fscommand

[pixel-me]

hey people:

when I use fscomman:

fscommand ("showmenu","false");

the exported SWF file extends from the upper and lower side a little???

any idea for this?!!.....

Thanks

are you sure that's because of fscommand? Does it go away if you remove it?

[pixel-me]

yes for sure...

do u have any idea

[jimburton]

Nope! If you're using percent or other calculated movie size try changing it for a pixel value, but beyond that I dunno - I can't seem to recreate it either. Anyone else seen this?

I know this is not a current thread, but I came across it in my search to address the borders added at the top and bottom of the projector after the showmenu=false command executes.
This seems to only be a problem when authoring in Flash MX. The same code authored in Flash 5 has no adverse effects.
(It doesn't matter whether the code is written as
fscommand("showmenu", "false");
or
Stage.showMenu = false;
I found no answers in this or the Flashkit forum for this problem specifically, but did find a solution here:

It's an admitted hack, but it works, and I was so relieved to find it I thought I ought to post back here for anyone in the same boat.
