RE: [flasher] fullscreen w/o changing stage size

The simplest answer is - you can't.  (I'm assuming that you mean for

this to play within a browser.)


<lecture>

If you want your movie to be full screen, you must know what screen res

the viewer is using.  You can offer a viewing recommendation (best

viewed as 800x600, etc.) but this cannot be enforced.

(Possible work around would be to create a Director projector to launch

the flash anim.  The director projector can be set to a specific screen

resolution, and can set the viewers monitor to the right screen res

using buddy api).  This approach will not work for use with a browser!


The only solution you've got is to set the HTML properties to exact fit

(publish settings -> HTML tab -> scale = exact fit).  If you also make

your Flash alignment = (Horiz) Center / (Vert) Center, then the movie

will always be in the center of the screen.


If you use the scale = Default(show all) the movie will play at the best

fit for the browser window area.  But this can be any size.


Lastly, if you want the movie to play at the best resolution, try having

the movie play out of a popup window with no toolbars and set to the

exact size of your movie.

Subject: [flasher] fullscreen w/o changing stage size



How can I keep a full screen movie but keep my stage size the same as in

the

movie. I use the FS Command for full screen because I want the movie to

cover the monitor screen but I don't want the movie stage to go so large

and

I do not want the flash menu. I tried allowscale and set it to false but

with no success.

What do I do to set the size? I tried an expression with FS Command

(Fscommand 800_width, 600_height) but it didn't work either.

Can anyone give me some help?
