has something to do with it. But that's part of the Surface API...
    Any ideas, tricks or whatnot?
    UPDATE:
    After a little more rummaging around, it is indeed ApplicationServices.SignalApplicationLoadComplete(); that's missing... The FlashPlayer.exe doesn't run this of course.

    Hey,
    thanks for reply...

    Also (I'm not sure, but maybe) files are truncated or removed when system is suspended.

    I will see in few days or more, maybe that is a sync problem.

  • Projector file - exe does not play

    newbie here.
    Flash CS4 Professional
    XP SPII
    Published a projector file (exe) with a video that runs fine
    as a swf. Exe is a 4 mb file; sounds about the right size.
    Ran the exe on my computer; worked perfectly. Thought I was
    all set.
    Tried it on 2 other similar PCs (though not installed with
    Flash); the application opened, title bar showed Flash player 10,
    but the window was blank - white screen. Nothing happened.
    There must be a simple answer here, but help and search of
    forum revealed nothing.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    (I was wrong about the size of the exe. 4 mb included just
    the Flash player code, not my video - of course.)
    And yes, that is why the exe did not play on another
    computer. When I ran it on my computer, I had the exe in the same
    directory as the flv. So the exe could find the flv. But on another
    computer (where there was no flv), it did not work -- the exe could
    not find the flv file. I did not understand the dependency on the
    flv. Now, I do.
    I understand the path part of your answer; that makes sense.
    But having to provide 2 files (the exe and the flv) for another
    computer is awkward. I want a single, self-contained exe file.
    I guess that embedding the flv file into the swf makes sense,
    too. But I had to figure out how to do that.
    Once again, y'all have lead me to the answer. For the benefit
    of others who might read this...
    a search of the knowledgebase revealed this link:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Flash/10.0_UsingFlash/WSBDABD69F-D146-4e5c-9340-BF717A10426C.h tml
    That instructed me to create a new flash file, click frame 1
    in the timeline; then click File/Import/Import video/ and then
    select
    "Embed FLV into SWF and play in timeline" option, and follow
    the wizard to completion.
    Then, when you publish it as an projector file (an exe), the
    exe will include the video.
    (As I expected, the size of the exe is not 9 mb; that is
    because the exe now includes both the flash player and my video.)
    Thanks,

  • Streaming video in a projector file

    Hello - I created a projector file that has a section with streaming video. For some reason, it automatically goes to fullscreen when I go to this section. What do I do to make the video NOT play in fullscreen, but just staying within the stage exactly how I placed it? any help is greatly appreciated.

    First, you'll need to include the QT video file on the CD.
    See the manual and
    search for past posts in here to avoid the dreaded "Where
    is..." dialog.
    You can include the QT installer on the CD if you sign and
    comply with
    Apple's free Software Distribution Agreement.
    http://developer.apple.com/softwarelicensing/agreements/quicktime.html
    Or you could simply make it a requirement for the CD and
    supply a download
    link for them. I just tried

  • Ctrl-c in bash kill openbox started from rc file as background job

    Hi,
    Ctrl-c in bash kill openbox started from rc file as background job.
    strange, isn't it ?

    I want to have openbox in the job list of a bash. as if my xinitrc was "exec xterm" and I manualy enter the "openbox &" commande in the xterm window. I suppose this is a common wish : telling bash to read from file then from keyboard, but that not exactly what bashrc do.

    ps have PGID equal to the bash TPGID, so it is foreground. openbox from PROMPT_COMMAND have his own PGID, so it is background. openbox from bashrc share PGID wish bash ... so if bash do not consume Ctrl-c signal openbox receive it ? I assume it is some things like this, but why ? INVOCATION and JOB CONTROL sections in bash manpage do not seems describe this, so that's a strange behaviour.

  • .exe projector file for PC works fine, but extracted .hqx for Mac won't open when on CD

    I'm using Flash MX, AS 2, Projector 6, working on a PC.
    I saved two versions of my project -- one .exe for Windows and one .hqx for Mac.  The .exe works fine when burned onto a CD.  When opening the .hqx from a CD on a Mac, I got a message that the file is on a locked volume.  I discovered that the reason for this is that an .hqx is essentially a zipped file which has to be extracted, and when a file is extracted, the unzipped files are written onto the same location as the original.  When the original files are on a CD, Stuffit (Mac's zip extractor program) can't write onto that location.
    [So if anyone at Adobe looks at these forum posts, let me say that I think its absolutely ridiculous that the Mac version of Flash's projector files have to be extracted in order to be viewed!]
    To get around this problem, I saved the .hqx on my PC, put it on a portable hard drive and brought it over to a Mac (because Stuffit for PC converts it into an .exe for PC), and unzipped it.  When I'd test it on the portable hard drive or on a USB drive, the extracted file would work.  When I'd bring it back over to the PC and burn a CD with both versions on it, and then test that CD on the Mac, it wouldn't work.  Can anyone tell me why the extracted Mac version works on a hard drive, but not on a CD?  What do I have to do in order to make a Mac projector file work from a CD?

    Windows uses the FAT file system, Macs use the HFS file system. The two are not compatible. If you save a Mac projector file on a FAT file system, it won't be saved properly and it won't work. When you create a Mac projector from a Windows version of Flash, the file will be saved as a compressed .hqx file.
    Since you need to use a Mac to create a hybrid CD, when you move that .hqx file to the Mac, unstuff it and then use the resulting file for the CD. It will then run from the CD as expected.

  • .swf opening old Projector file instead of SAFlash Player

    I'm having an issue with SAFlash Player and all of the SWF
    files on my Mac. Any .SWF file I double click launches an old
    Projector file I created instead of the SAFlash Player 8! So, I go
    to GET INFO and try to change the Open With option to the SAFlash
    Player.... and click Change All. Unfortunately, it just does not
    take. And to my surprise, the "Open with" drop down list contains
    multiple copies of the Projector files I created months ago!!!
    There are about 10 instances of one and 16 of another... the
    SAFlash Player option and the Flash application option are way at
    the bottom of the list. What is going on?
    The weirdest thing is that when I launch a swf file it shows
    me the projector file I created but the audio is from the SWF I'm
    trying to view! This is driving me crazy.... any and all
    suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

    Double click on the version you require for your
    SAFlashPlayer.exe. Then
    close it.
    This will reassociate your SWF files to this player.

    Hi everyone,
    im using Flash CS4 slide presentation to make a education CD. In the end of the slides i want to open a pdf file.
    How can i do it? Is it a east way to do it?
    I publish the project as a projector file. I tested to use GetURL but the file wont open. I have the pdf-file
    in the same folder as the projector exe-file.
    The education will be distributed on CD-ROM.

  • Fscommand exec on mac to open pdf works in a cs3 projector file but not in a cs5 projector file

    Hi,
    I could succesfully open a external pdf with the following command in Flash cs3 on a Mac:
    fscommand("exec", "test.app");
    test.app (inside an fscommand folder) is an apple script that opens the pdf inside the fscommand folder, to make it work I needed to copy the fscommand folder into the MacOs Folder of the Mac Projector File. The same steps don't seem to work with Flash cs5. I can't downgrade my cs5 project to cs3.
    Is this problem a bug in Flash cs5?
    Has anyone solved this problem?
    Thank you.

    I had this same issue today - could not get a mac projector, FP 10, built in cs5, to run fscommand("exec", "test.app") no matter what I tried. I also couldn't find any definitive threads via google, so here's everything I know about fscommand("exec") for anyone who's looking.
    I wanted to run a custom batch (.bat) file on windows and a custom applescript file on mac. I needed to restart a legacy, cross-platform kiosk application on a click (unfortunately could not use AIR).
    On the Mac (Flash CS5) - First off - Flash CS5 on Mac did not work no matter what I tried
    I also tried opening up the .app package contents and copying the fscommand folder into that, with no luck.
    You have to create the projector in CS4 (I down-saved to CS4 and used my PC running CS4 to publish) and put the "callee" .app in a folder named fscommand alongside the projector.
    I used these directions to create an .app of my applescript that restarts my projector: http://soapbox.lafayette.edu/node/517
    Here's the applescript I wrote:
    tell application "kiosk"
        -- kill the "caller" app if running
        quit
    end tell
    set myFile to (path to me)
    tell application "Finder"
       -- the delay wasn't needed in practice, but might be of help
       -- delay 1
        open application file "kiosk.app" of container of container of myFile
    end tell
    Now when I call
    fscommand("exec", "restart.app");
    on a mac, my kiosk restarts as expected.
    For PC peeps, I used this awesomely simple solution on windows (Flash CS4)
    http://www.northcode.com/blog.php/2007/08/07/Conquering-FSCommand-EXEC-Part-1-Proxy
    I put two files in my fscommand folder (at the same directory level as my projector):
    - restart.exe (proxy.exe from above link renamed)
    - restart.bat
    The .bat file simply has 1 line that starts my projector (in the parent folder):
    ..\kiosk.exe
    I call
    fscommand("exec", "restart.exe");
    and then have a 1 second timeout to kill the first "caller" projector. I wrapped the function as it didn't seem to work otherwise:
    setTimeout(function(){fscommand("quit");}, 1000);
    Yes, this means that I have two instances of the kiosk running at the same time for about 1 second.
    Apologies if my response was slightly off-topic, but I hope the info helps someone avoid losing a whole evening on a pressing deadline like me!

  • Mac projector file looking for movie

    Hi
    I am using Director 11.5 and am having a problem with the Mac projector file.
    I am creating the files on a PC. I then copy the file across to the Mac.
    When I load the file and click on the first linked file it can't find it and keeps asking for the file.
    I have checked and double checked that the file is there in the Publish settings and that I have spelt it correctly.
    However everytime I click it asks for the Movie.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Graham

    Hi Graham,
    1) How sad that no one has answered this post yet... I used to love Director but am now so disillusioned with the lack of documentation and support for it... that being said...
    2) I'm certain this answer is too simplistic to be helpful, but without knowing any more about your settings/etc., I can only offer the most obvious response: is there any chance that the path is the problem? Is the movie linked by an absolute path? When it asks for the movie, does it show a path (e.g., one that's on your pc but not your mac) where it's looking. I remember using relative paths with Director 8 and having to change the path to an @ to denote that it needs to be relative. That's my best guess for now.
    I hope that it helps just to have received a response, if you're even checking this post anymore... it has been a while since you wrote it.
    Best of luck... maybe it's time for all of us to move on to something else...

  • Embedding video into Projector file

    First of all, sorry, I know this question has been asked
    before, but I couldnt find an answer in the other threads.
    I am looking for a way to embed my mov files into the .exe
    projector file so you do not need to include the mov files on the
    final disc. The reason I need this is because I am creating an
    enchanced DVD, which included DVD footage which you can watch on a
    TV, but when the DVD is in a PC, you can click on a button which
    launches a projector file. The only prob is that I can only link to
    1 file, and this one file is then embedded in the video TS file.
    Hope this makes sense.

    You cannot embed video content as such. You may be able to
    use a binary io xtra such as
    vList
    to create an internal member with the same data as the external
    video file, but you will need to write the internal member back out
    to the hard disk before Director will be able to play it. You could
    then delete the temporary file.
    There are ways to retrieve the media of internal members
    (other than scripts) from a protected cast. The strongest
    protection you could apply would be encryption to the internal
    member. Having said that, during the time the video file is on the
    hard disk, a savvy and unscrupulous user could copy it for playback
    elsewhere.
    In other words, there is no way to protect your video file
    completely.
