The ActionScript code to make the application go into FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE is exactly the same. Joe, that just means you’re using Flex 4 instead of Flex 3.

I am trying to make my application full screen on launch with no navigation controlls and no windows box around the application (I do not want the user to be able to minamize the application). I am creating this application for a touch screen kiosk. My script block is fx not mx so I am not sure how to use the code above. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe your project isn't setup properly? Try deleting the project and then rebuilding it. Also you can double check that your application is set to build the html files by right clicking on the project, going to Properties > Flex Compiler, and making sure that "Generate HTML Wrapper file" is checked.


Ross:

I compiled again with this main BrowserWindow.mxml file (previous one was wrong ) but still the same problem.

I resolved the flexlib library by placing the flexlib.swc in the "libs" directory. But then I encounter this problem on compiling... File not found: file:/Users/Ross/Documents/Adobe%20Flash%20Builder%204/KatMDI/bin-debug/KioskTest.html Seems that KioskTest.html file is not found here, what could have gone wrong? Also, please correct me here. I did some research over the web and understood that flexlib is the advanced version of flexmdi? Most of the code development happens in flexlib as the new version of flex2.5 was released couple of months back.

Hi, I was looking around for some examples on flex MDI and came across your blog. The full application download link seems to be broken.

Hey Ross, I fixed the download link.

I tried manually on my side and ge tthis error:
Error: Unable to locate specified base class ‘flexlib.mdi.containers.MDIWindow’ for component class ‘browser’

You need to make sure that Flex MDI is in your project’s source path. The easiest way is to put the FlexMDI swc in your project’s “libs” directory.

For more information on the libs directory, check out this tip. Using the libs directory in Flex Builder.
