custom fullscreen button

Hi Juan.

Unfortunately, the component version of the player doesn't yet have the ability to engage fullscreen mode.  It's on the list, and I hope it will be added in the next component update.

Here's the code.  I can't promise it will work in your scenario as fullscreen isn't officially supported in the component yet.

The component doesn't scale the slide show, rather it re-draws and re-positions the elements.  So you'll need to re-position any custom stage items after you engage FS, including the new fullscreen button you're using.

The fullscreen class doesn't have exposed variables at this time, so you can't disable the default controls in fullscreen mode - though I assume you could cover them via another MC if needed.

The following code assumes you have the latest component (904), which has an instance name of "soundslides", and your custom fullscreen button is named "fullscreen_btn".  Also, you'll need a listener to utilize the "onScreenChanged" callback function.

// Prepare the Stage so it does not scale when in FullScreen mode
Stage.scaleMode="noScale";
Stage.align="LT";

//Enable fullscreen mode
soundslides.fullscreenAvailable = true;

//Add the listener
ss_listen = {};
ss_listen.onScreenChanged = function(state){
    
    if(state == "fullScreen"){
        // reposition your fullscreen_btn to full monitor dimensions
        // I would base it off of Stage.width and Stage.height to 
        // compensate for different monitors sizes
    }else{
        // reposition your fullscreen btn back to the normal position
    }
}

//Add the code for the FullScreen button
fullscreen_btn.onRelease = function(){
    soundslides.fullscreen();
}

Yeah, I can't help much with Flash 8. 

Several of the fullscreen-related AS commands weren't fully available until Flash CS3.
