HI! I've got one(serious for me) problem using the new Hollywood 4.7...

That code:

Code: Select all

HideDisplay()
SetDisplayAttributes({Width = WbL, Height = WbH, Borderless = True})
ChangeDisplayMode(#DISPMODE_FULLSCREEN, WbL, WbH)

Where WbH = host screen width WbL = host screen height

Works nicely with 4.5 to switch from windowed to fullscreen display without any cscreen flash...

From 4.7 that code gives me:

Cant change display attributes like if it tryes to chage the display size without made the window borderless... Any hint on how to change the screen size now?

Thanks!

The problem seems to be with Hollywood recognizing the change to Borderless while hidden. If you set the display to Borderless before the hide, then it should work. So the following code works for me:

Code: Select all

SetDisplayAttributes({Borderless = True})
HideDisplay()
SetDisplayAttributes({Width = WbL, Height = WbH})

Hi!

It works but was a bit ugly since it goes borderless than hide and chage screen... The user looking at that dont see a really nice effect unfortunately... The previous way was REALLY better and nicer to see...

Yes, it's a bug in 4.7. And I knew it before that fixing this one issue would surely create a new one. Just look at my post from Apr 14th here:

I'm not sure why Hollywood is currently blocking the opening of displays outside of the screen bounds but I think I made this for a reason so I'm somewhat reluctant to change this...

But then I changed my mind and fixed it but this opened the new issue you are now experiencing. Well, bottom line: Blame Jesper!

Hi Andreas

Right... send blame and money to the usual place

I can now disclose that sending in that error report was my revenge for spending a lot of time on (re)discovering a problem of case sensitivity with the RawGet() command I had forgotten about!... It was either that or sending in some martian war machines to get even!

Afterwards I seem to remember it was reported some time ago. But it took me most of a day to find out why my code flunked. A small example from Hollywood 4.6 (PC version):

Code: Select all

test={}

test.Object1="cheese and ham"
NPrint(GetType(RawGet(test,"object1"))) ;** result 3
NPrint(GetType(RawGet(test,"Object1"))) ;** result 0

test["Object2"]="carrots"
NPrint(GetType(RawGet(test,"object2"))) ;** result 0
NPrint(GetType(RawGet(test,"Object2"))) ;** result 3

Yes, tricky. With dot notation the variable name tests as all small characters. Using the explicit string format it keeps the capital in front.

But - all is forgiven because you provided update 4.7 free of charge. Thanks

regards Jesper
