Flash FLVplayback giving issues in fullscreen mode - content dissapears


I am working on a video playing menu set up to work in Flash player as an exe. I have videos playing in the background with buttons hovering above the video with which the user can then play different videos. I am not a programmer but I have an understanding of very basic actionscript3 which I often cut and paste and/or modify in small ways.

My problem: When launching in fullsreen mode:

stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;

The video seems to make everything else disappear by appearing on top of it or in other cases just causing a blank black screen.

this."name of FLV playback instance".fullScreenTakeOver = false;

Doesn't seem to be solving the problem. Any help would be appreciated! :-)


Solution

  • I discovered in many cases it helped to put the "name of FLV playback instance".fullScreenTakeOver = false; code in the same timeline as the FLVPlayback. I still have the black screen issue sometimes, but I am working on that now.

    Found the solution for the Blank screen. It's a glitch in Flash. Put the FLVPlayback on the first frame of a movieclip. This might mean converting it to a symbol in order to nest it on the first frame.
