\"stinkbug\"Here’s an interesting fact: Going to FullScreen mode causes Flash to temporarily stop executing all onMouseMove events.<\/p>\n

I’m sure if someone from Adobe was pressed hard enough they might be able to provide some convoluted ~logical~ reasons why going into full-screen mode stops all onMouseMove events but I’m not buying it. I wasted a few frustrating hours figuring this out and when I searched the web to confirm my suspicions I found no mention of this “feature” so I’m calling it what it is, a BUG. <\/p>\n

Here, take a look at this ugly SWF (move your mouse around to draw a line whenever the OnMouseMove event is fired and then press the blue square to toggle fullScreen mode). All mouseEvents are halted until the “Press Esc to exit full screen mode” message fades out.<\/p>\n

This is all of the code used to create the above SWF:<\/p>\n

If you think you know why Flash temporarily halts onMouseMove events while displaying the “Press Esc” message I’d love to hear it. Until Adobe fixes this you should use an OnEnterFrame event or SetInterval to get around this particular bug when going full-screen in Flash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
