Fscommand-Fullscreen does not work in Flash Player 9 (Flash CS3)

[viswhiz]

Dear all,

I have a problem with Flash Player 9. I have developed a flash application (projector) in Flash 8 and now I am trying to compile it with Flash 9. I have to do this because of Flash 8's bug with asfunction, which apparently is fixed in Flash 9 (CS3). I can compile it into Flash 9 projector, but when I do that, it will not run FSCOMMAND("FULLSCREEN", true); anymore. I wonder why this is as such.

When I read through some help resources, somewhere it says that FSCOMMAND is not supported in FP9 because of some security reasons and it says that I should use External Interface API instead.

Can anybody enlighten me about this issue? If I have to use External Interface whatever, can anybody help me with that? Please remember that I am working with flash projector (exe), not in a browser.

Thank you very much,

visWhiz ;)

A bit more detail.

What I mean is that I am still using AS 2.0, but in the publish settings, i choose Flash Player 9. With this setting, the asfunction bug of the Flash 8 disappears, BUT, I can't run FSCOMMAND("FULLSCREEN", "TRUE"); I can still run TRAPALLKEYS though.

When I publish with Flash Player 8, fullscreen works, but obviously the asfunction bug stays there...

Please help anyone,

Regards,

viswhiz

Strange, "fullscreen" is still listed as an option in the AS3 fscommand (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/system/package.html#fscommand()) docs. According to the fullscreen mode security doc (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/00000352.html#wp152029): "Full-screen mode is always permitted in the stand-alone player or in a projector file."

Since I've never used this feature before, I can't offer any insights beyond what the docs say. Sorry. :(

It explains why this is happening.

I posted this in the AS2 thread linked here as well since it applies to AS2 and AS3.
