    I wont tell you, but I will tell you to ask first before throwing that screen up, or have a button that says "Launch fullscreen" or something to that effect. Theres nothing more annoying than a site taking over your screen like that without warning.

    thats a bit harsh -- each to his own - maybe its not for a web site but for a presentation or something ??
    anyway sometime that effect works ( yes but it MUST have a clear option for closing the window )

    try putting this on frame 1 ::

    fscommand("fullscreen","true");

    fscommand("fullscreen","true");

    works for the stand alone player. Not in html. Its not hard to view source and see how its done.

    What I'd suggest is search the forums! search for 'javascript full screen' in 'subject only' of the advance search.

    You'll get your wish, no worries!

    check out the tutes and movies sections as well. there are plenty of examples and tutorials that deal with javascript. also, here is a link to a set of links by an fk-er/WHer who has helped me more than a few times. there area lot of links to threads about JS so you should find what you need here: http://66.70.72.50/forums/showthread.php?threadid=63443

    happy flashing
