Full screen mode

Post by magice » Wed Jan 19, 2011 5:50 pm

A friend has asked me to help him make a comic book reader app. He was going to work in .net, but i have been trying to convert him to livecode. The one thing that the app will require, that i am not sure can be done in Livecode is to run in full screen mode like a movie viewer. Can this be done, and can someone point me in the direction of what I need to learn.

Give this a try:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   set the fullscreen of this stack to true -- fullscreen mode
end mouseUp

on mouseUp
   set the fullscreen of this stack to false -- normal mode
end mouseUp
Best regards,

Hi all,

It can really help in the development process of a kiosk application to be able to quickly check how it looks full screen, then go back to “normal” display, with your stack one window amongst several on the screen. This then allows you to see and work with other files and programs. One way is to create a button with the following script as a “toggle” control:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   set the fullscreen of this stack to not the fullscreen of this stack
end mouseUp
This is just a variant of Doc’s suggestion. It may also be useful to check out the backdrop property.

Regards,
Michael
