Jit.window Fullscreen on projector

I'm quite new to Jitter and want to play a movie file out of my external output, as fullscreen and still be able to monitor stuff in the main window on my laptop. Its a mac book pro if that affects anything.

Cheers,
Josh

I have struggled with this in jitter too. I took the easy way out and switched all my visual work to a program called Touch Designer. I'd very much like jitter handle external monitors like isadora or touch designer. Perhaps there is but I am yet to find it.
Best,
Adam

eh... ?

move the jit.window to the external screen and give it the 'fullscreen 1' message?

or locate the coords of the external screen with jit.displays.
then calulate the center of it (x,y)
use 'pos x y' to put the jit.window on it .
do fullscreen 1

@adam this is very basic jitter knowlegde did you do some of the jitter tutorials ?

cheers MJ - yeah that was easy! I asked this before i had an external monitor to test it and noticed full screen in my laptop window wasn;t really fullscreen (apple bar still visible)

thank you.
