I have a white screen when I insert “allowFullScreen”, “true”. The problem occur exactly if I insert this line. Any idea why, apparently, javascript don’t like this…

I use as well Cairngorm, locales, and external module but I don’t think it’s related ?

By the way I can run your example and I have the last player version.

Thanks
Simon

But did you noticed a funny thing? You can’t write directly into an input field in fullscreen mode, yes, but you can always <b>PASTE TEXT INTO IT</b> (right-click on the field, and then select “paste” from the popup menu) and thus completely bypass the clever and strong security “fullscreen feature”. No need for hacks, patches, or whatever. <b>Just copy a text from notepad and paste it into the “disabled” input field of your fullscreen Flex application</b>: oh my god, the disabled input field works again! Press your submit button, and go.

WOW!!! :-\

Dear Adobe developers, please, remove this silly limitation NOW, and try to deal with security issues in better ways. <b>Security through obscurity is nothing but a failure</b>, if you are a real software developer.

There are peoples here, who try to produce useful interactive applications with Flex (in my case, applications to be used for scientific research in oncology and molecular biology) and who really would like to take advantage from a fully working fullscreen feature…

And please, don’t suggest to switch to AIR, this is not a valid alternative if you’re developing an application to be distributed as a web service.

At the current conditions, fullscreen feature in Flex is nothing more than an oddity, good just for poorly interactive web sites…

If this problem can’t be solved, I think I’ll abandone the Flex platform very quickly :-(((

I’m not aware of any APIs that allow you to do that (but I’m certainly no AIR expert). Maybe try asking on a high-traffic list like FlexCoders and see if anybody has tried experimenting with AIR + full screen + dual monitors.

Sorry,
Peter

Is it possible for an AIR application to have two stages which go fullscreen on two monitors with different content? I would like a movie on full screen on my secondary display and controls on the other, both in fullscreen. This would really help me out, thanks!

And hopefully will never be. Consider a page that renders a full screen flex window showing a standard Windows log in screen. How many will think that something weird has happened to Windows once again and enter the login credentials into the malicious window?

Text input is currently not supported while a Flash/Flex application is in full screen mode in Flash Player.

Peter

any advice?

thank you,
