Going full screen

That's an odd problem. Surprised to see that the fields don't line up well. I don't have much time to test this week but may be able to take a look next week.

I have posted an alternate technique on how to toggle into full screen from the SL player using JavaScript here. Unlike the flash button, it won't require that you add it to every slide.

We have created a free solution as well... There are a lot of ways to tackle this

Hey, James. Did y'all just add that? Thanks!

James, I would also appreciate a direct forum post  to your solution with a bit more of an explanation if you could as to how you tackled this!

Thanks in advance.

Hi James, 

When I add this to my storyline file and then publish it, it works in the preview. (When I open the html5 file). However, when I upload it to moodle the button doesn't respond to anything. I tried the same thing with the sample file you provided with the same result, so I don't think I'm doing it wrong. Any suggestions? I'm running in Moodle 1.9. 

Edit: I figured out the problem, but am not sure how to fix it. I have this embedded in an iframe, and it doesn't look like the iframe is allowing it to call the javascript. Does anyone have a fix for this? 

Great SWF, thanks  Steve.

I too have the same kind of problem.

I want to have a fullscreen EXE in the end.

I already had a SWF menu in my SL file with buttons you could select with TAB/ Shift TAB. Once I go fullscreen, nothing works anymore.

Text entry fields also stops working when fullscreen.

You can try with this simple and ugly SWF where I included the fullscreen button.

It seems you can't get the Storyline project to go fullscreen by itself.

I tried everything I could in the SWF : direct fullscreen code, mouse click simulation with and without timeout.

Is there any security involved ?

Thanks !

Hello,

I made a few more tests. You have to have user input to go fullscreen (mouse or keyboard).

I'm on a project with keyboard navigation so I made a SWF that will use keypresses to go fullscreen.

It works but... they're a huge drawback : no keyboard input in fullscreen mode !

I tried using : stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE instead of stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN but it's not working once the Flash is imported into Storyline.

I think there should be some kind of authorisation <param name="allowFullScreenInteractive" value="true" />to put in the HTML page somewhere but I don't know where and how.

 EDIT :

You have to edit this line as follow in story_content\story.js and it works !

strHtml += "<param name='allowFullScreenInteractive' value='true' />";

Thanks Pierre for continuing to keep us updated on what you've done to achieve a full screen mode! I'm sure that'll help someone else who comes across this thread since it's not something built into Storyline.
