Question

Flash full screen with dual screen moniter

Dear all,

I have an AIR application that will go full screen when the application starts:

stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;

The stage size is 2560 x 1024. And I have 2 moniters  (1280 x 1024 , 1280 x 1024)

When I start the application, it shows my application on one of my moniter only.

What is the problem?

I need the left side of the stage to be shown in moniter 1 and right side of the stage to be shown in moniter 2.

Currently, both sides are shown in moniter 1, and in moniter 2, it shows nothing but my default desktop.

*The blue color line is a divider for better visual purpose.

How do I make the left side of the stage to appear in moniter 1 and right side of the stage to appear in moniter 2 when the application starts in full screen mode?

Thanks for reading,

-Zainuu

I don't think a movie in fullscren mode can cover multiple screens - it only goes fullscreen in the main monitor. I suppose you can make a (wide) movie to cover the entire screens. You can use flash.display.Screen class to obtain the screen dimensions etc. (You also need to take care of hiding OS elements such as menu bar/task bar etc.)

Hi,

I have give the documentation a read, but I don't quite understand how it works. Is there any sample code out there for me to refer to? I need to see how it works.. Or are there any other work around for this?

As I said before you cannot make fullscreen across two monitors. What I am suggesting is to make a chromeless window of the size of two monitors and hide OS elements such as menu bar/task bar.
