AIR Native Extension enabling native full screen mode (app has its own space created, is accessible through Mission Control, etc.) on Mac OS (Lion or higher).
Add MacOSFullScreen.ane as a dependency and include this in your app's descriptor file:
<!-- Identifies the ActionScript extensions used by an application. -->
<extensions>
<extensionID>com.lazarecki.MacOSFullScreen</extensionID>
</extensions>Then, in your app's Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE handler call this:
var macOSFullScreen:MacOSFullScreenANE = new MacOSFullScreenANE(true);
macOSFullScreen.enableFullScreen(stage.nativeWindow);If you're going to target Mac OS X Yosemite, you need to pass an optional parameter, which enables a workaround (credits to Jamie from Simplest Ways) for this version (and probably next ones):
var macOSFullScreen:MacOSFullScreenANE = new MacOSFullScreenANE(true);
macOSFullScreen.enableFullScreen(stage.nativeWindow, true);Now you can click the green maximize/minimize button to enter/leave the full screen mode or alt-click to maximize/minimize the window instead.
You can also call:
macOSFullScreen.toggleFullScreen();to manually enter or leave the full screen mode.
There are two projects included. One is an AS3 wrapper and the other is an actual Obj-C native extension. You can edit and build the former as any other AS3 project. For the later you'll need XCode5. When you build the Obj-C part of this extension, `build.command' script is called, so make sure you first set the right path to it in the project settings. Other thing is to always create a release build, this can be done using Build -> Build for -> Profiling.
