Hello all,
I have built an application in adobe air that i would like to run fullscreen
as a kiosk. Can I create the kiosk functionality using director 11? If so,
can someone point me to how I can get started?
Thanks
Jason

Hi Jason,

Are you asking if you can use Director to make your AIR application run full
screen?
Or are you just interested in how you'd go about creating a full screen
application with Director?

I can make it fullscreen, I would like to take advantage of the kiosk features in director, like blocking hot keys (ctrl alt del) etc..

You can link to AIR from Director but can't have an AIR app embedded in Director. Does that answer your question?

if I create a kisok style app in director and link it to my air app, will I be able to block the user from closing the air app?
Thanks

Hi Jason,

How would you normally exit your AIR Application? Do you have a keyboard with the application? Do you wnat to block certain keys?

yes, you need to create a *stub* Director projector not visible to users. That
stub projector would disable hot keys like CTRL+ALT+DEL and run your AIR
application on start.

I'd assume you'd need the Director projector in the background to be set to
'Animate in Background' so it is active while the AIR application is running. Would
also need the exitLock property to be set to TRUE to prevent exiting from the
projector. I'd still test.
