Launching full screen movie (not projector) from a standalone

Hi. I'm developing a standalone projector (for use on a DVD)
that will automatically start playing a progressive movie within a
smaller window in the projector. I want to give the viewer the
option of viewing the movie (not the projector) fullscreen. The
projector is currently 800 x 480 and the movie is 420 x 312. I've
managed to launch a new window from the projector when the viewer
clicks a button, but it's not finding the movie I've imported. I
thought it may have something to do with the second projector
(being launched from the FS Command folder) not being able to find
the movie in ANOTHER FSCommand folder, but I'm not sure. Does that
make sense? I'm not a seasoned pro at Actionscripting.
Any help is much appreciated.

No really !!
You need to be more clear.
If it's not a Projector then what is this EXE ?
Look at this example, it allows the user to select different
size screens at
runtime.

  • Projector doesn't launch full screen

    Hello Forum
    I am having a strange problem.  I have created a as3 projector file (flash player 10) which launches full screen.  And it does launch full screen on all computers here in our office.  We have sent out the files to the client last night and they have started installing them in their computers.  It works on all computers except one.  They say in that particular computer the application launches but for some reason not full screen.  They can manually switch it to full screen by clicking on Command F.
    I have a feeling they somehow must be launching an older version of the application by mistake, even though they are certain that they are clicking on the most recent one.  Is it possible to prevent full screen launch in a preference setting somewhere?
    Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi, although I can't be for sure with the information given. It sounds like you are running in Windowed mode. Look in your game options and see if there is an option to turn windowed mode off.
    Hope this helps

  • Full Screen movies do not work in Firefox

    Hi All,
    I am having a problem publishing Flash 8 movies full screen.
    They are fine in Internet Explorer. But Firefox crops the full
    screen so that you only see a portion of the full screen movie.
    I am using Firefox 2.0.0.4, as well as version 2.0.0.6 on my
    laptop. Can't get full screen to work in Firefox most of the time,
    but occasionally it seems to work. Is this a Firefox problem, or
    Captivate problem?
    An example, look at the full screen movie:

    Thanks, Suzan

    Mmm.. Interesting... because I am using Firefox 2.0.0.4. I am
    also using Firefox 2.0.0.6 on my laptop like you are, and it seems
    to work fine. I guess it don't understand the technical details of
    why full screen will not work on Firefox. What I find interesting
    is that some of my full screen movies do work fine on 2.0.04. I
    wonder if it the Flash Version in which the full screen is
    published? I will try some further testing.
    I am concerned because there are likely many users of earlier
    Firefox versions, and I need to produce a full screen which will
    work no matter which Firefox Version you use.
    Thanks!

    Is your problem that the browser window refuses to display at
    full screen or is the Flash movie itself not showing at it's proper
    size? Knowing that would at least help us know where to look.

  • Flash Player does not launch full screen upon Windows restart

    We have a Flash application file (flash.exe file) saved on the Desktop of our client's 46" touchscreen. We've created a shortcut to the application in the Windows Start/All Programs/Startup menu as we have 4 reboots scheduled during the day for this application. Upon reboot, the application does not launch full screen but if I cancel out of the application through the Task Manager and go to the Startup menu and double click the shortcut to the exe file, the application launches full screen. The size of the screen and application is 1920x1080.
    Other information:
    Windows XP SP3
    Flash Player 10
    (Please note I have fixed the Window System Error that you see in this screen shot)
    Thank you for your help!

    Do you have set it to Maximized ?

  • Problems launching Full Screen QT7 in Windows... help?

    I have been testing full screen video over the web using QT7. It works awsome in Mac, but I am dealing with odd bugs in widnows - so here goes.
    This page: http://www.24frets.com/testing/
    Works fine, but the controller that appears on full screen doesn't show the chapter tracks - I am guessing that this feature down't work in the Windows version? (The chapters appear in the QT player window, just not full screen. It works fine in both on a Mac.)
    Also, the second video clip after the "Rock n Roll TV" title, (roping dogies), often appears over a white background even though the background is set for #000000
    On this page: http://www.24frets.com/testing/index2.html
    The movie that is called when you click on the poster frame in the web browser is a QTL file that calls the previous full screen movie. (I did that to get quicktime to close when the movie is finished and return to the web page.)
    On my Mac, I occasionaly get a QT crash when I call it, then it works the next time - that may be an odd error - can't nail it down.
    On windows, it launches with the volume at zero. I had a volume="100" parameter in the QTL file but nothing helps.
    Are these known bugs in the Windows QT7?
    I noticed that on the first testing page, the sound played fine even though the controller shows the volume down, on the second page there was no sound but it came back up when you raised it with the floating controller.
    Thanks in advance - people are amazed at the full screen quality, and the data rates are around 720kbps - YEAH! Now if I can just debug the Windows version.
    Also the movie that plays full screen is a SMIL file for quicktime.

    Hmm, you may be onto something regarding the repair permissions thing. The authorization issue is happening when even putting together a movie that has more than one song from itms (and if you go to trim it, you end up in an endless loop between iMovie and iTunes— FUN!). There's a whole 'nother thread on it here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1079288&tstart=0
    I did report it as a bug however. One other person in that thread was able to duplicate the issue at an Apple store on one of their machines. One would assume they go through the steps you do before installing software (assume tht is).

  • What's with the "Full Screen" movie rentals?

    I"m as ****** as the next guy about the "No HD rentals" issue, but even more ****** off that most of the rentals I'm clicking on aren't just not available is HD, but aren't even available in "Widescreen". All Macs have a "widescreen" display now, and even your iPods, iPod Touch, and iPhone's are widescreen. No one wants to download a rental of a "Full Screen" movie anymore. My God, "300" in Full Screen - What are they thinking? If they want to offer "Full Screen" rentals, it should be an option, like when you go to the video store to buy a DVD, and are offered a "Full Screen" version or a "Widescreen" version. I don't think they even sell Full Screen TVs anymore. I have the same problem with PPV from the cable company... If it is not offered in Widescreen, I don't rent it. The same will be true here. I just never imagined Full Screen would ever even be offered, much less the only option.

    The iTunes store has pretty much everything in widescreen that it can, but as with most televisions and "home theater" setups... Widescreen really doesn't matter. I know that some people prefer widescreen, but I don't. I have a projector not a TV so I have a 20 foot screen and the black lines in most "widescreen" movies eats up 4-5 feet of space. The only movies that come formatted for a widescreen TV in the first place(I am talking about on DVDs) are the Anamorphic Widescreen DVDs. They have a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, but very few DVDs actually have this, most are in 1.85:1 aspect ratio or 16:9 which is actually a fullscreen movie with black lines at the top and bottom.
    As for HD rentals in the iTunes store, this is AppleTV only, and that is not Apple's fault, this is due to DRM. In order for you to play a copy-protected Blu-ray or HD DVD you have to have http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDCP compliant hardware, the apple TV is HDCP, but you computer is not, so therefore Warner Bros/FOX/Sony etc. Can not be guaranteed that you won't be able to pirate their content.
    Most people do not have a widescreen TV, and yes most Computer screen LCDs are capable of just about any resolution, but a lot of people are still in the non-HD zone.
    I agree that many people want HD content, however given how hollywood lost the battle to keep DVDs copy-protected, they have taken enormous steps to protect HD content.....

  • No sound when watching full-screen movies or TV shows in iTunes after update to 11.1

    After updating to iTunes 11.1, any full-screen movies or TV shows I try to play on my Thunderbolt display with my MacBook Pro have no audio. If I plug in speakers or headphones, I get audio, just not from the Thunderbolt display. Audio works fine from MBP.
    Weird thing is, if I plug in other speakers or headphones and then *unplug* them, the Thunderbolt display's speakers start working again. Every time you start a new show or movie, though, you have to do this again after the full-screen video opens on the display.
    Really weird. I obviously suspect i has something to do with the 11.1 update to iTunes 'cause audio works just fine through the display for iTunes music and other content and for the web and all other apps and games, whether they're in full-screen mode or not.
    Keep checking Software Update hoping to see that "1" badge pop up on the App Store, lol.
    Anyone else experienced this?

    Thanks allen222! I've been banging my head against this issue as well - glad to hear it's fixed in Mavericks - was planning to upgrade shortly.

  • Using Apple TV/Airplay for a full screen movie and opening new window on laptop

    When I have a full screen movie playing on my TV in AirPlay dual screen mode, and I open a new Safari window or my Mail, the window appears seemingly by default on top of the movie rather than coming up on my laptop monitor.  Is there a spot I can reset the default for new Safari windows and Mail windows to my laptop monitor, so they don't interrupt the movie on my TV?
    Background: my girls love Downton Abbey and Call the Midwife which I find terribly boring, and need to find something to do while the movies are playing rather than fall asleep! And you know what happens if Safari shows up over top of their beloved Downton! 

    it being mirror and many tv's being widescreen 16:9 and the screen of ios device not being widescreen this happen
    most tv's support having top and button chopped or streghed to fill the tv this is something one does with the tv's remote

  • Display full-screen controls NOT visible

    I exported my keynote presentation as a QuickTime full-screen movie. In Preferences, I have the controls checked to display full-screen controls and to never hide them. They do not show up anywhere. I also set the presentation as a slideshow to control the presentation using the arrow keys and they do not show up. In the Guide it states that as long as "Display full-screen controls" is selected in QT Player Preferences, you can make hidden controls appear by moving the pointer. They don't.
    Any help out there would be appreciated...I have a deadline to meet!

    Huh, I didn't realize you had to format a flash drive for a Mac, I'll check that out.
    O.K. I may have something that I said I was going to try...I unlocked the file, changed *_My* permission_, the Staff and Everyone else to "Read Only" privileges, then locked again. I then zipped it and sent it to my son this morning. He said he could open it, change it but it would not allow him to save it! I'm going to test it further somehow but I don't know anybody else that has a Mac w/Keynote '08. Do you have Keynote 08? Can I send it to you to test (it would be alot easier) or to someone in the Keynote discussion area?
    This message should now have a subject line..."Keynote presentation to CD to be accessed, but not changed?" When this all began, I searched discussions in Keynote on this and found nothing with a concrete answer, only that you cannot save a keynote presentation as password protected. I posted twice and no one answered. I think this part of our discussion will help Keynote people.
    *Back to your area of expertise and my original question!*... Can you still look to see what key commands force the HUD for me for my QuickTime Movie as Slideshow? I know they could not change that, but the arrow controls would have to be displayed. I don't know what HUD means but I'm going to search too... I found this link: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/Conceptual/QT7-2Update_Guide/NewFeaturesChangesEnhancements/chapter_2_section9.html
    Could you take a look and see if this is what I need? I do have Mac OS X v10.5.4 and QT v7.5 and my Preferences window does not have a recording tab but my Full screen window looks that same. When I view my A/V controls it also doesn't view as in figure 1-8. I'm confused again! QT 7.5 is the latest version, isn't it?

  • How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well?

    How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well, I keep deleting stuff from iTunes to try and free up some space only to find the file still in the library?

    It depends upon what preferences settings you use.  Most people use default settings so when you delete an item it asks you if you want to get rid of the file too.
    If iTunes absolutely refuses to get rid of the file (I have never heard of this by the way) you can always go to the media folder or wherever the file is located and drag it to the trash yourself.

  • Full Screen Does Not Come Back After Minimizing Firefox to the Taskbar.

    Full Screen Does Not Come Back After Minimizing Firefox to the Taskbar.
    I work in full screen almost exclusively ... the toolbar and the URL are still displayed while in full screen.
    Before this version (30.0), when I minimized Firefox to the taskbar so that I could go to the desktop or to Windows Explorer, when I finished what I was doing and re-selected Firefox it would go back to full screen. Now, it does not go back to full screen. I can still see the taskbar. I have to press [f11] two more times to get back to full screen.
    I have tried with and without addons enabled. Same behavior. I have reset Firefox ... same behavior.
    I'm using Firefox 30.0 and Windows 7 (64 bit).
    Thanks.

    Hi moose53,
    Just tested it with a Logitech keyboard and you are right, what you are describing is not expected behavior. I see you do not have any add ons, however does this also reproduce in Safe Mode? [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    If yes, try a new profile [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]

  • How/where or can I- store 75 HD movies (not purchased from itunes)and have them accessible from an ipad?

    How/where or can I- store 75+ HD movies (not purchased from itunes) and have them all accessible from an ipad?  Is their a cloud or other app. that would allow me to do this?  What my wife wants to do is to be able to open up an app. and have all of her movies listed and then be able to click on any of them and watch them on her ipad.  HELP!

    The easiest way to do this is to import the movies into iTunes and sync as many of them as will fit onto the iPad.
    If you want easy access to all of the movies without having to sync, you can find a file sharing website and upload all the movies there. Then, get a download managing app such as iDownloads, bookmark the links to all of the movies, and you can download them at will and delete them when you're done with them.
    If you're especially tech savvy and want a solution that is less laborious, you can setup an FTP server (such as the Filezilla server if you have Windows) on the computer where the HD movies are located, and give it access to the folder where the movies are. Then get an app that can download to FTP servers (GoodReader is one that I use) and download the movies at will via FTP. This solution requires less busywork, but is only feasible if you are especially technically savvy.

Basically your site was viewable in Design View but as soon a I hit Live view, it disappeared - much like IE9. See if removing the comment solves your issue.
