I'm building an interactive touch screen display for a client, using Flash CS3
under Vista 32-bit and 64-bit.

A projector -- the entry point to the application -- is set to go into
fullscreen mode at load time (using fscommand) and works fine. It calls a SWF
which is essentially a menu - a gateway to other menus, videos and slide shows,
all in SWF form, that are called from this first menu or from within other SWFs.

Problem is, the intro screen runs fine, and the first SWF it calls runs fine,
but the next layer (called by the first SWF) show a black screen on load.
Escaping to windowed mode lets them work perfectly, but that would defeat the
purpose of the entire project, which is to have the thing run as a full screen
application from which the viewer can't escape without a keyboard.

Anyone with any experience on this kind of thing? Pointers to sources of good
data also welcome.

Thanks!

Does not sound like flash issue but perhaps there is something in the programming.
I have done literally more than hundreds of projectors for CDs and kiosk and haven't
experience, ever, such thing.

Perhaps you have some pre built component like video player or something that does
it to the stage. Some things you find on line are hard coded to specific stage size
and do not work well once taken out of the predefine environment. Hard to say, it's really
a new one to me.

Perhaps you should try 3rd party tools ? Like Jugglor from www.flashjester.com ?

Hi,

Ok you might want to try moving the second loadmovie command onto say the
5th frame after the first one.

Giving your projector file time to load the 1st one.

Try it.
