hello

i m using the latest version of ssp and thumbgrid and i got a little problem (i'm a total newbie in flash) i've made an AS3 scene and put ssp and thumbgrid side by side using the command menu so the instances are properly named my_ssp and my_tg (the ssp layer is above the tg layer) i've changed some background alpha parameters here and there and all is working well as long as i don't switch to full screen mode

when i do the thumbgrid is appearing behind my images wich isn't good how to tell thumbgrid that he must go away when i click on my pictures to switch to full screen mode

thanks in advance

You will need to hide the ThumbGrid through ActionScript in order to prevent it to show while on Full Screen.

The slideshow has some inner code that when Full Screen is triggered the slideshow will resize to the Full Screen dimensions. However if you need to hide or modify any other objects of your swf file you will need to write your own ActionScript code for that.

Flash itself provides an event so that you can know when Full Screen is triggered or exited. Based on that event you can change the appearance of ThumbGrid and any other objects you want to hide.

Is there an example script we can use because I am having this same issue on an important project...thanks.

On a similar note, when using the layered thumbgrid example, if you use the keyboard command to go into fullscreen mode, you can't access the thumbgrid when in fullscreen. The tooltip id there, but clicking does nothing.

Is there a way to have the thubmbgrid instance accessible when in fullscreen?

Thanks,
Michael

Hi I too am having problems figuring out how to hid the ThumbGrid on full screen. I have tried the enterFullScreenDisplayState code at http://wiki.slideshowpro.net/SSPfl/API- … splayState but Flash just complains about an undefined function. I am running the latest Flash 1.9.3 and ThumbGrid which I just purchased. I am trying to use external buttons and got the other functions such as Next and Prev to work but not the full screen button. On a side note, why are the parameters neatly arranged by group area in one FLA file and alphabetically in another FLA file? Is this a toggle that I can change somewhere?

As a followup, I have now figured out how to turn off the ThumbGrid on the full screen event along with setting external buttons to visable:false but I still have two problems. 1) Sometimes the external buttons still show and 2) Still haven't figured out how to trigger the slideshow into full screen mode upon clicking a button. As mentioned earlier, I could not get the method for enterFullScreenDisplayState to be recognized.

Thanks
Steve

Hi,

When the background of SSP is set to transparent and the images are set to proportional, it is possible to see other elements of the page when SSP is in fullscreen mode.

I use the AS3 script below as a workaround to overcome that problem:

function fullScreenRedraw(event:FullScreenEvent):void {
if (event.fullScreen) {
my_ssp.contentAreaBackgroundAlpha=1;
} else {
my_ssp.contentAreaBackgroundAlpha=0;
}
}
my_ssp.stage.addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN, fullScreenRedraw);

In the SSP component I've set the background to the color I want to use in fullscreen mode and I'vee set the Alpha to 0 (transparent).
In fullscreen mode the alpha is set to 1 and shows the backgroundcolor and in normal mode it is set to 0 and shows no color.

It is a workaround but can solve your problem.

Hi Again.

Thanks for your suggestion and I tried it but it didn't seem to help. The buttons that are controlling the interface is external to the slideshowpro object but on the desktop. Also the background of SSP is not set to transparent (contentAreaBackgroundAlpha is set to 1 in the component inspector). I tried the following which gets me most of the way there:

my_ssp.stage.addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN, fullScreenRedraw);

function fullScreenRedraw(event:FullScreenEvent):void {
if (event.fullScreen) {
my_tg.visible = false;
prev_btn.visible = false;
next_btn.visible = false;
pGroup_btn_visible = false;
nGroup_btn_visible = false;
play_btn.visible = false;
pause_btn.visible = false;
fullScreen_btn.visible = false;
} else {
my_tg.visible = true;
fullScreen_btn.visible = true;
togglePlaybackVisibility("Auto")
}
}

It looks like the slideshowpro object is turning the visibility of these items back on as it plays. I know it can be done, because I see it working on this web site http://www.cooperstudios.net/photo-gall … ings.html.

I also have the problem of not knowing how to programatically trigger full screen mode like the "F" key does or the Full Screen button on the navigation pallette. I am also trying to control this from an external button.

Thanks
Steve

Hi Sollie

I've used your solution for changing the ssp fullscreen background colour, it works great, thanks!
I tried to do the same with the thumbgrid so that on normal screen the alpha is set to 0 and then have a background colour for the tg in fullscreen but i'm not that good at as3, i tried a few ways of adding in tg to the code but keep getting errors, would you know how i'd go about it?

Cheers
Andy

Hello,
how did you get the thumb nails to disappear on full screen mode

marioseq · 2010-02-15 21:00:19

I having this issue also with the thumbnails on the full screen
how do i fix it..

saschaschindelholz · 2010-02-16 10:48:44

I guess i just found out how to solve that problem!

I've tried all the suggestions that were entered here an none worked the way i wanted to, but
there is a simple configuration in the SSP Component which handles the resizing of the SSP stage.
The resizing is the main problem which occures to push the Thumbgrid into the back.

1 Goto the Component Inspector of the SSP Instance in your FLA File
2 Scroll down to 'OPTIONS'
3 Deactivate 'FullScreen Refomat' and 'FullScreen Take Over'

Voila, that worked for me.
I hope that helps! : )

Greetings
Sascha

Was this issue ever resolved? I have the same problem. Thumbgrid remains on full screen takeover.
