on/off button for fullscreen

[3747]

hello,

i want to make an on/off button for a flash programm, but i cant figure out how to create this.

(the point is, i DO NOT want:
fullscreen on/off, and that you have to click on to go fullscreen and off to go windowed...)

i want that if you click the whole line (fullscreen on/off) when your screen is full, that it goes windowed, and when its windowed, it goes fullscreen....




maybe a bit shitty description, but ill try to write it out:

first i make fullscreen on/off a button,

the code should be something like this (i think :P):

on (release) {
	if (fscommand("fullscreen") == false) {
	fscommand("fullscreen", true); }
else{ 
	fscommand("fullscreen", false);
}
}

when it is fullscreen it will go back to windowed, but it doesnt work to get it from windowed to fullscreen...
dont know how to fix, could anyone help? (sorry im just a starter )

Either of these should work to toggle fullscreen...

// Using FSCommand
stop();
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"; // optional
Stage.align = "TL"; // optional
//
var toggleScreen:Boolean = false;
yourMC_btn.onRelease = function():Void  {
    if (toggleScreen) {
        fscommand('fullscreen', false);
        toggleScreen = false;
    } else {
        fscommand('fullscreen', true);
        toggleScreen = true;
    }
};

// Or Flash Player 9 Fullscreen Feature
stop();
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"; // optional
Stage.align = "TL"; // optional
//
function toggleScreen():Void {
    if (Stage["displayState"] == "normal") {
        Stage["displayState"] = "fullScreen";
    } else {
        Stage["displayState"] = "normal";
    }
}
yourMC_btn.onRelease = function():Void  {
    toggleScreen();
};

}
yourMC_btn.onRelease = function():Void  {

};

What version of Flash do you have? The first code should work fine for you and does the same things as the SWF jorawar provided, except I added the scale as "optional"... but if you take that out it should do what jorawar's SWF does?

stop();
var toggleScreen:Boolean = false;
yourMC_btn.onRelease = function():Void  {
    if (toggleScreen) {
        fscommand('fullscreen', false);
        toggleScreen = false;
    } else {
        fscommand('fullscreen', true);
        toggleScreen = true;
    }
};

The second code I provided needs Flash 9, or Flash 8 with one line of code added to the Stage Class file that comes with Flash. I do not have CS3 either to open jorwar's FLA, however in looking at the outcome of the SWF, the code I provided does the same (atleast for me).

Sorry, tried to help.

* If your trying to test in the Flash IDE it will NOT work from within there, it will NOT work in a browser window either. You need to directly launch the SWF or projector file to see it in action. (atleast to the best of my knowledge)

Otherwise, I am really confused as to why its not working for you? For me the result looks identical to jorawar's example swf. Are you making a button, giving it an instance name of yourMC_btn , then placing the code I provided on an actions layer on the main timeline (not on the movieclip itself)? Should work fine, does for me.



Here is another simple code also...

on (release) {
  if (fullscreen = !fullscreen){
    fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
  }else{
    fscommand("fullscreen", "false");  
  }
}

*But any of the codes posted will work when used as described above (directly launching the SWF or projector).
