when you go to create a projector

File -> create projector

click on the options button... and check the fullscreen option.

Hi Marsha

LingoManiac's solution will only fill the rest of the screen around your
movie with your movie's backgroundcolor.
If you use this Lingocode in a moviescript, your movie will stretch to fill
the screen:
You need to set "in a window" and uncheck "Show titlebar" in the projector
options.
on preparemovie

fullscreen = the desktoprectlist[1]

(the stage).rect = fullscreen

(the stage).drawrect = fullscreen

end

the windows tool bar would be inivisible and if possible the director name
of movie would be invisible too.

If you are in a larger resolution than the movie was authored for you will
get a solid border of the stage's background colour (not usually a problem).
As far as I know you cannot get the stage to resize to full screen (in a
projector that is, it works fine in ShockWave). If someone knows otherwise
please tell.

you can take a clear projector in fullscreen mode that opens your real dir-file as a
miaw. the size of the miaw you can set by "rect" and the dektoprectlist

hope this helps

You CAN however scale the users desktop to fit the stage using DirectOS and
scale it back to its original size on exit of the CDROM. ;)

If you want the director mivie to resize to the actual screen size use:

on startMovie
set (the stage).rect = the desktoprectlist[1]
end

Hope it helps,

Yes

I have build a project that uses similar stuff.
And some one asked me about it in my personal Director forum. Look at the
info at: http://www.shocksites.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17

Basicly

(the stage).rect = the desktopRectList[1]
(the stage).drawRect = the desktopRectList[1]

I think there are 2 parts. The first part draws the size of the screen to
the current screen size. The second part stretches the the elements to the
screen size.
