Re: AW: change full screen mode at runtime in Dir 8.5.1

[Stephen Ingrum]

The other advantage to using this method is that you get away from the 1 
pixel black line outlining the full screen projectors.

The window resizing is simple- the issue is that you have to take into 
account every sprite on the stage. SO... make sure that every member has 
their regpoint in the center of the screen. For instance, author at 
fullscreen (in my case 1600,1200)- during authoring, my movie is set to 
1600,1200, ALL sprites loc=800,600- I just adjust their regpoint to get 
them where I want them (or import using Photocaster, which does the same 
thing)

OK, here's the pc version (should be x-plat, but NOT tested) (also, most 
of this is email lingo)

global gScreenWidth,gScreenHeight,gScreenCenterPT
on startmovie
 deskRect = the desktopRectList[1]
 gScreenWidth=deskRect.right
 gScreenHeight=deskRect.bottom
 gScreenCenterPT=point(gscreenwidth/2,gscreenheight/2)
end
on goFullScreen
 (the stage).rect = the desktopRectList[1]
sendAllSprites(#reCenter)
end
on gosmall w,h
--should test to make sure not already small
 deskRect=the desktopRectList[1]
 aleft=(deskRect.right-w)/2
 atop=(deskRect.bottom-h)/2
 (the stage).rect=rect(aleft,atop,aleft+w,atop+h)
sendAllSprites(#reCenter)
end
---------------------------------------
Then, on each sprite, this behavior
global gScreenCenterPT
property spr,spritenum
on beginSprite me
 spr=sprite(spritenum)
reCenter(me)
end
on reCenter me
 spr.loc=gScreenCenterPT
end
------------------------------------------------------
OK, I didn't change ALL of my sprites' regpoints- for some of them 
(digital video) I used the following behavior

property spr,spritenum,pofflocx,pofflocy
global gScreenCenterPT
on getPropertyDescriptionList me
 plist= [#pofflocx:[#comment:"Point X from 
center",#format:#integer,#default:0],#pofflocy:[#comment:"Point Y from 
center",#format:#integer,#default:0]]
 return plist
end

on beginSprite me
 spr=sprite(spritenum)
reCenter(me)
end
on reCenter me
 spr.loc=gScreenCenterPT+point(pofflocx,pofflocy)
end


   Thank you,

mac or pc? When the window is in "window" mode, do you want to see the
   

normal title bar with min,max,close buttons?
Hi Stephen!
Thanks for your answer. I am developping on a PC, but I would need that
functionality for a cross-platform CD, so if there were a MAC solution, I'd
take that too!
But I'd be glad to have your win-only solution.
Window without title bar would do it, yes!
Thanks in advance
