I need help on getting a Flash projector to run fullscreen on a Mac, without that god awful title bar. Anyone know of any tricks? I tried fscommand fullscreen, but it doesn't seem to work.
The best solution I have come up with is by using Applescript, which seems to work, but want to compare with everyone else.
Thanks in advance.

I've noticed that it only does it on certain macs. I've had that problem many times before. I try it on other macs and it works fine (without the bar). I'd like to know a solution to this too to make it work on all macs.

run it in a browser and use the syntax
Stage.displayState = "fullScreen";
Stage.displayState = "normal";this is available in f8 but not documented

Doesn't running it in a browser take a performance hit though? Isn't it better to run it as a projector? With video it might be fine to play in a browser, but if you are animating several vector elements, plus text, it might be an issue, no?

I found the answer here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/…
Basically you need to put this in instead of the plain displayState used above:
function applyFullScreen(){
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
}
setTimeout(applyFullScreen, 100);This sort of creates a timer to refresh the screen into full screen, which makes the title bar go away like it is supposed to. The post uses a timeout of 100, but that didn't really work for me. I think that must be too short of a time for the show to get up and running and I'm running this on an older Mac. I had to increase it to somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 to get it to work well on my system. You'll just have to play with the numbers a little to get it to work well for your system.
