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.

Regards

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

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

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

Would you mind sending the files - even if you has to fill them with dummy data - so I can investigate?

You can send them to joaocesar.design@gmail.com or PM me.
