Re: FLASH: [repost] - Toggle fullscreen in projector?

[Gregg Caines]

There's no need for telltarget, but you do need to use ==

instead of = to test equivalence.  Like java, javascript, c, &

c++ the = operator sets equivalence while the == operator

tests it.  Also, 'blownup' need not be a string either, it can be

a real boolean true or false, so there's no need for quotes

around the value.  I'm surprised fullscreen is not testable

directly, but I know this was true for Flash 4, so I'll take your

word for it in Flash 5.


on (release) {

    if (blownup == true) {

        fscommand ("fullscreen", "false");

        blownup = false;

    } else {

        fscommand ("fullscreen", "true");

        blownup = true;

    }

}
