_focusRect = false;
fscommand2("resetsoftkeys");
fscommand2("setquality", "high");
fscommand2("fullscreen", "true");
This code does the following:
o Stops the playhead at this frame.
o Disables the yellow focus rectangle that Flash Lite draws by default around the
button or input text field with the current focus.
o Resets the soft keys to their default state. (Later in the tutorial, you'll add code
that registers the soft keys for your application to use.)
o Sets the player's rendering quality to high. By default, Flash Lite renders graphical
content at medium quality.
o Forces the player to display the application full screen.
To test your work so far, select Control > Test Movie.
In the emulator, click the Up or Down Arrow keys on the keypad with your mouse (or press the
Up or Down Arrow keys on your computer's keyboard) to give focus to the Specials button.
When the Specials button item gets focus, you will see the button's over state.
Click the Select key on the emulator's keypad (or press the Enter key on your keyboard) to
select the menu item.
At this point, the specials screen contains no features. In the next section, you'll add
interactivity and animation to create the specials screen.
Creating the Specials Screen
In this section, you'll create the user interface elements that let the user browse images and
descriptions of each special. The specials screen consists of the following parts:
y An animation that transitions between images of each special.
y Dynamic text fields that display the name and description for each special.
y User interface elements that let the user navigate between specials and return to the main
application screen.
This section of the tutorial is divided into two parts. In the first part, you'll create the animation that
transitions between images of each special. In the second part, you'll add user interface elements
and ActionScript to let the user navigate between the images and to display each special's name
and description.
