Dear Friends
I need help for an outsourced project,
I have an application that runs on a PC and tis connected to a videowall,
what the developer has to do in order to have the operator console shown on the operator pc while the extension (HDMI connection) shows only the end results without the operator selections
the developer does not know how to do the screen extension , Any hints?
Thanks for the info.
What I can suggest to you is to use two native windows in your application and then run some if conditions to not show these controls in the second screen.
In this thread I show how to create a second window using the NativeWindow class.
Adobe AIR desktop native windows drag and drop
Here is the official docs for the NativeWindow class.
NativeWindow - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference
This class is only available for the Adobe/Herman AIR though.
I hope this helps.

Hi.
Does your AS3 application have two windows?
If so, select Extend these displays and drag the screen with the end results to the video wall.
I hópe this helps.

JC,
My developer is in China who develops this application,
Basically there is a screen with a task bar that the operator makes some selections on variable data ,
Once these selections are made and the operator pushes play then the end result is shown to a video wall that is connected to the laptop,
Since the video wall is in a public space , the spectators should see only the end results and not the screen of the operator,
So its exaclty the functionality of a second screen in windows (Extended monitor)
My developers needs some tips how he should hide the whole oprators console form the final output (the second screen)
Can you be a bit more specific so I give him the tips

Do you have some pictures of both screens so I can understand better what you need to do?

I will send you
But imagine a control board where the operator selects 3 images and 1title
and on the second screen the script shows the 3 images being raised.
What you will see here is the end result the 2nd screen but the operatos
has somewhere to select these flags this is the operator console. This is
why we need 2extension.

Hi again.
Sorry for the late response.
Is the animation that is flashing a video or a Movie Clip instance?
If it is a video, what are you doing to play it in loop?
If it is a Movie Clip instance, what about telling the Movie Clip to go back to the beginning in the penultimate frame instead of allowing it to reach the last frame?
Please let me know.
Regards,
JC

Not the animation but the background.
There ia a loop background on that back and once its reaching end of look
It flickers.
Programmer has no idea how to. Fix.. Told me its adobe bug but this makes
whole presentatio useless

You run fist publish 1 amd then publish 2.
No meed a 2screen but y must have all 2windows open.
Do you see a bluebackground that is supposed to be stored in the background
folder.
In the tirles in
the titles and in the anthems folder the anthems.
You check the winning countries.
Then you cam select a title from the drop down menu.
Then show data. Send data and play. You will hear athhem playing and flaga
hoisting.
If you have windows 10 new
Open the windows 10directory and these 2files replace the ones on the root

OK.
I managed to display the title at the bottom, the flagpoles, and flags. One of the anthem also played.
But the background animations didn't show up.

Go im the backgound folder make sure you have a file background.flv
If you have a different name there you have to rename
The flicker probleen is with the background file loop
Copy link to clipboard
Copied
Rename the abcdbackground.flv to background flv exit and restart apps

Λlet me know when you have an idea how to fix flicker effect
