Keyboard Input in fullscreen mode!!

Hello,
I know that adobe has blocked the keyboard input in fullscreen mode.
But, is there any other way to implement that.

That doesnt work.
At FullScreen the Flash Player is active and Javascript does not get the keyboard events (I think)
you can try here:
(just click on the right side to activate HTML , then press a key...
Javascript sends the keyCode as a Number to Flash and Flash changes the x position of the button)

Add "Minimize Window" keyboard shortcut to Fullscreen mode

CTRL+M does not work and having to press F before defeats the purpose.
Nick

Well, sort of. See these two discussions:

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7254158
The shortcut that adsfushi72 describes will un-minimize one and only one window per application.

Input Textfields not working in fullscreen mode

Input Textfields not working in fullscreen mode any one help me.

Quotes from Adobe:
"Users cannot enter text in text input fields while in full-screen mode. All keyboard input and key-related ActionScript is disabled while in full-screen mode, with the exception of the keyboard shortcuts that take the viewer out of full-screen mode."

Temporarily show tab bar upon switching tabs with the keyboard in fullscreen mode

I use Firefox in fullscreen mode and switch tabs with Ctrl + PgUp/PgDn. I need to peek at the tab bar when I switch tabs, to avoid searching for the desired tab with multiple shortcut presses.
Is there a way to temporarily show the tab bar when I switch tabs with the keyboard shortcut? I want the tab bar to hide again after, say, 2 seconds of no tab switching.

You can try to set the focus to the location bar with Ctrl+L before switching the tabs to make the toolbar and tab bar appear.

Runnng external swf Actionscript while in fullscreen mode

I am using Flash 9.0 (CS3 Pro). I am coding in Actionscript
3.0
I have two swf files, both interactive. During playback of
the, a mouse event launches the second. I also want the mouse event
to trigger a switch to fullscreen mode. The second swf is
non-linear and requires user input to jump to the appropriate frame
of the timeline. Everything tests and runs perfectly during
standard screen mode but whenever I try to load and play the
external swf file in fullscreen mode, Flash recognizes the
actionscript built into the original SWF but ignores all of the
Actionscript (this.stop(), this.gotoAndPlay(), etc.) embedded in
the second (external) swf file.
How can I get external swf files to load with their scripted
functionality in fullscreen mode?
Thanks for the help.
Aaron
The code I am using is:
// --- this is the code contained in the first swf file
// function to launch second SWF file
function movieLaunch(event:MouseEvent):void
// Sets display mode to fullscreen. With this line present,
Flash does not look at any Actionscript in ip.swf
// If I comment the below line out, the second SWF plays
correctly and has full functionality
stage.displayState = "fullScreen";
// load and launch second movie (ip.swf) which is located in
the same directory
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ip.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(request);
addChild(loader);
// Sets the listener for the button that will launch the
second movie.
launchMovieButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
movieLaunch);

The keyboard is disabled in fullscreen mode. This may be
causing the problem?

Problem responding to events in fullscreen mode

I made a fullscreen game and I'm trying to get it to respond to the mouse or keyboard input. The problem is it only responds a few second after I press the button. Does anyone know how I could speed up the response? All my code is posted below.
EDIT: I did some experimenting and it looks like device.isDisplayChangeSupported() returns false and the resolution never gets changed to 800x600 (I haden't noticed this before since I was flooding the whole screen with black). I also took a look at the resolutions I could manually set the monitor to and it only shows 1280x800 and 1024x768. This is under Ubuntu Linux. Even though I haven't run this program under my Windows installation, I'm sure I can change to 800x600 resolution there since I've done it manually and through other programs. Does anybody know any solutions to this? I will probably try running the program under Windows and see what happens.

Do you get this behavior when it's not fullscreen (and the rest is the same)?

I have a new mac book pro (sept 2014) and am suddenly stuck on the log-in screen. Keyboard input not working to enter my password. Already tried a basic restart and a cmmnd/ cntrl/ pwr troubleshoot to no effect.

I have a new mac book pro (sept 2014) and am suddenly stuck on the log-in screen. Keyboard input is not working to enter my password. Seems to be a log in issue as keyboard works for forced troubleshooting. (And b/c when I first noticed the problem, I was able to enter my log in password but then everything sort of froze. Now, no ability to enter the password.) Already tried a basic restart and a cmmnd/ cntrl/ pwr troubleshoot to no effect.

Firefox and Thunderbird are suddenly not accepting keyboard input

Keyboard shortcuts still work just input in any kind of input field fails so I can still use ctrl+C / CTRL+V to somewhat use firefox and Thunderbird But all input fields are completely unresponsive to keyboard input
The problem suddenly arose while I was browsing.
I have the same issue on all program's based on the Gecko engine and I confirmed them so far in Firefox, waterfox, instantbird, thunderbird and fossamail. However chromium / windows / basically everythign n
To fix it I tried the following:
Restarting firefox
Restarting firefox in savemode
Rebooting
Changing the keyboard layout in windows
Using a different keyboard
Again rebooting
Pressing F7 to check for caret mode which was disabled
pressing winkey + F9 (Whatever that does)
I am running windows 8.1(x64)

Solved, Changing the keyboard layout again and rebooting fixed it. I tried using the on screen keyboard which worked so I changed the keyboard layout again and rebooted and now it works just fine. I still wonder what caused a Gecko wide issue like this?

How to make fullscreen mode work using javascript

1.I want to open the window in fullscreen mode.
It works fine for internet explorer.
But in netscape navigator 8.0 as the tab browsing is there
The menu bar appears on the page.
That i don't want.
2. Also when the window opens in full screen mode and if after that
i press the ctrl+N the new window doesn't open in full screen mode.
Giving the sample code as below.
So how to make it work in full screen mode in both cases.
//The sample code is given
//check.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Full Screen </TITLE>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button" onClick="myPopup()" value="POP!">
</form>
<p onClick="myPopup()">CLICK ME TOO!</p>
</body>
</HTML>Plz help me.
Thanx in Advance.
Reema.

dont try to use a browser for what its not intended to do.
A browser is never been intended to work in fullscreen mode. Trying to control the size a browser is displayed in, is considered bad practice and sites that do it are usually very annoying.

OSX/SL 10.6.8 all window apps lose keyboard input; mouse and cmd-N work for spaces

Input suddenly stops going to all applications, from MacBook Pro and wireless keyboards, and from "Show Keyboard viewer" (OSX 10.6.8 'Snow Leopard', MacBook Pro). Though the OSX Keyboard Viewer shows the keys onscreen as they are pressed on the MacBook and wireless keyboards. 'Spaces' responds to cmd-N commands, but no input is possible to any running or newly-started 3rd party or Apple-provided application. Killing off applications one by one doesn't recover keyboard input ability; a complete reboot appears necessary to restore the ability to key input into applications. This happens repeatedly, yet never registers as an OS/X 'crash' because 'Force Quit'ting applications and restarting is still possible using only the magic mouse or trackpad. No data whether only logging out and back in would correct the apparent input-focus disconnect of all applications with the window manager. There may be some way to restart the window manager by using the mouse to open up new apps and/or cut and paste characters ( including a carriage return ) or cut and paste entire saved typed commands into a terminal window.

Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Photohop CS6 Update to 13.0.2 breaks keyboard input and shortcuts

Hi,
I just got the new update to 13.0.2 and after installing it Photoshop doesn't recognize keyboard input as expected? Shortcuts are not working anymore. Input values are not recognized. Text editing not possible anymore. etc.
And: When I start Photoshop I get the following trial info:
Master Collection trial. 32767 DAYS REMAINING
Thats over 89 years – I can live with that. ;-)
But there is something wrong with that update, that makes it impossible to continue my work.
Regards
PS: Is it possible to uninstall this update or do I have to uninstall Photoshop at all?

Thank you for the quick answer.
Sytem Info tells me …
Optional and third party plug-ins:
   Interpolate CS6 (13.0) ©1993-2012 Adobe Systems Incorporated - from the file “Interpolate.plugin”
   Match Edges CS6 (13.0) ©1993-2012 Adobe Systems Incorporated - from the file “Interpolate.plugin”
Plug-ins that failed to load: NONE
Flash:
   Mini Bridge
   Kuler
Installed TWAIN devices: NONE
In the meantime I did a system restart and several Photoshop restarts. Finally some weirdness is gone. Trial mode seems to be gone and Photoshop seems to be activated again.
Two thing left:
1. I do have a text element, for instance, thats acting weird. The screenshot shows two "Login" text items with exactly the same settings for font and size. But they are displayed differently.
Easy fix: delete the weirdo and create a new one. But still worth mentioning, I think.
2. One of my favorite shortcuts is gone. cmd+alt+0 (num pad) to set zoom to 100%
Easy fix: set the shortcut again via Edit > Keyboard shortcuts …
Sorry for panicking, but I was really worried to lose the day looking at installers. ;-)

Firefox not responding to keyboard input

I'm having issues with Firefox temporarily no longer responding to keyboard input.
I have two machines, both running Windows 7. On my laptop, I never have any issues but on my desktop, I find that Firefox sometimes blocks keyboard input. It will allow me to enter one character in any text field, and no more. Any further input is ignored. This applies to the address bar, the search box and any text fields in the displayed web page, in any tab. All keyboard navigation seems to also be ignored.
I've tried Reset Firefox and Safe Mode, they don't appear to change anything. I've also tried uninstalling Synergy and changing from my regular English-International keyboard layout to US English, but this still seems to occur. I am also running Workrave which can interrupt keyboard input, but since I can add 1 character, I suspect that Workrave is not the problem.
Sometimes it can seemingly be unblocked by pressing Start+F9, CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, restarting firefox or opening a new tab, but this seems to only be a temporary solution, the problem soon reoccurs. This bug has been present for some time, I first noticed it in v28 (although it may be even older), I am currently using v31.
One thing I've noticed is that it never occurs until after my screen has been locked at least once.
The trouble-shooting information attached will not be entirely accurate because I'm using my laptop to type this - Firefox is not accepting keyboard input right now on my desktop! However, the two environments are similar.
Thanks, Tadhg

Some have reported that pressing F9 and the Windows key simultaneously one or more times has worked to fix issues with the keyboard not working.

Keyboard shortcut for fullscreen

I'm in Safari 5.0.1. I watch the MLB.TV Media Player. When in Fullscreen mode, I can hit the esc key to make the window small. To expand the window to fullscreen I click on the window's Fullscreen icon. Is there a keyboard shortcut for that?

Try restarting your Mac.
BTW, re Safari AdBlock. That only works if you open Safari in 32-bit mode which may be why Glims isn't showing up.
GlimmerBlocker is a much better way to block pop ups and compatible with Snow Leopard - Safari 5.0.1 and no need to run Safari in 32-bit mode available here.
http://glimmerblocker.org/
GlimmerBlocker can be accessed through System Preferences.

Safari 7.1 blocks all keyboard input in Flash app

Safari 7.1 on OSX 10.9.5 blocks any and all keyboard input for FlashPlayer applications!! Everything worked fine until the upgrade to Safari 7.1 and OSX 10.9.5. Tried FlashPlayer 14 and the latest 15 -- still no keyboard input, not even in debug mode (I'm a developer of enterprise apps for browsers).
The same app still works just fine in Firefox and Google Chrome! Is this just a mishap on Apple's side? Or just another hit to kill off the most productive computer language I've ever used (and I used Apple's own Objective-C as well)??
Come on Apple! I love you guys and use your products a lot, but is this really necessary for the most powerful and valuable company in the world -- to hurt a language with such tricks that doesn't do you any harm at all?? This makes you look more like the "PC guy" from your own former commercials (instead of the lovable "Mac guy") ...

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.

Slow response to keyboard input. Mountain Lion.

My iMac has a slow response to keyboard input. Please advise.

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for response problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
