AIR supports a full-screen mode,
in which content running in AIR can fill the entire screen. To enter
full-screen mode, the
displayState
property of
the Stage is set to the
StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN
constant.
To enable full-screen mode, in the
<object>
and
<embed>
tags
in the HTML page that contains a reference to the SWF file, add
the
allowFullScreen
parameter, with its value set
to
"true"
(the default value is
"false"
),
as shown in the following example:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,18,0"
width="600" height="400" id="test" align="middle">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="movie" value="test.swf" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#333333" />
<embed src="test.swf" allowFullScreen="true" bgcolor="#333333"
width="600" height="400"
name="test" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
An HTML page may also use a script to generate SWF-embedding
tags. You must alter the script so that it inserts the proper
allowFullScreen
settings.
HTML pages generated by Flash Professional and Flash Builder use
the
AC_FL_RunContent()
function to embed references
to SWF files, and you need to add the
allowFullScreen
parameter
settings, as in the following:
AC_FL_RunContent( ... "allowFullScreen", "true", ...)
The ActionScript that initiates full-screen mode can be called
only in response to a mouse event or keyboard event. If it is called
in other situations, Flash Player throws an exception.
A message appears when the content enters full-screen mode, instructing
the user how to exit and return to normal mode. The message appears
for a few seconds and then fades out.
For content that
is running in a browser, keyboard usage is restricted in full-screen
mode. In Flash Player 9, only keyboard shortcuts that return the
application to normal mode, such as pressing the Escape key, are supported.
Users can’t enter text in text fields or navigate around the screen.
In Flash Player 10 and later, certain non-printing keys (specifically
the arrow keys, space, and Tab key) are supported. However, text
input is still prohibited.
Full-screen mode
is always permitted in the stand-alone player or in a projector
file. Also, keyboard usage (including text input) is fully supported
in those environments.
Calling the
displayState
property of a Stage
object throws an exception for any caller that is not in the same
security sandbox as the Stage owner (the main SWF file). For more
information, see Stage
security.
Administrators can disable full-screen mode for SWF files running
in browsers by setting
FullScreenDisable = 1
in
the mms.cfg file. For details, see
Administrator controls
.
In a browser, a SWF file must be contained in an HTML page to
allow full-screen mode.
