StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE failing

I'm having some issues with the fullscreen mode in AIR and hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction. Our application is a pure actionscript project that's published as an AIR file. When the app starts it should jump into full screen mode so I have a listener for added to stage and when I hear that I set the display state to FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE. If I start a totally fresh Air project this workflow works just fine but the problem that I'm seeing is that after a while of sharing the project amongst our team, eventually the full screen stuff just stops working. I'm working with another developer and we're on different systems (I'm on a Mac running Lion, he's on a PC running Win7). I'm wondering if something OS specific is getting in there and screwing things up..? Also we're using Stage3D and Away3D 4 so we're on Flex SDK 4.6 and (I believe) Air 3.0. I'd be happy to send along a zip of the project to anyone at Adobe. We just started last week so there's not much code at all and it's very easy to see the problem. Thanks!

I figured out the solution. In the application's xml file we had explicitly set width, height, x, y, minHeight and maxHeight. Commenting all of these out gave us fullscreen support again.

Mac OS X 10.7 issue StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE

There seems to be a problem with StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE on Mac OS X 10.7. When full screen is toggled the bounding box of the original window is left on top of your application. If you click on the app behind this bounding box goes away.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the sample project. After a bit more experimentation I have found it seems to be that I was loading a module at the same time as going to full screen interactive. If I wait till the module has loaded and then go full screen it works fine.
Thanks

AIR app crashes when using FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE on nativeWindow

App is running on desktop and packaged as Signed native installer with AIR 14
My app opens and closes native windows and adds externally loaded SWFs to them. I'm activating the windows with a FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE displayState. Without fail, after 5 or 10 windows opened and closed, the app crashes upon opening the next native window.
If I don't use FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE, the app never crashes, I've tested on Mac OS and Windows, same problem.
This code opens the window :
var options:NativeWindowInitOptions = new NativeWindowInitOptions();
options.transparent = false;
options.systemChrome = NativeWindowSystemChrome.STANDARD;
options.type = NativeWindowType.NORMAL;
options.resizable = false;
options.renderMode = NativeWindowRenderMode.DIRECT;
myWindow = new NativeWindow(options);
myWindow.title = "Title";
myWindow.width = 1024;
myWindow.height= 768;
myWindow.stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
myWindow.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
myWindow.stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
myWindow.activate();
// add content to window
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var AD:ApplicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain();
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext( false, AD );
context.allowLoadBytesCodeExecution = true;
// urlloader has loaded a local SWF file
loader.loadBytes( urlloader.data, context );
myWindow.stage.addChild(loader);

This is from a tester describing what happens on a Mac:
No the program does not launch properly on the Mac
What happens is this.
I open my applications folder
I open the App Folder and see another folder labeled Program V2.1
I open that folder and see the Program blue icon which click to launch
The folder disappears and the blue Program icon appears in my dock along side other applications looking ready for launching.
This is where the problem starts
If I click on the blue Program icon which is in my dock along side all of my other application icons they all drop off the screen. like the screen resolution changed suddenly or something,
The menu along the top of the screen also moves off the screen . in the same manner
so my desktop which usually has a visible dock at the bottom and a menu bar on the top now doesn't show either of those elements.
I do have a couple of document icons on my desktop , you know text files or what ever they never move
If I now click my mouse anywhere on the screen all of the icons return including the blue Program icon still sitting in by dock, if I click it again same sequence of actions.
I deleted and reinstalled the latest version of Adobe Air and got the same result
I also want to mention
The top menu on the mac tells me what application is active, you know "finder" "Open office" "Firefox" what ever is program is running and active shows there
Program has never show up as being active in the top menu so I'm guessing never fully launched

FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE not work under Ubuntu 8.1.0

I have an AIR application which sets to
FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE in the constructor when the application
launched.
It works fine in XP environment, but fails in Ubuntu 8.1.0.
My developing environment is Adobe Flash CS3.
The code snippet as follow:
public class main extends MovieClip {
public function main() {
stage.displayState =
StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
Please give me some suggestions. Thanks.

You're right, and we've seen a lot of issues similar to this using PlaneProjection. I'll file a bug on this.

Full_Screen_Interactive problem

Hi there,
I am creating an Air app that contains an HTML component that loads a web page that contains a flash graph. I am wanting to run the app in fullscreen, but when I enter fullscreen, the flash graph on the web page goes blank. The flash graph on the web page loads perfectly when the app is not in fullscreen, however.
Is this a known bug, or is it my problem?
Here is the code for the basics of the HTML part of the app:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" applicationComplete="load();" layout="absolute" xmlns:html="flash.html.*">
     <mx:Script>
          <![CDATA[
               public var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/");
               private function load():void{
                    html.htmlLoader.load(urlReq);
                    stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
          ]]>
     </mx:Script>
          <mx:HTML id="html" width="100%" height="100%"/>
</mx:WindowedApplication>

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the sample project. After a bit more experimentation I have found it seems to be that I was loading a module at the same time as going to full screen interactive. If I wait till the module has loaded and then go full screen it works fine.
Thanks

Custom cursor is too slow in FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE

My custom cursor is fast in window mode (even maximized) but not in fullscreen where it is really slow.
Is there a solution to this?

Dear Rob,
Thanks for your answer.
I have put together a simple test case (see attached zip file) and the custom cursor is still "too slow to be usable" in fullscreen mode. Run it and see that the cursor is fast in window mode. Then hit ctrl+enter to go into fullscreen and see how slow the cursor becomes.
Code:
package
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.ui.Mouse;
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Main extends MovieClip
private var _mousePointer:MousePointer;
public function Main()
super();
Mouse.hide();
_mousePointer = new MousePointer();
addChild(_mousePointer);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyboardDown);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMoved);
private function goFullscreen(fullscreen:Boolean)
if(fullscreen)
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
else
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
private function onMouseMoved(evt:MouseEvent)
_mousePointer.x = mouseX;
_mousePointer.y = mouseY;
evt.updateAfterEvent();
private function onKeyboardDown(evt:KeyboardEvent)
if(evt.controlKey && evt.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER)
goFullscreen(stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL);

Help! - AIR 2.0.2 FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE Lag

I've run into a critical issue with an AIR project I'm working on that requires the use of StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE.
A little background information on the project, it is an application designed for a touch screen kiosk, the target user will be children in pre-school or day care centers. The project started development on AIR 1.5; An issue with the print dialog box going behind the application when it lost focus required us to switch to AIR 2.0 which had the ability to bypass the print dialog box. Now we are discovering that the use of StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE is causing a considerable ammount of lag on any kind of MouseEvent or KeyboardEvent. We have tried to publish the application in 1.5 but when ran on a computer with AIR 2.0.2 installed it still has lag.
Setting the stage display state to normal makes the application work perfectly but because this is designed for children we need this to run in full screen. The application also works perfectly in FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE in the debug player when tested inside Flash.
The application is set to go into FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE when a MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN event is dispatched from the stage. Here is the code I'm using:
if(stage.displayState != StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE)
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott

I don't believe AIR has this capability yet, but you might want to look into third party utilities to get this done (such as KeyBlock). I'd also like to suggest that you add this request into our ideas database.

FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE

Hi,
I am trying to use fullscreen mode with an keydown event in extendet desktop environment. But using the interactive mode won't turn my application into fullscreen and FULL_SCREEN doesn't allow keydown listener.
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
any ideas?
TIA

Wow, I saved my project under a different name and now it works.

Full_screen_interactive performance

I noticed a big performance hit in my application, and
believe it was due to using
StageDisplayStage.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE
Here's the code that initialized the screen:
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
//stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
//stage.displayState =
StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE; // performs sloooow
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,
keyDownHandler);
stage.addEventListener( FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN,
resizeHandler );
var screen:Screen =
Screen.getScreensForRectangle(stage.nativeWindow.bounds)[0];
stage.nativeWindow.x = screen.bounds.left;
stage.nativeWindow.y = screen.bounds.top;
stage.nativeWindow.width = screen.bounds.width;
stage.nativeWindow.height = screen.bounds.height;
stage.stageHeight = stage.nativeWindow.height;
stage.stageWidth = stage.nativeWindow.width;
As you can see, no matter what displayStage I use, the screen
is always scaling to fit the monitors resolution. So either way i
am accomplishing full screen. If I use FULL_SCREEN, I loose
keyboard input, but gain performance. And if I use
FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE, I lose performance. If I just use normal,
I still have keyboard input and it performs much faster that
fs_interactive.
Note that the application runs in HD, 1920x1080, and loads
various high quality images and animations...so you can really
notice the difference.
Has anyone else noticed the performance difference? I've read
that applications take advantage of hardware acceleration with
full_screen. Is that not the case for full_screen_interactive? What
about normal mode?

Hmm...it seems that displayStage.NORMAL only performs well
from within Flash CS3. Once the application is installed, Normal
performs as slow as full_screen_interactive. full_screen performs
well in both environments.
They should both be using the Air 1.0 runtime though...I
would think.

Stretched text and image with FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE after Air player update

One of my Air applications uses StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE to switch to full screen during the presentation of some sheets.
Everything worked fine untill some users reported a streching of texts and images in the sheets.
It turns out that the problem occurs after an update from the Adobe Air Player to 3.1 from 2.7.
The first screen shots shows the text as it should be, the second screen shot shows the text after the update of the Air Player.
The code used to go into the Full Screen mode is:
    public function setFullScreenInteractive(fullScreenWidth:int = Constants.INT_SCREEN_WIDTH_SMALL, fullScreenHeight:int = Constants.INT_SCREEN_HEIGHT_SMALL):void
                         s.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle(          0, 0, fullScreenWidth, fullScreenHeight);
        s.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
with Constants.INT_SCREEN_WIDTH_SMALL = 800 and Constants.INT_SCREEN_HEIGHT_SMALL = 600.
I can reproduce the problem on a couple of computers with Windows Xp but it's not happening on all the computers I've tested.
Any idea how to fix this (without telling my users to Uninstall the current Air Player and reinstall the Air Player 2.7)?
Regards,
Bart

Mobile: fullscreen vs StageDisplayState

Can someone explain to me what the difference is between <fullscreen>true</fullscreen> and StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE, and how these should be used?
Testing on an Android Nexus 4 it seems to be that:
StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE hides the status bar at the top.
<fullscreen>true</fullscreen> hides the status bar at the top and initially reduces navigation buttons to dots, when they are touched they become full icons and stay that way.
Questions:
Is this the only notable fullscreen behavior on Android?
What is the behavior on iOS?
Is there any way to return to the initial state of <fullscreen> (with the navigation buttons reduced to dots) from AS3?
Thanks!
-Aaron

And let me add, I HATE the term Fullscreen.
Just one more way the TV/Film industry is convincing the uninformed public that Widescreen movies are wrong. The black bars are wrong. I don't want a widescreen TV, because then I won't be able to view fullscreen.
Almost as bad as the EDTV moniker on cheap sets.
I don't know. I have an HD 16:9 plasma. All my Widescreen DVDs fill the screen nicely. Is there something wrong?
Idiots.
Sorry, quick rant on stupid marketingspeak. If you want to move the public forward into buying an widescreen TV, don't call those DVDs Fullscreen. Call them Cropped, or Edited, or Altered.

Switch to fullscreen in a desktop app which is running windowed

I have a desktop application that runs with a transparent masked border, so since it's not a fullscreen application i have <fullScreen>false</fullScreen> in the app descriptor. BUT I'd like to be able to switch to fullscreen mode in some instances. I try to do so with:
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
But this doesn't seem to work. The app is still not fullscreen after issuing that line. I suppose it's because of the descriptor, but if I set <fullScreen>true</fullScreen> the app will start fullscreen, which I don't necessarily want (usually it's a windowed application with transparent chrome).
So is this possible?
Thanks!

I have a desktop app using <fullScreen>false</fullScreen> in the app descriptor and have no problems switching between fullscreen mode or windowed mode just by setting stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE; or stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
There may be something else at play causing the fullscreen mode to fail.

Hardware accelerated scaling on external display not smooth since 11.0

Hi,
When running 1280x800 app in fullscreen mode with hardware accelerated scaling (fullScreenSourceRect) from a laptop on the second screen (extented desktop etc) hardware scaling seems to fail to smooth the image on certain cases.
flash version
screen resolution
result
10.3
any
works
11.0 - 11.2
1280 x 1024 or 1280x800
works
11.0 - 11.2
any other

We're actually making an Air app, but it seems flash player has the problem and air 3.2 comes with flash 11.2.
Code for fullscreen:
stage.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle(0,0,1280,800);
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
Here's a list of display adapters we've confirmed the problem with, but it seems there's others too:
Intel GMA X3100
Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family
Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family
Anyone have any workarounds or other advice for this?

Video Troubleshooting Internal and External Monitors
You can also try booting into the Safe Mode to see if the problem is there also. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. 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. 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 unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Fullscreen bug in AIR 2.5

We built a flash application which was packed with AIR v1.0(current
version at that time), which by default opens in full screen mode
we had added a button within the application which uses the following
code to minimise the application
This code minimises the application till AIR runtime v2.03. Once the
runtime is upgraded to V2.5 the application stops to go fullscreen in
the below scenario
After upgradation if the user clicks minimise button, and then tries
to restore the application by clicking the application tab in the
taskbar, the application fails to go fullscreen
It remains as a borderless window with a partial portion of the
application displayed
Thereafter the user has to force quit the application and relaunch
This application series is our largest seller, and we are deeply
concerned of the Windows and Macintosh versions
We would really appreciate a quick response
Sanjay
Code
/* To minimize the window- on click the minimize method is called*/
windowChanger.minimise.
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,minimize);
private function minimize(event:MouseEvent):void
            myWindow.minimize();
            trace("minimize the window");
/* To maximize the window- onActiviate method is called*/
this.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, onActivate);
public function onActivate(evt:Event) {
            stageDetails();
public function stageDetails():void {
            stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
            stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
            stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;

For those following along, Sanjay and I have taken the discussion offline and he provided me with a couple of sample projects. I've been able to reproduce the issue on AIR 2.5 and it has now been entered as a bug in our internal database, #2751098.
I've also proposed a workaround that appears to work on both Mac and Win. Instead of
this.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, onActivate);
public function onActivate(evt:Event):void
     stageDetails();
I've suggested using
stage.nativeWindow.addEventListener(NativeWindowDisplayStateEvent.DISPLAY_STATE_CHANGE, onDisplayStateChange);
public function onDisplayStateChange(evt:NativeWindowDisplayStateEvent):void
     if (evt.afterDisplayState == NativeWindowDisplayState.NORMAL)
     stageDetails();
I hope this helps anyone else that might encounter this issue.
Thanks,
Chris

Mail does not scroll while in full screen!

When on full screen mail just ignores the fact that there's more stuff (text, pics...) in the email and does not scroll down. No bar on the side, no scrolling with arrows, touchpad or space bar is working. When I bring it back to a smaller size or just open the email in a sparate screen it works OK.
Not a huge issue, but an irritating one, wonder if this is happening to anyone else? and if anyone has a good fix to it?
Thanks

the release notes say it has issues in non-interactive mode,
I'm using doing :
stage.displayState =
StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
Is there maybe something else I need to set to full screen
interactive? I know I saw somewhere that the person was setting the
htmlLoader's stage to full screen interactive. I tried that but it
did nothing.
I have the window style set to "system chrome". I tried
transparent and no flash sites worked(full or normal screen) and
opaque worked the same as system chrome.
