Full screen video doesn't work



Full screen video doesn't work root-88

flash (macromedia): [b]The situation[/b]
I have a flash presentation that I am keeping on my hard drive and showing in
a meeting with a projector.
I need to run the presentation in full screen mode because I don't want the
audience to see the menu bars for the flash player.
The presentation has a lot of 15-40 second video clips in it.
Note: The videos play with other flash movie clips on the screen. The videos
themselves are not full screen, just the flash animation.

[b]The problem [/b]
Streaming video does not work in full screen mode. The presentation just
stops playing when a video appears on the timeline while in full screen mode.
The other option I have is to embed the movies in the flash file itself.
While this shows the movies fine, a few seconds into the video, the audio sync
is noticeably off. In the 40 second video, the audio finishes a full two
seconds before the video does. It shows the speaker moving his mouth to
silence.

There must be a way to have video play in full screen mode without audio
problems. What should I do in this situation?

Thanks

Can anyone else acknowledge that the flash player won't show streaming video
when the player is started in full screen mode? I know it doesn't affect web
pages, but this seems like a pretty big deal to me.

I was able to dig up the error messages, but I don't know what to do about it.

ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property __id0_ on
flash.display.Stage.

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object
reference.

Hi, were you able to make heads or tails out of this? I've recently
ran into a problem with full screen. (Both as just .swf and in
director.) Suddenly my buttons stop working that are supposed to be
over the top of the video, and the video is not following the code
nice like. It's a somewhat complicated piece (The video loops until
there is an action from the end user. It will be on a touch screen
kiosk - once the screen is touched it should leave the video loop and
jump into an interface build.) This works fine...UNTIL...I put it in
full screen. Then it all falls apart.

Any ideas? I'm on a short time table here.

So you're compiling your movie as ActionScript 3.0 (AS3)? What are you using to
play the video? The FLVPlayback component? You might need to dynamically place
your FLVPlayback instance on the stage with code, rather than manually placing
it on the timelne/stage. (Also, check to make sure that you're not using
duplicate names for instances of movieclips, textfields, etc. on the stage--the
error message is indicating that it can't create a property, and that might be
because something else is creating the same named property.)
