Fullscreen button outside the swf?

Hi,
I don't know anything about Flash, so please be gentle with me....
I have a swf file that doesn't have any fullscreen button although it's prepared for fullscreen anyway.
Now I'd like to have some kind of button beside/under or elsewhere in the html that can activate the fullscreen mode for the swf.
If it's possible to do this with a regular image, AS3 and html instead of creating a flash movie, that would be nice (see, that was probably a stupid qestion) as I have tried and tested half a dozen flash tutorials to no avail.
Oh, and IF the only way to do it is to create a button in flash, it need to be transparent.....
Thanks in advance for hints and help.

if it's a web-based swf, the button needs to be in the swf. a transparent button is fine.

How can flex tell if it's a mouseup event when the user releases the mouse button outside the flex application?

how can flex tell if it's a mouseup event when the user
releases the mouse button outside the flex application? Say for
instance mousedown was done within a 500x500 embedded flex app but
mouseup is outside or relased on the HTML background. One more
thing, when we have something draggable, Flex doesn't execute the
stopDrag() when the user releases the mouse button outside the
embedded swf or fles app. Pls. help me with this. Thanks!

I don't think the flex app can tell what happens outside the
app. But it can detect when it leaves the app, so I have found the
following line works fine inside initApp():
this.stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, yourFunction);
and you have to:
import flash.display.Stage;

TS1717 Everytime i open Itunes in windows 7 despite me specifying maximised it opens in window that is always too large for the screen. EVen windowing the frame and then remaximiseing puts the buttons outside the edge of the screen

Every time i open Itunes it starts in a window that is too large for the screen (despite me setting "start maximised" in the launch options). Then hitting the "maximise" button expands the window slightly pushing all the buttons and edge of the frame out of the screen and behind the taskbar at the bottom. I have to move the window to a place where i can resize it smaller than the screen then and only then does maximising the window fit it properly to the screen.

Okay, I just opened up Itunes this evening and it's not working again! Sheeshy Peetz!
HOWEVER, this time I followed some different steps and got it working.
(1) Uninstall Quicktime
(2) Uninstall Itunes
(3) Re-download Both
(4) Install Quicktime First! (Read #6 below first though)
(5) Install Itunes Next! (Read #6 below first though)
(6) Here is the CAVEAT for me: I have an SSD as my C:\Drive, which is where I originally installed both of them. So this time, I installed both Quicktime and Itunes to a Non-SSD drive, which was one of my SATA Drives.
(7) Start Itunes and Test your Movies now. For me I was able to play them finally. Who knows how long this will last lol.
Maybe this work for someone.

How to Create Buttons outside the stage area

I am able to create my flash project and make it function
they way I intended, however, I need to be able to place the
buttons, that control the flash, outside of the flash stage, in a
different location on the web page, is this possible ?

Could it be as simple as naming the external button the same
as the potential flash button, or does the flash movie only
recognize button presses within the flash movie. I suspect this is
true.
Is there any example code that would enable this ?

Press on Button and release outside the button armed frame

Press on Button using the Mouse and release outside the button armed frame does not generate MouseEvent.
Or Press on the Button outside the armed frame and release inside the armed frame does not generate MouseEvent.
Window 7
java version "1.6.0_22"
Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition for Business (build 1.6.0_22-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.1-b03, mixed mode, sharing)
The question :
Is this normal behaviour for Java Swing. Does this exist in the java specification? any idea ? or is this a bug ?
the sample code below for you to test
public class PanelButtonArmedFrameClick extends JPanel
   private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
   private JButton btn;
   public PanelButtonArmedFrameClick()
      btn = new JButton("Click on \n the button");
      this.add(btn);
      MouseListener mouseListener = new MyMouseAdapter();
      btn.addMouseListener(mouseListener);
   private static class MyMouseAdapter extends MouseAdapter
       * {@inheritDoc}
      public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(new JFrame(), "Button clicked");
   public static void main(String... args)
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
         public void run()
            JFrame frame = new JFrame("Testing");
            JPanel panel = new PanelButtonArmedFrameClick();
            frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
            frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 500));
            frame.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(500, 500));
            frame.pack();
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            frame.setVisible(true);
}

Sure this is not a bug and this is the behavior of mouseClickedEvent.
mouse clicked = mouse pressed + mouse released.
mouseClickedEvent is a combination of mousePressed and mouseReleased evenst which are generated at the same pixel location. So if you generate mousePressed and mouseReleased events at different locations you will not get mouseClicked event.
Thats why you are not getting mouse clicked event when you are performing mouse pressed event on one place and mouse released event on another place.

How do I add a FullScreen button to Project Playback Skin?

How do I add a fullscreen button to the project playback skin? I know how to load another skin (using Project -> Skin Editor) and how to add a custom playback skin (paste custom skin SWF into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 5\en_US\Gallery\Playbars) but I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to add a fullscreen button when editing the Flash AS3 so that it will show up in my custom playback skin when loaded into Captivate via Project->Skin Editor. Any ideas?

Hi there
I might assume that seeing as you were able to work the magick with the CC button it would be a simple task to pick apart the other elements and add the desired button without hijacking the CC button.
I mean, if you are that deep in Flash territory and all, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to figure out how the buttons are added, no?
Cheers... Rick

FLVPlayback screws up fullscreen and resizes my swf on "Esc"

OK, so I have been modifying the Adobe AS3 videogallery for my site. It got just about everything working but fullscreen.
1) The HTML is set to enable fullscreen
2) The playback component is the newest version
3) The Flashplayer is version 10+
So when you click on any of the videos in the menu it loads into the side panel and plays as it should. But when you click on the fullscreen button it goes into fullscreen mode, but only displays the first frame of my last video in the menu. That's all it does, really weird!
When you press, "Esc" it exits out of fullscreen and the swf that was at 100% centered is now aligned top left at it's original size of 723px
I have NO idea where to start here. The link to my site is below. Let me know what you think!
http://www.xsxtreme.com/index2.html

I mean sir, when I click on one of the imported videos the video itself covers the entire screen. What i need is when i click the button for video 1, for sample, it will load with the size i manually transform on the stage.. and when the time comes i press the FULLSCREEN button on the "SkinOverAll.swf" that when the fullscreen happens..
Again, my settings stageDisplayState is FULL_SCREEN and scaleMode is NO_SCALE on the first frame. So, when i go and click the tab for video page it started fullscreen. The problem happens when i started clicking on one of the buttons on the video page, the screen all turns to black.. And when i hit ESC the screen turn to normal and no video is playing.. Tried playing the video, it work fine and press the FULLSCREEN BUTTON work fine too {that's because the stageDisplayState is NORMAL..
I hope that you could really help with this one.. I have a deadline tomorrow..
Thanks again,
YSONG

Alex,
I'm not following you, why do I need a button?.....can create Mouse over and out events like this?:
var event:MouseEvent = new MouseEvent(MouseEventMouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER.);
myImage.dispatchEvent(event);
var even2t:MouseEvent = new MouseEvent(MouseEventMouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT.);
myImage.dispatchEvent(event2);
would this work?
BTW any idea if this is a Bug or known issue that I'm experiencing?

I created a link to a SWF in Dreamweaver, and can't close the SWF...

Hello all-
I am experimenting with a website in Dreamweaver, and created a link to a SWF. When the link is clicked, the SWF displays but there is no way to close it (it takes up the entire screen.) I know I need to add AS3 code to a close button in the SWF, and NOT close the browser window. I know the answer is simple, but fscommand("quit") doesn't seem to work....there should be a simple line of code that does this- if anyone knows I appreciate some help, and thank you in advance for your time!!!!

if you have access to the server where the swf resides, you can program a Flashcontainer (you need flash to do that not Dreamweaver) that loads the swf on your on stage (google as3 load external swf) and remove it deliberately.

Can button in loaded SWF file unload or close the file ?

Hi,
I am loading 2 SWF files A and B, I have a button on each.
When I press button on SWF A it loads SWF B. However I cannot get
the button to close / unload the SWF A.
Is this possible ?
To Load I am using:
Thanks,
Paul

No.I am using Loader since I dont need to pass one URL for fetching swf content.I need to get the displayobject from ByteArray which should be free from all the security issues.I heard that we cannot set 'securityDomain' property of loaderContext (using in Loader) in AIR.So please give a solution for getting bytes.

Keep image size unchanged when fullscreen the swf movie

Hi,
i am including a image on SWF file (using Flash CS4) i want images to keep its original dimension whether user fullscreen the SWF movie or play it on windows.
currently i do not have any action script or coding on my .fla file. when i publish the movie and fullscreen it, the image i put in fla file get all stretched out and blur. Please help me to figure out how to keep the dimension unchanged.
Thank you

All you have to do is to set the scalemode of the stage to "noscale"
In AS3 add the following code:
import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
stop();
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
There is a similar code for AS2, i think infact its the same this
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Thanks

I want the reload button to appear outside the address bar (on the left, next to the back and forward buttons), not at the extreme end of the address bar. How can I do this?

I want to re-position the reload button to appear outside the address bar (on the left, next to the back and forward buttons), not where it is at the moment, which is at the extreme end of the address bar and is a real hassle to use. How can I do this?

To move the Stop and Reload buttons to their position to the left of the location bar you can use these steps:
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
* Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
* Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
* Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise (Space or Separator) to get two distinct buttons.
