Flash AS2 fullscreen problem - actionscript-2

i have my code to make the stage go to fullscreen but it doesn't seem to work if I use the .swf version of the file, if i export it as a .exe file though it will work, heres my function
function toggleFullScreen() {
Stage.displayState = (Stage.displayState == "normal") ? Stage.displayState = "fullScreen" : Stage.displayState = "normal";
}

Have you set allowFullScreen=true in your embed params?

Playing different Sound files in Appcelerator Titanium makes the audio got noise

I have created an app using appcelerator for Iphone , which buy click on buttons it will play a relative sound , here is the code, but the problem is when i play the audio many times and play different audios using this function the sound starts to lag and have noise inside, can anybody help me with it , Thanks.
var soundplaying = 0;
var sound;
function playaudio(url) {
if (soundplaying == 0) {
sound = Ti.Media.createSound({});
sound.setUrl('../assets/audio/' + url);
sound.addEventListener('complete', function() {
sound.release();
soundplaying = 0;
});
sound.play();
soundplaying = 1;
}
}
(i have tried to release the sound object after each time but still no use, I tried to createSound only once but seems the titanium dose not support changing url for Media.Sound) dynamically.
I could have solve this issue temporary , by changing the audio files format to .m4a (aac).
i was using mp3 earlier.

Safari 5.1 extension development error -> event.userInfo returns null when it try to get selected text

I am trying to create a simple safari extension. My current version of Safari is 5.1.7 running in Snow Leopard.
I have 2 documents :
global.html
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<script>
safari.application.addEventListener("command", performCommand, false);
function performCommand(event) {
if (event.command === "traducir") {
var query = event.userInfo;
alert(query);
query = query.replace(/\s+/g,"+");
var newTab = safari.application.activeBrowserWindow.openTab();
newTab.url = "http://translate.google.es/#en/es/" + query ;
}
}
</script>
and the injected script : injected.js
document.addEventListener("contextmenu", handleMessage, false);
function handleMessage(msgEvent) {
var sel = '';
sel = window.parent.getSelection()+'';
sel = sel.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");
safari.self.tab.setContextMenuEventUserInfo(msgEvent, sel);
}
The extension is very simple :
1- When the user selects one text or word, click right-button and select the item of the contextual menu that raise the function.
2- The injected file gets the value of the selected text and it shared with the global.html through the userInfo.
3- The global.html script open a new tab with the url of google translate.
The problem is that event.userInfo is always NULL. I was searching in Google and all the examples are like this and I donĀ“t know where the problem is and why it returns always NULL.
This could possibly be due to a too strict setting for "Access Level" in the Extension Builder. Try setting the dropdown menu to "All", and tick the "Include Secure Pages" checkbox.

Web Audio API. Play sound on click of button

I am a complete novice with HTML5 and coding for that matter. I have been trying to get to grips with the web audio API. I want a sound to play at a click of a button. I used a tutorial posted on HTML5Rocks, but cannot get it to work. I have tried to use jfiddle to help me troubleshoot, but to no avail.
here is my code:
http://jsfiddle.net/ue8WP/
Try this:
function playsound()
{
var filepath='sounds/'+....+'.mp3'; //example
var audio = new Audio();
audio.src = filepath;
audio.controls = true;
audio.autoplay = true;
}
Here's a simplified version of your code that should work fine. You only need to load some other sample sound, since there is a problem with fetching the one you provided (not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin).

Windowless (not chromeless) Adobe AIR app

What would be the best way to go about building an Adobe AIR app that doesn't have any windows (i.e. exists only in the system tray / dock)? I noticed that the default base tag in Flash Builder is <s:WindowedApplication> which seems to imply there'll be a window.
Should I just use <s:WindowedApplication> and call window.hide()? I saw there's another base class, <s:Application>, but I got the sense that was more for files that run in the browser. It seems like using window.hide() would briefly flash a window when the application starts which could confuse users. However I'd also ideally like to retain the ability to have the app open a window later if needed, or also to change the application from tray-only to windowed through an update.
You need to edit the app-config file to enable transparent chrome and visible = false. Then you need to change the WindowedApplication tag to and app your custom skin. You need to add control buttons for close etc, since that functionality isn't present in a web-app (since you have changed the tag). Also you need to add drag functionality. If you like to make your application re-sizable you need to add that too, manually.
In your manifest (-app.xml) file set systemChrome to none and transparent to true. The visible property is irrelevant, and the default is false anyway so ignore it.
you'll have to tweak this, import whatever classes are missing, etc... you could also do it as an mxml component and just set visible and enabled to false on the root tag. Fill up the trayImages array with the icons you want in the dock.
p
ackage{
import spark.components.WindowedApplication;
public class HiddenApplication extends WindowedApplication{
public function HiddenApplication(){
super();
enabled=false;
visible=false;
var trayImages:Array;
if(NativeApplication.supportsDockIcon||NativeApplication.supportsSystemTrayIcon){
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.activate();
var sep:NativeMenuItem = new NativeMenuItem(null,true);
var exitMenu:NativeMenuItem = new NativeMenuItem('Exit',false);
exitMenu.addEventListener(Event.SELECT,shutdown);
var updateMenu:NativeMenuItem = new NativeMenuItem('Check for Updates',false);
updateMenu.addEventListener(Event.SELECT,upDcheck);
var prefsMenu:NativeMenuItem = new NativeMenuItem('Preferences',false);
prefsMenu.addEventListener(Event.SELECT,Controller.showSettings);
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon.addEventListener(ScreenMouseEvent.CLICK,showToolBar);
if(NativeApplication.supportsSystemTrayIcon){
trayIcon = SystemTrayIcon(NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon);
setTrayIcons();
trayIcon.tooltip = "Some random tooltip text";
trayIcon.menu = new NativeMenu();
trayIcon.menu.addItem(prefsMenu);
trayIcon.menu.addItem(sep);
trayIcon.menu.addItem(updateMenu);
trayIcon.menu.addItem(exitMenu);

}

Can Adobe AIR Desktop application take full screen snapshots (aka Print Screen button)

I would like to know if its possible to get full screen snapshots from an air application.
What i am interested in, is functionality similar to PrintScreen button in windows, which takes snapshots of all screens, including third party application windows, not just window in which air app is running.
If its not specific to air, and flash/flex API can provide such functionality, it also would be great.
Thanx a lot in advance.
Check out this article as it explains obtaining a screenshot by calling a native process:
import flash.filesystem.File;
import flash.events.NativeProcessExitEvent;
var process:NativeProcess;
if(NativeProcess.isSupported) {
var file:File = File.applicationDirectory;
var args:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
if (Capabilities.os.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") > -1) {
file = file.resolvePath("PATH/TO/WINDOWS/printscr");
//use your prefered screenshot tool here (e.g. https://code.google.com/p/screenshot-cmd/
//also setup the args as needed
} else if (Capabilities.os.toLowerCase().indexOf("mac") > -1) {
file = file.resolvePath("/usr/sbin/screencapture");
args[0] = "-i";
args[1] = "screencapture.png";
}
var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = args;
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
nativeProcessStartupInfo.workingDirectory = File.desktopDirectory;
process = new NativeProcess();
process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
process.addEventListener(NativeProcessExitEvent.EXIT,done);
}else trace("NativeProcess NOT SUPPORTED!");
function done(e:NativeProcessExitEvent):void{
trace("screenshot comprete");
}
One important thing to bear in mind is the AIR device profile.
If you're initially testing in ADL, be sure to use the extendedDesktop profile, otherwise NativeProcess.isSupported will return false.
For more details check out the NativeProcess documentation and the Communicating with native processes in AIR developer guide
