How about just checking whether the projector window is minimized, using Buddy API or
Master App?
-- CAUTION: Untested email pseudocode
on activateApplication
if baWindowInfo ( baWinHandle ( ), "state" ) = "min" then
-- may need to set a timeout here to start polling for when state changes
else
-- go ahead and set your screen res here
end if
end
