Question

Stand alone app from CS5 and Keyboard Input?

Hi,

I have in a previous project published a game as a standalone app and run it full screen. It would allow users to put their info in for high scores.

Now i am working on another game that will be published as a standalone app. It will need to be full screen and have an entry form at the end for high scores. It does not seem to allow the keyboard to enter text in an input box. Is this true?

Note, this is not an swf played through a browser, but an actual .exe generated from Flash CS5.

If this is true, is there a workaround. I need if full screen with keyboard input.

Thanks,

Steven

Solution:

In Flash CS5 save back to CS4, open in CS4 and publish as standalone app.

Kinda sucks, but it's the world we live in I guess…

Hmm, i had tried this early on in this project thinking that there might be security changes. I tried it on my mac and a full screen projecter that is a standalone app works as expected. Allows keyboard input to text fields.

On the PC, I guess not.
