Background image doesn't fill window in fullscreen mode

[smallB]

Guys I have an image which is bigger than stage, but when I play this movie in player the background image is cropped on each of sides, that is on left and right there is a gray margin around 2cm wide.

Any ideas how to fix this so the background image covers entire stage?

Thank you.

2cm?  do you mean 2px?

in any case, attach a screenshot showing the problem, http://forums.adobe.com/message/4209263#4209263

Hi, Thanks for your reply, here is the image, and I've marked the margins with read line.

Thank you.

click file>publish settings>html and make sure the size combobox says 'match movie'

Hi, unfortunately I do not use html wrapper. I only use .swf.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

you can't control the swf position or sizing without an embedding file.

What do you mean? I have publish setting set to swf, and that is the only format I need to publish it in. Even though I've checked html checkbox and as you've said I've selected match size, it still looks the same.

What is the problem, in your opinion?

i mean you can't change the way your swf is displayed unless you change the stage and/or the display list objects.

if you want to change the stage to show all of your background, click modify>document settings>select 'match contents' for stage size.

Hi, I think I got that. If I play just the swf it fills the stage.

Thanks for your help and time.

I have the same issue, but none of the solutions listed work for me. I also just got this program, which might be why I'm having trouble understanding. sorry for being late

is this an as3 app?

what are your publish settings?

[Andrew3276871229dc]

I don't know what as3 means, sorry

[Andrew3276871229dc]

how do i find out?

[kglad]

in your publish settings, click html.  

don't attach screenshots, copy and paste them into your posts.

[Andrew3276871229dc]

like this?

[kglad]

yes, perfect.

so, you've used the code i suggested to go fullscreen, correct?

if yes, and you've tested by opening the swf that you publish, correct?

[Andrew3276871229dc]

yes, sorry for responding late

[kglad]

and does your swf open fullscreen?

[Andrew3276871229dc]

i think so

[Andrew3276871229dc]

or if I hit f11 then it will go in fullscreen. It has less grey area but it still exists.

[kglad]

what you see at the borders (the gray) depends on your swf publish settings 

[Andrew3276871229dc]

wait, so what do i change the swf publish settings to then?

[Andrew3276871229dc]

when i change the size settings in document, it only fixes the right side. 

[kglad]

my error.  (i was on my iphone last night and didn't see some details.)

anyway, when using the code i suggested you should see your monitor covered with your image and gray bars at top and bottom assuming the aspect ratio of your image is greater than the aspect ratio of your monitor.  ie, no task bar at the bottom will be visible and no window controls will be visible at the bottom.

use the escape key to resize the image and access your computer controls.
