Flash Mac Projector title bar bug

Using fscommand(”fullscreen”, “true”) to make Flash Projectors go fullscreen on a Mac sometimes (read 90% of the time) erroneously displays the application titlebar. “But it’s fullscreen” I hear you cry, “There shouldn’t *be* a titlebar!!”. Yes. I know. This is a known bug from Adobe, but is still present in CS3 (yay progress!).

The workaround* is inelegant and has eluded me for some time. No longer. I post for your edification:

make a 3 frame movie:
On frame 1, put fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
On frame 2, put fscommand("fullscreen", "false");
On frame 3, put fscommand("fullscreen", "true");

I hope that no one else must suffer this frustrating bug.

    If for some reason you don’t have access to the code or like to do applescript, you can activate the program and keystroke”f”using command down twice

    Hey, this doesn’t fix the problem in my case. Very very weird.
