I spent couple of hours trying to figure this one out, so at the end of my thorny journey I decided to share this with all of you. <\/p>\n

I have a lot of old standalone projector AS2 Flash 8 projects. Each one begins with fscommands that switch player to fullscreen and setup rest of the stuff.
\n[ftf w=”480″ h=”250″]fscommand(“allowscale”,”false”);
\nfscommand(“fullscreen”, “true”);
\nfscommand(“trapallkeys”, “true”);
\nfscommand (“showmenu”, “false”);<\/p>\n

escKey = {};
\nescKey.onKeyDown = function(){
\n\tif(Key.getCode() == Key.ESCAPE){
\n\t\tfscommand(“quit”, “”);
\n\t}
\n};
\nKey.addListener(escKey);
\nfscommand(“trapallkeys”, “true”);[\/ftf]
\nWell, that worked just fine before Flash 9. But today I had to build a simple AS2 game and wanted to do the same – upon starting, goto fullscreen, send all key events… Upon publishing, my game didn’t want to go to fullscreen. To make things even more stranger – not even pressing CTRL+F didn’t switch to fullscreen! As it turned out, <\/p>\n

fscommand(\"trapallkeys\", \"true\");<\/pre>\n
 was causing problems. After commenting that line out everything worked fine… except capturing of key events – a major factor to my game.<\/p>\n
But, BEHOLD! Few hours later, a magical combination of TRUE, true, and false, FALSEs, finally worked out:
\n[ftf w=”480″ h=”120″]fscommand(“allowscale”,”FALSE”);
\nfscommand(“fullscreen”, “TRUE”);
\nfscommand (“showmenu”, “false”);
\nfscommand(“trapallkeys”, “true”); [\/ftf]<\/p>\n
Why is this happening, I don’t, but I am glad I made it work. More people reported similar problems with fscommand in Flash 9:<\/p>\n
