Re: [Flashcoders] Flashplayer positioning
Hi, This was an issue with the Flashplayer running without a Window manager - for some reason FP10 defaulted to a 200x200 pixel sized window and ignored the size of the Flash content when run in fullscreen. The only way around this is to run a desktop / window manager and launch Flashplayer inside that - problematic because if Flash dies / exits, the user gets access to the desktop rather than a blank screen - not good for kiosk apps. Funny thing is, Flashplayer 9 is fine, so have submitted a bug because that's an unexpected change of behaviour that we have no way of working around.. Thanks for your help, maybe this will be useful for anyone with similar problems Glen Glen Pike wrote: Hi, I tried the Stage.align but this has no effect. The stage size is the same as the monitor size. Looking into this further, it seems to be an issue with the Window Manager - if we run X11 with no Window Manager and start Flashplayer from the command line it can't seem to position itself properly. If we run Flash with a Window Manager / Desktop, e.g. xfce, it aligns fine. I am guessing something changed in FP10 relating to X11 but what...
