Hi,

I have a specific issue where I need to use browser scripting to force Flash to enter fullscreen mode on a button click - I can't do it through the ActionScript.
Is there any way I can do this?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, it can not be done from javascript in the browser. The flash runtime requires that an actual mouse event occur within the flash object it's self, and will refuse any attempts to invoke fullscreen from external sources such as javascript, even if using it to trigger code within the flash object it's self which toggles fullscreen.

Alright then, good to know.
Thanks for the reply!

On that note, aside from popping up a new window, is there any way to bring a current window to fill the dimensions of the screen, then adjust the size of the flash to fill the window?

The idea here is that I need the Flash to fill the entire screen without having to restart the movie.
