How to set a background image to fill the entire screen on any device in a spark mobile application

Hi,
I started developing a mobile application with Flex.
I'm trying to set a background image to fill the whole screen. I've been stucked at this point for days now. I tried everything and no solution seems to work for me.
I'm using a TabbedViewNavigatorApplication and i need to set some background images on views.
I need my image to fill the entire screen on any device. i don't need to mantain image aspect ratio, just need it to be fullscreen. This seemed to work when setting a custom skin on the TabbedViewNavigatorApplication, however this blocked all my views for some reason and all components contained in view became invisible.
Can you please tell me how can i achieve this?
Kind regards,
Dan

Basically you need a larger image which can accommodate any device. The trick is to show only what each device can display, so therefore some clipping will occur based on device. Have something centered and towards margins have a gradient or just plane colors that way the stuff in the middle will be visible on every device while nobody will care if you are clipping from the color fill.

Video out to CRT yields entire screen image repeating

I have posted this problem before with no luck. I'm trying again in the hopes someone can offer a suggestion, or determine if my Powerbook needs servicing. The guy at the Apple Store didn't have much to offer.
The laptop's LCD display works fine. But when I extend my screen to a CRT with the video out on the card, I get my entire screen image repeating and fading off to the right. This makes for difficult text reading and detail work in programs dealing with lines and music fonts. And everyone who looks at my screen wonders if their eyes are going bad. I have tried both inputs on the display (a Mitsubishi DiamondPro 2070, 22" CRT) with no difference. I cannot capture the repetitions in a screen shot. I have tried many different resolutions and refresh rates, with no improvement. The current resolution 1280x1024, 100Hz.
My other computer comes through just fine in the same CRT.
Any ideas on this one? Should I have it sent in for repairs on the video card?
Is this issue called "ghosting"? I thought that was only an issue with LCD displays. Anyhow, I am using the DVI/VGA adapter that came with the powerbook and a Belkin VGA cable (can't recall the cost, but it wasn't cheap).
Thanks,
Jeff

I would definitely try another cable if you have access to one. Otherwise, it could well be your Mac's video output has a problem. Can you try the Mac with another CRT monitor somewhere? That might tell you if the problem lies inside the Mac.

When I make a mis-stroke screen images balloon up to fill the entire screen. how can I return them to normal?

I don't know what I do to make the image blow up. They don;t fill the entire screen, but fill up the normal-sized screen. This has happened on two sites. How can I get them back to normal.

Is this on Android or on the desktop? On Android, try double-tapping to zoom back out. On the desktop, to reset zoom, try Ctrl+0 (that's a zero).

Screen displaying negative image

My 3 year old was hitting buttons on my laptop, I walked over to remove him and my screen is a complete negative image of what is being displayed. I am sure it was just a combination of buttons hit but I have no idea how to revert it. Anyone??? Anyone???? Tried looking under system preferences but nothing... have no idea how to fix.

I did a little searching. for anyone else who encounters the problem hit Control, Option, Command, then 8. it will switch it back to normal.

After 3 small children were near my computer - it was turned on , the screen is now black and white like a negative image, when starting up the initial checks of firewall etc are displayed on the normal colour screen then as soon as the start up is over it goes to Black and white. I have been through the settings on the computer but can not find any changes that have occured - I suspect the 3 toddlers have pressed everything at once
Can anyone tell me how I can get the colour back?

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences
and turn off the White on Black option under Seeing,
as well as any other options which may have been
inadvertently turned on or changed, such as the
contrast.

TS4085 the image does not fill entire screen of iPad, therefore not the entire TV screen. Why?

When I try to mirror a video from my iPad to TV using Apple TV, the video does not fill entire screen of iPad nor the entire screen of my TV, Is there a way to strech the image to fit screen(s)?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There are two factors in play here. Firstly the iPad screen is 4:3, your TV is 16:9, so when mirroring the mirrored iPad screen is never going to fill the TV screen. If on top of that, whatever you are watching doesn't fill the iPad screen then that too will be reflected in what is seen in the mirrored image.
You cannot stretch this using the Apple TV or iPad controls, but your TV may have a setting you can use. Generally speaking though this will distort the image and you would likely be best leaving it alone.

Getting Images to display on entire screen

Hi, I need help with a problem that I'm sure there must be a easy solution to, but I've not been able to figure it out.
When I open a word document or Photoshop file, I'm used to having it open to cover the entire screen on my video monitor on my PC. On my powerbook, it only opens a portion of the size....even when I show it under the "FULL SCREEN" sizing button on view. Can someone tell me how I get documents to display on the full width of my monitor.
I know that there must be a simple setting or fix for this...but I'm struggling to find it. Thanks in advance.

There's no easy solution. It's been said that Apple wants the green button to fit the window to the contents, under the reasoning that on today's larger and wider screens, filling the screen with one document is a waste of space. But that rationalization is faulty, because some screens are still lower resolution where filling the screen would still make sense, and also because the green button is implemented extremely inconsistently, even in Apple's own apps. There are a few applications, like Apple Mail, where clicking the green button actually does fill the screen. But you can never predict which ones will do that.
Photoshop is easier because it has its own full screen mode on the toolbar, or press F.

Photos in InDesign PDFs appear as negative images

I work in CS3 (I'm on OS 10.4.11) and am having a problem when I export a layout with photos in it to a PDF file. The PDF looks fine on my computer and prints fine to my printer, but when I send it to others, the photos will sometimes (arrgh--not always!) appear on screen and print as negative images. The placed photos are usually TIF or JPG, but are sometimes Photoshop files.
Often I am sending these documents to users who will simply print them out on their own laser printers, so typically I export as "a high-quality print." However, I have had the same problem when I've exported as "press quality." The problem remains the same whether the user is printing to a PS printer or not.
Originally I thought it might be an issue with the Acrobat version on the recipient's end. However, I recently received a PDF from co-worker who has the exact same computer model, OS, and software versions as I do. When I opened her PDF, low and behold, I saw all the photos as negatives. (It did print fine, however.)
Any idea what's going on?

To export, I select File > Export > Adobe PDF.
Adobe PDF preset: High quality print (usually) or press quality (occasionally)
Standard: none
Compatibility: Acrobat 5.0 (PDF 1.4)
Options: Optimize for fast Web view
Create tagged PDF
Export visible & printable layers.
Most of my recipients have Adobe Acrobat Pro 7.0 for the PC; however, I had the same trouble opening an InDesign-created PDF from another Mac user with the same versions of everything as me, i.e. CS3, InDesign 5.0.2, and Acrobat Pro 8.1.2.

CC Image wipe starts with ghost/negative image from previous image

I have several images wiping onto a screen side by side, one after the other. However after the first image appears, the ghost of that image appears as I start each following wipe. This happens continually throughout all subsequent images.
Here's an image of the weirdness.
You can see that the third image on the right is displaying the ghost/negative image of the first image in the sequence. it apears initially then disappears and the wipe completes normally.
Maybe the church image is haunted... I don't know.
Help anyone?

This is the effects panel of the church image.
This is the next image to wipe on, and is also the next layer up on the timeline.
Thanks for the help!

Negative image

Somehow my son inadvertently set our iMac display to a 'negative' image by simply hitting keys on the keyboard, he never went into any control panel or adjusted any settings. I have no idea how to reverse this so we can see the normal 'positive' image again. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

I feel your son must have used a key combination that activates the "White on Black" Universal Access feature.
To restore the normal screen view, go to Preferences in the dock, select Universal Access, and click the Black on White radio button from the Display section of the Seeing tab.

I used to be able to use the reduce picture ( middle button ) using Firefox and dragging the image to another screen. How do I restore this as the reduce button will not work ?

The top right corner of the screen allows you to reduce the size of your entire image on Firefox . I used to be able to do this so I could drag the image to another screen . Suddenly I cannot do so anymore from my laptop. What can I do ?

Could you clarify where you are doing your search?
''For Firefox's "Search bar",'' which is the box on the right end of the main navigation toolbar with the icon indicating your currently selected search engine, there is a hidden setting for this:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sear''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.search.openintab''' preference to switch it from false to true.
If you test, does it work?
''For searches from other places,'' could you be more specific about where you are entering your query (e.g., address bar, built-in home page, on a search engine site)?

Nikon pictures don't fill entire screen

I have a nikon D3000 camera which i used pictures from for a home movie. When i play the movie on my new samsung un55d8000 the pictures from the nikon don't fill the entire screen. There is a few inches of black on both sides of the picture. Is this right? How can i make the pictures fill the entire screen?

Picture size is plenty big enough.
My thoughts are you are shooting the photos in the camera at 3:2 aspect ratio.
Is the camera switchable to shoot at 16:9?
Or you can resize the existing photos in the Timeline to fill the screen.
Double click a photo in the Timeline and it will open in the Viewer.
Place the playhead over the clip in the Timeline. You should have the same clip in the Viewer and Canvas.
Go to the View Pop Up Menu button at the top of the Viewer, click it and select Image + Wireframe.
Click the tab that says Motion and you will see a bunch of controls. These alter Scale, Crop, Centre etc.
Or you can click the video Tab and drag to suit.
This will work OK if strict framing is nor an issue.
Tip: If you set the % (button next to the View Pop Up) to less than the Viewer size you can see off screen stuff. Normally it would be set to Fit to Window.
