Auto-Full screen

[Zombie]

Is there a way to make flash fullscreen automatically? someone goes to the website, and instantly becomes fullscreen? is there any way to do this in any version of actionscript, or does anyone have any idea how to do this with anything else??

all I need is one image to be fullscreened basically to start with, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know, thanks!

thanks

Hi

do you mean the swf at 100% like explained here or the type of windows with no 'bar' around it. I can't remember the right word for it, chromeless type windows done in javascript.

Yeah I want it fullscreened automatically without any bar, I don't want it to appear like its just containted within the browser

okay I found a tutorial on how to make a 100% fullscreen flash movie in browser, however, I dont know how to initiate fullscreen automatically without pressing a button, here is the code..

function toggleFullScreen(event:MouseEvent):void
{
	//trace("displayState="+this.stage.displayState);
	if (this.stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN)
		this.stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
	else
		this.stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;	
	//this.parent.textField.text=this.stage.displayState;
}

function onFullScreen(fullScreenEvent:FullScreenEvent):void
{
	var bFullScreen=fullScreenEvent.fullScreen;
	if (bFullScreen)
	{
		// do something  here when the display changes		
	}
	else
	{
		// bla.. bla..
	}
	// here I am just printing the display state into a text field
	this.textField.text=this.stage.displayState;		
}

toggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toggleFullScreen);
toggleButton.stage.addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN, onFullScreen);

Hi,

I was reading this article (http://blog.augitaly.com/2007/07/full_screen_in_flash_cs_3_e_ac.html - sorry but it is in italian).

Anyway, it is the same code that you posted and the one who wrote the article answered to a guy with the same request as you that it can only be associated to a button as specified in the guide Flex/flash cs3.

In javascript there is the window.open with the parameter fullscreen which can be used when the initial page is loaded...never used it so I don't know if it can be of any help.

Yes I did read that thing about some security implementation in flash in which it requires the user to press a button to initiate full screen

I thought I had found a loophole, as I made it launch automatically locally, but when its uploaded it will not launch fullscreen automatically :(

thats really too bad, I wanted to play some tricks on people

you know, a fake little "virus install" animation, and automatically fullscreen initiates with the "blue screen of death" image
