Multiple JavaFX stages in fullscreen mode

I have an application that contains two stages which should be shown on two different screens both in fullscreen mode. I managed to position the two stages on seperate screens, and tried to set the fullscreen property to true on each Stage, but only of them is shown without decoration. It is always the one that has the fullscreen property set last that is shown in fullscreen mode.
Is it not possible in JavaFX 2.2 to have multiple stages in fullscreen mode at the same time?

Is it not possible in JavaFX 2.2 to have multiple stages in fullscreen mode at the same time?This I do not know. My app has also 2 stages, displayed fullscreen on both monitors. To achieve this, I retrieve the screen resolutions and then I set the size accordingly..what is the benefit of fullsceen-mode ?

In fullscreen mode, is there a way to prevent the page from shifting down when displaying the menu and tabs?

In fullscreen mode (F11), when moving the mouse toward the top of the screen to display the tabs & stuff, the page displayed is shifted down. This makes it annoying when returning down with the mouse - you want to reach a certain link, for example, but your target gets shifted up once the tabs & stuff is hidden back.
Is there any way to make the tabs & stuff display 'above' the page content, like on another layer?

Is it the web page display that is changing its own position, or is it something
about the toolbars that is pushing the page down? I have the same issue with
my browser using an add-on to show a multiple line bookmark bar.

Help about importing files and fullscreen mode

Hi,
sorry but i'm kinda new about this. I'm creating a kiosk for my company which uses a touchscreen PC like what you see in the malls right now i.e directory. Im using flash cs5 and AS3. My problem is when I imported video / swf file in my stage (which is in full screen when loaded in projector), the video / swf file automatically change to full screen also. What I like to do is even if my window is in full screen mode, the video will still be the same what I set it to be. For you to imagine what im doing is in my homepage, my buttons would be video/swf files placed side by side. Once I click on one video it will go to another scene just like a website. I tried to google about this but no luck, all i find is how to import. These are the codes i used to load my project in fullscreen mode automatically.
var main:Stage = this.stage;
main.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
main.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
main.align = StageAlign.TOP;
main.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
Hope you can help me on this. Thanks in advance for those who will help.
Thank you
-Arjae

thanks andrei. but it still doesn't solve my problem.
var main:Stage = this.stage;
main.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
//main.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
main.align = StageAlign.TOP;
main.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
as u have said, i remove scale_fit line but still in full screen. when I run s swf file the video automatically converted to full screen. what i only want to make full screen is the stage where the video is located. is there some command i need to do on this? I tried to use this using AS2 and its ok, the video didn't go full screen even the stage itself is in fullscreen. but i really want to use AS3 because of some features. If you can help, it will be great. Thanks lot!

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?

Bug's found in fullscreen mode.

Hello i have discovered a bug in flash or in iexplorer the
fullscreen mode.
Problem 1: onMouseUp event fails in fullscreen mode (when
published in html mode).
First of all, when i placed a button on the stage to go
fullscreen the onMouseUp event will not be triggered.
I only listens to the onMouseDown event. Fortuneately the
event of the button (onRelease) will be triggered so i have found a
work around for this. This effect happens when published to an html
only. In firfox and IExplorer.
Problem 2: When using a custom mouse in fullscreen mode, the
mouse will go very slow or shocking..
The second bug has to do with some rendering i think. The
strange thing is when you run the swf localy and you are in
fullscreen mode the mouse will move smooth. But when i publisch it
to html mode and upload this html and look it online, the custom
mouse will move very slow and not smooth. In firefox it moves a lot
better..
Has anyone experienced this problem too and find a work
around?
To expierence this problem look at my website :
flash website with
custom mouse
I hope someone has a solution.. (i also removed the effects
like blur and motion on the custom mouse ..but still the mouse will
moves not smooth).
Regards.

I can see the menu if I select the screen mode "Full Screen with Menu Bar"
Additionally, why don't you just hit Cmd + Tab (mac) or Alt + Tab (Win) to switch between applications quickly?

bg.height = $stage.fullScreenHeight;
$playerInstance.addChild(controlBar2);
LayoutMetadata($playerInstance.media.getMetadata(LayoutMetadata.LAYOUT_NAMESPACE)).scaleMo de= ScaleMode.ZOOM;
var resultRect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, $stage.fullScreenWidth, $stage.fullScreenHeight);
stage.fullScreenSourceRect = resultRect;
this.stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
else
$playerInstance.width = 600;
$playerInstance.height = 400;
$playerInstance.mediaContainer.width = 600;
$playerInstance.mediaContainer.height = 400;
LayoutMetadata($playerInstance.media.getMetadata(LayoutMetadata.LAYOUT_NAMESPACE)).scaleMo de= ScaleMode.LETTERBOX;
bg.height = 400;
// set normal display
stage.fullScreenSourceRect = null;
this.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
this.stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;

How was this done? Fullscreen mode?

How did they do the fullscreen mode?
http://www.sasokos.com
Thanks a lot!

type 'fullscreen' into flash help search and click on the
first item under Programming ActionScript 3.0, 'Setting Stage
Properties' and look at 'Working with full-screen mode'.
Or have a look at adobe articles, for example,
here.

Fullscreen mode broken on OS X

If you try the following code in AIR for OS X and Windows you find that Windows correctly DOES NOT fire the ACTIVATE event when fullscreen is executed but OS X does:
window.nativeWindow.visible = true;
window.nativeWindow.stage.displayState = runtime.flash.display.StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
window.nativeWindow.addEventListener(air.Event.ACTIVATE, function() {
air.trace('ACTIVATE');
window.nativeWindow.addEventListener(air.Event.DEACTIVATE, function() {
air.trace('DEACTIVATE');
I've filed a bug for it in bugbase... but not sure how long Adobe take to fix bugs in AIR... and this is preventing my app from working as expected.
The reason is because I need to fire the fullscreen mode on activation of the window (fired after a user has deactivated the window) so it forces fullscreen mode for the app.
window.nativeWindow.addEventListener(air.Event.DEACTIVATE, function() {
air.trace('DEACTIVATE');
window.nativeWindow.minimize(); // this hides the window
window.nativeWindow.addEventListener(air.Event.ACTIVATE, function() {
air.trace('ACTIVATE');
window.nativeWindow.stage.displayState = runtime.flash.display.StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE; // reshows the window and makes it fullscreen
This works perfectly on Windows. But because OS X fires the event on fullscreen, it calls fullscreen again... and occasionally creates duplicate windows (which is another bug that only happens on OS X if fullscreen is called more than once and doesn't happen on Windows - again filed on bugbase).
Any ideas on how I can get around this in the mean time, until Adobe fixes the bugs?

Any updates? The bugs haven't had any progress on them over at bugbase either. Thanks.

MenuButton (or ChoiceBox) in fullscreen mode

Hello,
I am trying to use a MenuButton while my stage is in fullscreen mode. Unfortunately the layouting of the MenuItems after clicking the MenuButton is not correct.
Is there a solution for this problem or is it a bug ?
thanks!!

I'm not sure what the current road map is (does anyone actually know when the next release is due out?) but at a guess I'd say it won't be in the next two weeks.
I'm a few beers into Friday, so just a quick starter for you here. See how you go with this extremely rough code as a starting point, and maybe come back with the areas that you are having trouble sorting out. I couldn't find any Node.getLocationOnScreen, or the like, and Popup.show seems to work off screen coordinates (despite taking a Node as parameter) - I'd need to take a deeper look into the API, but maybe someone else will chime in with that piece of the puzzle?

-Xtoolkit prism and fullScreen mode

When I run my program with -Xtoolkit prism vm argument I can't run in fullScreen mode, the program just ignores the fullScreen: true in my stage. Is this a bug?

Reminder: the Prism toolkit is experimental on the desktop, and should be used only for experimentations. So, yet, expects bugs, limitations, unfinished things, etc.

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.

Cannot have multiple flvplayback instances using fullscreen

Hello,
I am using AS3 with CS5. I created a flash project which contains multiple instances of flvplayback. Each plvplayback plays a separate video and each has its own controls. It all works fine when playing, pausing and controlling the videos. The problem is with the fullscreen functions. If I click the fullscreen button on the first flvplayback, it makes the second video go full screen. If I click the second video fullscreen button, it opens fine into its own video except when I do it three to four times. After three to four times of toggling fullscreen on the second video, it opens the first video into the browser larger than its original size but not full screen. I have tried recreating the flvplayback instances by re-importing the video files. Each flvplayback has been given its own instance name. Even when I create a separate custom button, not part of flvplayback, and give it the command to launch fullscreen on the first video, it still opens the second video to fullscreen. When I use just one video and remove the other ones, toggling fullscreen works fine for that particular video.
I don't understand what it is going on. This is a very strange problem. Maybe I'm missing something basic so if someone can please help me on this I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Kris

Using fullScreenTakeOver=false prevents only the case that flvplayback become fullscreen by stage.displayState='fullScreen' .
I'm also seeking for a solution for this bug, unfortunately no luck so far.

Select part for fullscreen mode?

I'd like to define the rectangle part of my flex3 app that i
want to see in fullscreen mode, without having to arrange all my
layout with states transitions or resizing or visible=true/false
etc... Is that possible? Any idea?
(I'm in a papervision3D scene with videos and want to see the
full default video only in fullscreen).
Phil

It is a classic to find your anser just after posting...
stage.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle(0,0,320,240);
