How do utilize the fullscreen in ActionScript? - actionscript

Does anyone know how to make your website fill the entire screen in ActionScript?

If you mean full browser flash, there is an article on devnet, among many other online resources.
If you mean fullscreen mode, here's another devnet article on that.
You've got code, files and explanations there.
Goodluck.

Can I make a docked playlist in vlc NOT dominate the window?

I'd like to be able to view my playlist in vlc in a manner where it is non-obtrusive. Currently it looks something like this:
My desire is kind of the opposite - have the actual video playing take up the majority of the screen and have the playlist unobtrusively off to the side (actually in reality I would probably be happy with an undocked playlist except for this bug.
I'm aware there is a hidden resizer between the video and the media sources thing, but in the image shown I cannot resize the video portion any larger than that.
I know this is a late response, but if anyone else is looking for an answer to this problem like I was, I'd like to spare them the headache of searching any further than necessary for it.
Juidging by this post on VideoLAN's forum made by the site administrator (Jean-Baptiste Kempf), this seems to be working as intended.
Yes, there is no way to have that mode. Either it's two windows, or you just have the preview instead of the thumbnail.
(my emphasis)
This is, in my opinion, a silly limitation/feature to have.
EDIT 2019:
It seems to now be possible to achieve what the OP wants. Just drag the top part of the video up and the navigation will get hidden, you'll see a vertical resize icon replacing the pointer icon when you hover over the line between the navigation and the video. This at least works on my version of VLC (Version 3.0.7.1) on Windows 10
I don't know when this was implemented but I'd feel very silly if I didn't try this before originally posting this answer.

Add a small video clip as background

I have an app and would like to have a video loop in the background of my initial view. It will serve as my home screen and menu and will have buttons overlaying on top of it. I have looked around but can't seem to find a guide or tutorial on this.
Take a look at MPMoviePlayerController for what is probably the most approachable way to attack the video idea.
MPMoviePlayerController will very quickly let you present a fullscreen interface, but will require a bit more work to use it "in-line" which is what you are describing.
Otherwise you'll find yourself wandering down the AVAsset path, which will allow far more control over what is happening, but will require quite a bit more code to configure.
As far as 3rd party options go, using the excellent GPUImage will allow you to throw a video at a view quite seamlessly and with very little code written on your part (the "SimpleVideoFileFilter" project in the examples can show you the way). But since you are merely displaying a video, this would be a significant amount of bloat for your project.
Bigger picture, using Animations instead of a movie has lots of appeal, for the performance, battery life, and general responsiveness of your app reasons stated by others.

Multiple UIWebViews out of memory warning

I am working with some developers who are creating an iOS 5 iPad app for us. I am familiar with coding but my no means an expert. The developers have hit a wall in their code and so I am turning to you guys to check, that there really isn't anything left to try to resolve this problem, before we give up. I've looked around and can't seem to find a straight forward resolution anywhere else, so here's the question to you guys:
The App always has to have four UIWebViews loaded. The UIWebViews need to be able to contain any website out there, be it YouTube, or whatever you can think of (i.e. something like tabbed browsing). We've tried having them on screen and off screen but either way we always run into memory problems.
I know looking to Safari isn't helpful as it's created by the mothership directly, but we're only talking about four UIWebViews here, surely this shouldn't be such a problem? Any ideas...?
Many thanks,
M
There is only one true solution: Create your own equivalent to UIWebView that has only the features that you need, and therefore has a much smaller footprint than Apple's class. I've written such a thing, but it is not public, sorry.

iPad Music app like interface

I'm making internet radio app for iPad and I was wondering if there are standard or custom implementations of iPad Music app-like interface. I mean thumbnails of albums and when you tap on a thumbnail - cover animation and presenting another controller. Is there something for that? Thanks a lot
Nope. There are bits and pieces of code that don't really work (those are all separate links), but they're a good start for getting something like coverflow working.
Also, you might want to try showing examples of what you have already found in your searching, or any code/UI you've already implemented. Most people on SO are happy to help, but don't take well to 'I haven't put any effort into this yet, please show me all the code I need for my project'. Even if you have put effort in, if you post a 2 sentence question with no demonstrable work, people will assume the worst. Best of luck.

Preventing screen grab within Delphi [duplicate]

How can I prevent users from taking screenshots of my application window?
So far I have be able to stop the Prt Sc key press and able to clear the clipboard so that my application cannot be screen grab.
However as a test I tried used Corel PaintShop pro and an option it has is to import screen capture which is very different from screen grabbing using the clipboard and as I suspected my application did not stop this.
So I have found the following code at this site : http://www.bitwisemag.com/copy/delphi/delphi1.html
This uses a different way of grabbing what is on screen and I presume that Corels method is similar to this. Is there anyway of this method of screen grabbing from being used on my application.
Greg Hewgill - Cheers for this - I will read this post
to get a screenshot on Windows is trivial, eg GetWindowDC(NULL). The only way I can think of is similar to this answer: stackoverflow.com/questions/455623/… – Nick
Nick looks like the same post that Greg has mentioned - however cheers for your response
Why go to this trouble? People nowadays can simply take a photo with their phone and send that around? – Marjan Venema
That may be true Marjan but I am trying to stop spyware programs from click logging if that makes the matter clearer.
The only way I can think of is to use DirectX. When certain apps such as DVD players write to the screen using DirectX, Windows sees a black (not quite black, but close) rectangle where the video shows. Attemps to use PrintScr or GetWindowDC() return that black rectangle. High-end screen capture apps like Snag-It can use DirectX to render the image properly, but this would be a 99% solution for you, and as others have said, users can always take a photo anyway.
