Full Screen in Flash 8

I know extremely little about Flash and AS but i would to be
able to set my flash site into full screen at a touch of a
keypress. I have seen tutorials on achieving this in Flash 8 but
they were beyond my level of Flash knowledge. Would anyone be able
to tell me or point me in the direction of a really good tutorial
for my level that would tell me how to do this?
Thanks!

I just gave this a try on my triple monitor setup but couldn't reproduce the problem. I tried both extending and duplicating the desktops but they all worked as expected. If Firefox is working fine, then I wouldn't suspect your video driver but it's probably worth taking a look regardless to make sure you have the latest driver installed. Next, try temporarily disabling hardware acceleration to see if that makes a difference.
How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?

Are you using IE in desktop mode or modern/metro mode?
Thanks,

I cannot view videos in full screen using Flash Player

I currently have Windows 8. I was pulling up some videos to get ready to watch some football games through a website. The video plays just fine until I tried to make it full screen. Then the screen is black but the audio continues just fine. I've tried all of the fixes that I can find with no luck in resolving the issue. According to Adobe's website, Flash Player is already embedded in Internet Explorer for Windows 8, so I cannot technically "install" it. According to Adobe's website, I have the most current version.
Please help! The game is on Saturday!

Ugh! This is why I don't use Internet Exploder. May I suggest downloading Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/), and the Flash Player (Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)) for it, and see if it works better? I'll bet it does.

Full Screen + Html + Flash Issues

Hello, I have an Air app that will be running in Full screen
interactive mode. Inside this app, I have an html control that is
setup to view a page of mine that contains a flash file. The flash
file is setup to fill the page and runs great in ie and firefox,
but when i run the air app, the screen flashes and jumps all over
the place and is very glitchy, if I bring it down to less than full
screen it returns to normal, then glitches out again when i
maximise...what do you recommend I check out with this odd issue?
The following url is my flash page link:

Hi,
SWF content in HTML has some limitations in AIR as mentioned
in the
AIR
release notes. But this seems to be a new issue.
If you can create a minimal sample that reproduces the issue,
it would be great if you could submit a bug report at

How do I watch BBC iPlayer in full screen with flash player 10.1

I was able to watch BBC iPlayer in full screen with Firefox. I can now only watch full screen with IE.
Why can I not watch iPlayer in full screen with Firefox anymore?
== After Flashplayer 10.1 installed

I have tried in safe mode and as expected it makes no difference. I am still not able to view in full screen like IE it just shows a blank white screen. I was able to view full screen with the same extensions before so removing them has not made any difference.
Thank you for your reply anyway.

How is it possible that my MBP Retina display gets extremely hot after 15 mins of playing a full screen 2D flash game?

The problems happens over and over. I usually get scared after it is hot for 30 mins and then let it cool down by not using it for a while. Then the problem repeats. I downloaded an app to measure the heat of my MBP and it said 99C which I doubt is possible, but that should give an indiciation. I'm pretty sure however I could fry and egg on it. It gets hot between the screen and keyboard, where there is a fan located.
Many thanks!

Well the rMBP is made for thinness and light weight so the cooling isn't that great. That is why Apple included vents on the bottom sides of the unit. Also to power that screen take a lot of power whcih make the system run hotter then standard unit.

Flash Player crashes when going into full screen mode

Hey guys! It's basically as the title implies. Whenever I am watching a video and attempt to go into full screen mode, flash player crashes and I get an error window reading "Adobe Flash Player 11.3 r300 has stopped working". As a matter of fact, it doesn't even happen all the time. It happens most of the time, however. It has happened even immediately after searching for and installing the newest version. What might be causing this and what can I do to resolve it? I am using Windows 7 32-bit and Firefox as my browser.
Thanks in advance friends!

this may be hardware related. try unselecting "Hardware Acceleration..."
right click a movie or flash content and uncheck the box in the first tab in Settings. quit out of the browser and try fullscreen again.

Loadmovie for flash mobile full screen?

I tried using flash mobile full screen with flash lite 2.1.
How do I load a movie?
I tried to embed a FLV, but when I tried to publish it I got
an error.
It said :
WARNING: This movie uses features that are not supported in
the Flash Lite 2.1 player
Scene=Scene 1, layer=Content, frame=1:VP6 Codec requires
Flash Player 8 or higher
I tried it by creating the video as an swf, then using
loadmove to play it but that did not work in
the windows browser, using flashplayer 9. Would it work on a
mobile phone, or
is there something else I have to do.

Hi Travistee,
You can load a movie with a embed video using
movie_mc.loadMovie("file.swf").
Did you try to encoding the video with Sorenson Spark video
codec? The error was the video encode feature.
Try this sequence:
1. File > import video
2. Press Next
3. Select the video
4. Press Next
5. Chose embed video in SWF and play in timeline
6. Press Next
7. Press Next again
8. On encoding step click in 'Show Advanced Settings', select
the video codec Sorenson Spark.
9. Press next and finish.
You can find video playback issues on the QTek 8310, 9000,
9100 and i-Mate MP5 devices.

ITunes will not open full screen mode in Mavericks

Hello,
Ever since a recent upgrade to Mavericks, iTunes will not open in full screen. When I click the full screen expander in the controls or in View>Enter Full Screen iTunes flashes the library and then back to the movie playing and makes the "funk" sound.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, open System Preferences > General, and make sure that "Close windows when quitting an application" is marked. Then, open iTunes and press the Esc key to get out of full-screen, and close iTunes. The next time it starts, it should be in a classic window

Opening swf in full screen mode

Hi,
Is there a way to adjust the screen resolution through actionscript? My requirement is to open the flash movie in full screen mode while all the contents are resized according to the screen size that the movie clip is runing. Please note the movie is not opening on a browser, it should be opened as a stand-alone SWF file.
I tried to do this by setting stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN; at the begining of actionscripot, but it didn't work.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am using the below function and it is working fine..
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
fullScreenBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onfullScreen);
function onfullScreen(event:MouseEvent):void
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
i think the problem is you are trying to load it full screen from flash IDE, if so then it will not work, Try to run the SWF file seperately, it would definately work.

Full Screen PROB

Hi All,
I'm having some problems when using full screen on Flash.
I have my stage content and also a FLV running I want the whole stage to go fullscreen when I hit the fullscreen button not only the flv.
I've tried using the player fullscreen button and also created a button of my own but both of them turn only the movie in fullscreen!
here is the code I used for my button
// full screen
fullscreen_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fullScreen);
function fullScreen(event:MouseEvent):void {
    if (fullscreen_mc.currentFrame == 1){
        stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
        fullscreen_mc.gotoAndStop(2)
    else {
        stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
        fullscreen_mc.gotoAndStop(1)
Any help would be appreciated!!!
thanks

Help me debug: full screen video - crash/freeze/blackscreen

I've had this issue for a few months and have not been able to fix or find out what the cause is. When I play a video in full screen (usually Flash within Chrome browser, but occasionally with VLC), after about 1 minute, the audio will skip/freeze, video will also skip and go black or show an odd pattern, and the entire system becomes unresponsive. I can't switch to a different TTY or Sysreq REISUB. Journalctl -b -1 (from the last boot) does not show anything unusual. Here's an example video that causes the full screen crash: http://vimeo.com/15247292 (NSFW). I'm running KDE with xf86-video-ati driver on a Radeon HD 5770.
Help me debug this issue. What could it be? How do I find out what the problem is and/or how to avoid it?

I may have found what's causing the issue. I'm using Redshift, which messes with the color temperature. So far, disabling Redshift before going full screen, I haven't had any more crashes. I'll try this for a while longer, and probably make a bug report if it keeps on working.
Update: Turns out the crash would happen even without Redshift or xgamma. I've changed the Radeon DPM setting to "performance" instead of "balanced" setting, and I haven't had a crash in a day.

Can't run flash player in full screen on 2nd monitor

Hi all! I have a laptop with dual video displays. The main
display is the laptop's LCD and the 2nd display is a 19" LCD
connected via VGA cable. I want to let a Flash movie loop endlessly
on the second monitor while I continue to work on the laptop. When
I drag Flash Player 8 over to the 2nd monitor and start the movie,
I can hit maxmize and it will take up the entire 2nd montior as it
should...with the file options and boarder around as expected. I
then hit Ctrl-F to go full screen and it snaps directly to the
laptop's primary monitor. I tried it at work where my desktop has 2
displays and the same thing happens. I need to force Flash player
to run full screen on the 2nd monitor and cannot find a way to
accomplish this. Any help is appreciated because it's driving me
nuts. I can always make the external monitor my primary but then
the start button and all my icons move there too and that is not
acceptable. Thanx!

Seriously? No one has any thoughts about this? I can't
believe I would be the first to come across this issue.

Flash player does not work in full screen

I am not able to get flash player. version 10, to work in full screen with firefox 3.6 on neither Mandriva 2010 or Ubuntu 10.10. I also do not have access to the settings. It is blacked out.

Sometimes disabling Hardware Acceleration in Flash Player Settings helps with fullscreen poblems.
But since you cannot access the Settings, you need to fix that problem first. On Windows, this can often be fixed by deleting the 'Flash Player' folders in %APPDATA%\Adobe and %APPDATA%\Macromedia. Unfortunately I do not know where these settings are kept on Linux.

Flash Player doesn't play smoothly and out of sync in full screen

Hello! Everyone
The flash player (11.2.202.235) does not play smoothly and in full screen audio and vidoe is out of sync. I didn't use to have any problem at all, it only started about two weeks ago and since then despite trying various things (i.e. disabling hardware excelration, uninstalling & reinstalling, trying various browsers etc.) has not resolved the issue. I don't know why it has suddenly stopped playing smoothly as I have not installed any software recently which might have cuased this.
I am using Windows XP (service pack3) and have dual partion with dual operating system (both XP). There is the same problem on both operarting system and flash player won't run smoothly on either of them. Although my computer and graphics card is quite old but the downloaded movies/DVD playback is fine even in full screen. It runs smoothly and audio&video is in sync so I don't think it could my the graphics card.
As I mentioned I have tried all the browsers but without any luck. The BBC iplayer plays ok most of the time if not in full screen but as soon as you make it full screen the vidoe is more like a slide show and very jittery and audio&video gets out of sync. Same with youtube vidoes, they play ok when not in full screen but the video in full screen does not play smoothly and audio&vidoes gets out of sync. However the ITV player & Channel 4 content on 4OD does not even play smoothly when not in full screen and the video&audio is out of sync all the time.
It would be really helpful if anyone can suggest anything to resolve this issue as I have not been able to find anything on the internet to solve the problem and its driving me up the wall. Although I have tried to include as much details as I could think of so please let me know if I have missed any details that could be crucial in order to identify the problem.
Thank you very much for reading this and taking the time to reply and your feedback.

Would you mind opening a new bug on this at bugbase.adobe.com? Please include your dxdiag report, a specific URL and a link to this forum thread.
In the meantime, you might want to try our 11.3 beta or rollback to a previous version of the player to see if that resolves the problem.
Thanks,
Chris
