About this Component

If you put this component in a Silex page or in the preload files list, it will add a command to the interpreter which make it possible to switch to fullscreen mode and back to normal.

Use

Take an empty web site to test the component

• download the component archive and extract FullScreenComponent.cmp.swf to the “media/” folder of your Silex installation folder
• put the component on the stage in Silex, or add it to the preload files list in the manager (you will not be able to use the events of the components in this second case
• on a media, put the action “onRelease fullscreen:true”
• on a media, put the action “onRelease fullscreen:false”
• on a media, put the action “onRelease fullscreen:toggle”
• on the component itself, you can put these actions
  • onDisplayFullScreen alert:full screen mode !
  • onDisplayNormal alert:normal screen mode !
  • onDisplayToggle alert:screen mode has changed !

Then you can click on the medias and see the alert occures

Life cycle of the component

• load in a silex page
• adds the methods to the interpreter for toggle full screen/normal
• dispatch events

Notes

• It works only in sites published for FP 8+
• The command works only with the onRelease event
• To enable full-screen mode, the allowFullScreen parameter has been added in the object and embed tags in Silex index.php
• about the property “Stage.display”, it just work for the version de flash Player more than 9; so we use Stage[“display”] = “normal”; You can put the component in Sites for Flash Player 7, but it will work only if the user has FP8+
