The project is a keyframe based presentation and I’m an actionscript novice. It is to run, full screen, as an executable off a CD ROM and there are 4 .flvs in the executable. Here is my code for the first frame which contains opening video, and it works fine (sadly a simple fscommand fullscreen from as2 won’t work). Problem is, I get black screens & weirdness when I try to use stageDisplayState and fullScreenTakeOver’s on the frames that contain the other 3 videos.

I’m at my wits end and will happily send you or your favorite charity $50 for your efforts. Oh, and I need to resolve this by early tomorrow am. Many thanks.

stop ()

//fscommand(“fullscreen”, “true”);

stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL\_SCREEN;

introVid.fullScreenTakeOver = false;

introVid.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function () { gotoAndStop(“Home”); });

BtnSkipVid.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, novid);  
function novid(event:MouseEvent):void  
{  
introVid.stop();  
gotoAndStop(“Home”);  
}
