"(Website) is now full screen press ESC to exit" notification appears every time the user moves the mouse to the top of the screen

Is there any way to suppress this message?  We have enabled fullscreen interactivity with keyboard support and get the appropriate nag, but then when the user moves the mouse to the top of the screen, the "(Website) is now full screen press ESC to exit" appears, and fades, then reappears whenever the mouse hits the top of the screen again.  Needless to say this is quite annoying.  Is there any way to supress this be it in actionscript or in the Flash control panel?

    Heh, I was looking for code formatting yesterday and couldn't find it either.  Thanks for the example.

    I'm able to reproduce this, but I walked it back to Flash Player 15 and was still able to reproduce this behavior.  It certainly doesn't seem right, but it doesn't seem like something we broke in the last couple weeks.  It's also consistent across all the browsers I've tried. I'm guessing that this is and outcome that has accreted as we added support for new browsers and things.

    I filed the following bug on your behalf.  Because it's been broken for a while, it's probably not something that we'll fix immediately, but it needs to be cleaned up for sure.

    we are now in April 2016 and this bug is not corrected.

    please do something since fullscreen is widely used by conference presenters

    and if the cursor touch the top everytime it blocks the whole functions showing the fullscreen message.

    thanks

    It's open and on the backlog, but as I said back several months ago, it's not a high priority issue (of which we seem to have an unlimited supply).  Given that there's only a single vote on the bug, it's hard to make a strong case for prioritizing the issue against the existing backlog.  Sorry.

    That's not the intended behavior and sounds annoying.

    Can you give me some details on the affected config, and maybe a link to an example that demonstrates the problem?

    Windows 7

    IE 9 and 10

    Chrome 43.0.2357.124

    FP 18.0.0.194

    I can't link you to the original, but I'll paste some source that causes it:

    AS:

    import flash.events.MouseEvent;

    btn.buttonMode = true;

    btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toggleFS);

    function toggleFS(e:MouseEvent):void{

      if(stage.displayState != StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE){

      stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;

      } else {

      stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;

      }

    }

    HTML:

    <!DOCTYPE html>

    <html>

      <head>

      <meta charset="UTF-8">

      <title>fsTest</title>

      <style type="text/css" media="screen">

      html, body { height:100%; background-color: #ffffff;}

      body { margin:0; padding:0; overflow:hidden; }

      #flashContent { width:100%; height:100%; }

      </style>

      </head>

      <body>

      <div id="flashContent">

      <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="fsTest.swf" width="550" height="400" id="fsTest" style="float: none; vertical-align:middle">

      <param name="movie" value="fsTest.swf" />

      <param name="quality" value="high" />

      <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />

      <param name="play" value="true" />

      <param name="loop" value="true" />

      <param name="wmode" value="window" />

      <param name="scale" value="showall" />

      <param name="menu" value="true" />

      <param name="devicefont" value="false" />

      <param name="salign" value="" />

      <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />

      <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />

                    <param name="allowFullScreenInteractive" value="true" />

      <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash">

      <img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" />

      </a>

      </object>

      </div>

      </body>

    </html>

    1- Open page,

    2- click 'btn',

    3- accept FS mode,

    4- move mouse to top of screen

    5- Popup appears, fades

    6- Repeat 4.

    [Edit]  Appologies, not sure what the bbcode 'code' equivalent is here?
