Full Screen in Director
by Robin Kelly on May 20, 2008 at 7:46:22 pm

Hello

I see that Adobe has released a new version of Director. I am looking for a solution to the Full Screen problem in Director 2004.

My goal is to have my exe run in a full screen window. Is this only possible in Flash? has anyone had any luck making this work.

Thanks

Robin

Since Flash is vector based it is resolution independent, so it can scale. Director is bitmap based (even in v11) and as everyone knows bitmaps scale badly realtime.

If you look at the releted articles below you'll find some suggestions. You need to define a set Stage size when authoring and that's it, BUT: you can branch out to different sizes you've made immediately after user startup, automatically.
You can also have a content movie as a MIAW in the middle of a really huge background Stage which will cover any screen resolution.
For the end user this may be good enough and just perfect, and that's what counts you know - not the technical capabilities and how it's done "behind the Stage" so to speak.
