Detecting and changing the monitor resolution

[felipegm]

Hi,

I´m producing a flash projector with 1024x768 resolution.
Is there a way, maybe thru an autorun file, to detect the monitor actual resolution, and change it to the Cd resolution (1024x768)?

:confused: If so, is it save for the monitor?

i strongly hope there is NO way
Hmm whit a projector and some exe there is definetly one :(

no it's not save for the monitor (ok for most of it's save but not for all)
just consider this
i make a projector which will set the screen resolution to 2000X2000 (or what ever the max of your Graphiccard) AFTER 1-2 minute of inactivity (to by sure you aren't in front of the screen) this resolution will not by suported by your monitor (unless you have one for 5000Euro) after a few minutes you can trow it to the rubish

so even if you find a way i woud by care fully and WARNING the user abouth the change else way you will by responsibel for a possible damage in the monitor

i woud check the resolution and if it's not met your needs exit the program and ask the user to change it

You can change resolution with Flash, but only with predefined resolutions if you are using Flash MX projectors and later, with Flash 5 you can even do that dynamically - e.g. make a function changeRes(w,h,refresh) and dynamically change from within Flash)... Of course, you'll need an aditional program for doing such a thing that you'll call through fscommand exec function. I wrote such a program (well, set of programs for all kind of Flash extensions called xEngine.WDR) long time ago, but due to my hdd crash back than I don't have them anymore...

However, you can ask some of the people that downloaded it if they still have it... Thread where I've released it can be found @: http://www.were-here.com/forum/fb.asp?m=976978 ... You can try to contact VgSlag or whoever downloaded it while it was still available...

just put this action in the first frame of the movie;

fscommand("fullscreen", "true");

then it'll work full screen, not matter what the screen resolution is.

Actually it is possible using any third party tool like swfkit and i have done it.
Eg can be of games which change the screen resolution.

I have done that using Visual Basic and swfkit.
If you need more information and actually need it reply this thread.
