Projector H.264 Fullscreen No dice

I have a simple flash movie.
It has a static image(show screen), you click on the upper
right invisible button it goes to the next frame(video), an
FLVPlayback Component playing and H.264 mov file. If the movie
finishes it sends you to a final static image (park screen).
Works fine as a swf, when it goes out as a projector it just
shows a black screen for the video and it loses both the next and
prev invisible buttons in either upper corner for navigation. It
basically crashes the projector.
I have tried many different ways to set the fullscreen
properties and nothing seems to work any longer, see commented out
stuff in frame 1.
How can I make it play this simple movie fullscreen, from a
projector, with h.264 video?
My example file is located here:
http://www.bigpictureimaging.com/FullscreenProjectorwH264Help.zip
TIA

Simple question, where in the code are you loading the SWF
file
(SkinOverPlaySeekStop.swf) and calls the Video file ?
We don't see it ?

Flash Player 10.1 Projector issues with FullScreen

I am trying to make a flash player 10.1 projector file (both .app and .exe) and I am having some issues when I go fullscreen.
This was originally a web project, and everything works okay online (or even locally when I click on my .html file). However when I make an .app projector file, and play it, some (not all) of my buttons stop working on fullscreen mode).
I seem to be having problems with any buttons that have an alpha Tween (I am using TweenLite/TweenMax) applied to them on the MOUSE_OVER event.
Buttons with Blur tweens work in both fullscreen and normal screen mode.

I did get it working through a series of steps, I'll include it here if anyone has the same problem. I'm not sure why changing the file name works...but it did!
1. Made sure I had the latest version of the Flash Player/Projector.
2. Opened the .swf file in the Flash player.
3. Published as a projector file with a DIFFERENT NAME as my .swf file.

Cannot get full widescreen picture (16:9) via VGA

I'm trying to setup my LCD HDTV as an external monitor for my MacBook. The issue is that the TV is not displaying a full 16:9 image from the MacBook; it's only showing a 4:3 image, so there are large black bars on the side of the picture.
Setup
- TV: Samsung 40" LN-T4061F HDTV (full 1080p resolution)
- Connection: mini-DVI to VGA, VGA to TV
When I go to System Preferences > Displays, it finds the Samsung without an issue. It even defaults the resolution to 1920x1080, 60Hz. But for some reason (in both mirror and non-mirror mode) the display on the Samsung is 4:3 so I don't get the full widescreen capability.
I can certainly try something like SwitchRes X but I thought I'd check the forums first to see if anyone could provide some help. Thanks in advance.

hey there jsizz,
does your TV have over/under scan? you might be able to get "fullscreen" w/ a miniDVI to DVI +DVI or HDMI cable. the MacBook "officially" only supports up to a 23" display, but i've successfully connected to my 42" Sony LCD Projector HDTV & gotten fullscreen using a miniDVI + DVI>HDMI cable, which has over/under scan control.
good luck.

Prompt/poopup launching behind exe issue

Guys, i've got a standalone (running from CD) Flash projector
(exe) running fullscreen on a CD.
it has 3 buttons. Each when clicked targets - using getURL -
a *.bat file in a sub folder which in turn launches a .net based
*.exe
This whole system works fine.
The problem is that most - not all - of the time, when one of
the menu buttons are pressed, the popup asking you to 'open or
save' opens behind the *.exe not infront. How can i get around
this? it's causing chaos :-D
cheers, Rich
Win, MX 2004 Pro

Ps
the reason that i'm using a *.bat is that i need to reset the
local path
(i don't know what this is called, but basically the 2nd
level of *.exe files are .net apps which draw in swfs. The problem
is that if i don't launch the *.exe files using a *.bat file then
the local path for the 2nd level *.exe file is set all wrong (ends
up being the desktop somehow) where as if launched via a *.bat i
can simply reset it to the local folder where the *.exe if
contained using dos commands - long winded but i hope that explains
more why i'm using *.bat files)

Problem with Projector and Fullscreen

Hi,
Can anyone confirm a problem with fullscreen in the latest
player 9,0,115,0:
When I use getURL to launch a browser window, or make an exec
call with
fscommand, the standalone projector jumps out of fullscreen.
quote:
fscommand("fullscreen", true);
and
quote:
on(release){
getURL("
http://www.mylink.com",
"_blank");
I'm using CS3.
Any ideas?

I dont know really but i read here
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/first_as3_application.html
they the getURL() function was removed from CS3 and the new is
URLRequest(); Try with this one i get it from the upper link
import flash.net.*;
var url = "www.google.com";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
try {
navigateToURL(request);
catch (e:Error) {
// Handle error...
}

MAC projector won't go fullscreen

has anyone found an effective work around for the fullscreen
bug w/ MAC flash 8 projectors?
i'm using the fscommand("fullscreen", "true"); and it still
won't work - the title bar at the top remains.
i have read many threads on this topic and tried several of
the possible solutions and still nothing works. there are several
threads on this topic... is adobe working on this for a possible
future update?
i really don't want to have to backwards convert all my files
to professional 2004 just to do MAC projectors!!!
i have a single frame file w/ all the interactivity/animation
based on actionscripting. g5, flash 8
please advise
thanks
jason

i'm using 10.4.7, dual 2.5g, 3g ram - flash 8 professional
i just found a work around using a combo of threads. i got it
working on a new empty file and on my current working file.
make a 3 frame movie.
don't put anything in the first two frames except this
actionscripting:
in frame 1, put fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
in frame 2, put fscommand("fullscreen", "false");
in frame 3, put fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
and then continue on w/ the rest of your actionscripting in
this frame and on...
placing the three toggling fscommands all in the same frame
did not seem to provide enough time for flash to react.
i realize this is ugly w/ the flashing notfull/fullscreen. i
hate writing code and building files like this... but it does work.
the flashing doesn't really show up on a PC either, which is nice.

FLV in fullscreen Projector file forces background to black

I am producing a fullscreen projector (.exe) file and have some large videos that cause the background to go black when they come on the stage.
When I test the movie (not in fullscreen), it works just fine.
I've tried the solutions offered in these questions:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9165659/flash-projector-fullscreen-flv-always-has-black -background
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/324102/non-fullscreen-flvplayback
..still no luck

That's right -you mentioned the fullscreenTakeOver property and there seem to be many mentions of it in other forums as a fix, but I guess I needed a bit more handholding. I tried setting it to false using a few different methods. None worked.
This did -on the first frame after invoking fullscreen:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ADDED, onAdded);
function onAdded(e:Event)void {
if (e.target is FLPlayback) e.target.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
Thanks kglad for pointing me in the right direction.

Mac Projector, fullscreen but...

Hi
I'm making a CD-ROM to be compatible both Mac and PC.
Everything went well. Burnt the CD, one part Mac, the other PC. On
the PC, the Flash load as intended Full Screen, no border
whatsoever shown. But on Mac, the header of the window of the Flash
Player is showing. I don't see any option when publishing the
projectors to remove that. In the action track, I made the
Fullscreen command. It works on PC, but not on Mac.
So, any idea on how to remove that header? Thanks.

Well... it seems to be a bug / feature that apparently no one
ever came across. I saved the file as MX 2004 and created the
projector from the old MX2004 Flash application. The projector now
appears ok on Mac, that is without any window header.
...well, thanks to me I guess... ?

Flash SA Projector crashes when in fullscreen mode

I've created a Flash SA Projector, it's a slideshow of sorts. It is on a timer and changes "slides" every 12 secs. It runs great inf Fullscreen Mode and normal mode. It is self running and I've let it run by itself for several hours. However, it crashes a few different cases and I'd like to know if any one can tell me why. This is happening on a new Mac Mini (Mac OS 10.7.2) - using Flash Player 10.3.183.11
Case 1: It's running in fullscreen mode and the computer goes to sleep. I wake up the computer and see the error message: "Flash Player quit unexpectedly".
Case 2: It's running in fullscreen mode and I switch applications (using Alt-Tab) - Crash! Does it when I switch to Finder or Safari. However, if I pause my application (it's a self running "slideshow"), so the timer is not running and no animations are happening, when I switch to a different application, it simple pops out of fullscreen mode and doesn't crash.
Is this a problem/bug with Flash Player? Anyone know a solution to this issue?
Thanks

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

Fullscreen Mac Projector crashes when opening PDF

I'm working on a CD-ROM project that will have Mac and PC projectors. The projectors will open up various PDF files on the CD in an app like Adobe Reader (as opposed to a web browser).
Right now when I test the Mac projector, running in Flash's fullscreen mode, on machines using OS 10.6 and 10.7, the projector crashes intermittently when switching from flash to Acrobat / Reader to view the PDF file.
I'm publishing from a mac using CS5.5 and AS2. When I deactivate fullscreen mode in flash, no crashes occur.
The method for calling the PDF files is Applescript with sample code being:
tell application "Finder"
activate
open document file "argyle-console.pdf" of folder "fscommand" of disk "anees"
end tell
I'm curious if anyone else has run into this issue and if they've found a workaround. Thanks in advance.

Then you should probably post on the Microsoft Mac forums since it's their software you're having issues with:

Flvplayback + fullscreen projector

is there anyway to have a projector ALWAYS fullscreen, and use an flvplayback component with fullscreen button at the same time?
it seems that they're somehow incompatible. if i have multiple instances of an flvplayback component on different scenes, when the projector is fullscreen, jumping to a scene with an flvplayback on it, leads to having a black screen only!
please help me use the proper codes. thanx.

everything loads ok and fast. it's just that I COULD run my project
perfectly fine IF and only IF adobe included the feature/ability to have the menu bar of the flash player removed when creating a windows projector.
i've searched about other ways to make this happen. like 3rd party softwares such as ZINC. they make the project a little slow. and i'm not sure it's even gonna work with the bugs flash itself has!
i'm trying "autopay media studio" from indigorose. it runs the flash smooth and fast. and i can simply remove the menu bar! so my project would look bold and professional.
i thought i might be able to do the fullscreen thing without a problem, within the flash. but it turned out that flash let me down!
i mean even if I open my project fullscreen with no problem (which isn't actually true), i still have to deal with users pressing escape key when their viewing a video inside my fullscreen project. you know what happens? if a video inside the flvplayback is in fullscreen and at the same time your project is in fullscreen, when the user exits the flvplayback fullscreen with the Escape key, the whole project isn't fullscreen anymore!
i know you're probably thinkin why not use a code that detects the exit fullscreen and make the project fullscreen again, but as i said earlier, there's another problem and it's that when i try to have a fullscreen project, with 2 scenes and flvplaybacks on each of them, switching between scenes just makes flash load a blank page!

Kiosk, Mac Projector FullScreen

I've created a mac projector and it goes fullscreen but you
still see the application window. How can I make a mac projector
NOT show the application window and just go entirely fullscreen?
This doesn't happen with a windows exe file nor with .swf. The file
runs faster and smoother as a projector so finding a solution to
this would be ideal.
Thanks!

you might hate it, but if you notice, he/she says it does go
full screen already, so editing your orginal post to give the full
screen commands, really isn't helping much, since he/she already
gets it to go full screen, just that application window still
appears. So whether you hate third party 'hacks' as you like to
call it, or not, isn't really relevant here.

Window Order with Fullscreen Projector file

For Actionscript 2.0
I have a projector exe which is invoked full screen.
In the exe I have a button which invokes a URL using the
getURL command. This link gets invoked in the browser window in the
background and since the projector exe is playing fullscreen I dont
see the browser.
I am looking for a way to invoke this url so that it gets
invoked on top of this window(in front of this window in terms of
window order). see code below...
this.createEmptyMovieClip("loader_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
fscommand("fullscreen",true);
loader_mc.getURL("
http://www.macromedia.com",
"_blank");
The
is ticking

Yes this is possible by using third pary tools.
Read this and look at the example provided.

Windows projector quits fullscreen when opening pdf file

Hi, hopefully someone on here can help with a problem I'm having.
I'm working in CS5, using AS2 on a Mac.
I've built a presentation that requires the need to open pdf files in Acrobat Reader... as I have been building this on a Mac I simply used the geturl code which has been working a treat... today when I tested it on a PC it opened the file in a browser window!
I'm not really a coder and have to rely on finding bits online that I can tweak... after many hours I have fixed the pdf opening problem by using the fscommand method, but unfortunately when the pdf file is closed, my presentation (that was running fullscreen) has minimised itself to a window 100% to the original stage size!
Is there any fix for this?
Many thanks in advance.

I found a very simple solution here: http://www.northcode.com/blog.php/2008/03/16/Problem-with-Fullscreen-Flash-Projectors
