Howto instruct the flash player to target more than one display at a time   
Hello all:

I have recently discovered that support for multiple displays was recently added to the flash player and to enable 
support, one needs to use the hmip-compmgr.so extension in the flash.conf as follows:

[code]
extension {
   dll = hmip-compmgr.so
   config {
      display = 1
   }
}
[/code]

Assuming a minimum of two device entries in display.conf, and io-display started with both devices specified at the 
command line what is the correct way to instruct the flash player to target both displays simulatenously? Should one 
added another display setting to the hmip-compmgr.so extension (ie. "display = 2")?

Thanks,

Gervais

I think the flash player can only target a single display (the Flash stage cannot be shared between displays or windows)
.

So the display setting is used specify which display to target to if there are more than one display available? Is this 
documented anywhere?

Yes, the value is just used as the parameter passed to eglGetDisplay.  Each
instance of the Flash player can only target a single display.

It's not currently documented anywhere, it has only been added fairly
recently.

You can always document it Gervais :)

Re: Howto instruct the flash player to target more than one display at a time   
Hello Roger:

If I want to run the same SWF on two displays I would then need to start two instances of the flash player each with 
their own flash.conf targeting the appropriate display? So long as I had two device entries in display.conf and started 
io-display with both devices specified, and also two display sections in winmgr.conf.

Finally is there no way to clone the display to another screen or is it possible to stretch the display on two screens?

Thank you,

Gervais

Yes, you would have to run two instances of the flash player.

I don't believe there is any way of cloning a display or stretching it
across two screens.  I've asked about this and I'll let you know if I'm
wrong but I'd be very surprised.

Note that the two displays could have different pixel depths/color
formats (making stretching/sharing of a single surface difficult).
