Full Screen Flv Video and SWFs: Flash CS4 Tutorial

Well here it is, one of the tutorials I get so many requests about. We will cover using stage.displayState to set the stage to full screen and further control whether or not the actual content of the SWF file or the video fills the screen or if the background color of our flash file's stage fills the screen. We will also create a mini-controller which will allow us to toggle between the full screen and normal view modes. This is NOT using the skins available to us in the Import Video dialog, we will actually be doing a little coding here. Really any flash file you want, video or not!

If you enjoyed the video please comment and rate!

nice video, but next time pls record in new HD format of youtube :)

[tutvid]

hehe, nah I will only use the HD for my shorter stuff (under 10 minutes). I don't want to go over the new size limit and dealing wit 20+ minutes of 1280x720 video can just take more time as far as exporting and compressing the file. For the smaller stuff I definitely want to use it though. Thanks for the comment...

what do u use to record the screen?

[tutvid]

I use a program called Screen Virtuoso, but I recommend My Screen Recorder, I used it for a few years, but things got a little "complicated" and I had to switch. My Screen Recorder is the best and easiest I have used.

You should watch his other videos. I think you have a learning disability because this guy is the best at tutorials on the web, I've watched hundreds. I've never found somebody so easy to understand and with such quality and extra knowledge. He gives you shortcuts, multiple ways to achieve the same effect, and has an easy going voice AND he doesnt use a mic with static in the background. I hate that.

Hi, I just wondered, do you have a tutorial on making the gallery that you've featured in this video? I've had a look through your website, but I can't seem to find it. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

So, only if I've got Dreamwaver I can have fullscreen?

Good stuff! But I was wondering how I can scale specific movieclips when full screen is activated, while other movieclips retain their original scale? - Cheers.
