AS3 : How to make browser fullscreen?

[llyfre]

Hello,

I would like to use AS3 to automatically resize the browser to fullscreen so I can loose all the chrome. I have been experimenting a lot but have been unsuccessful.

Here's an example of the effect I would like: anasomnia.com
(there's a fullscreen icon in the bottom right of the browser to trigger the fullscreen)

I have tried this code, however I ran into trouble:

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,myFunction);
function myFunction(event:Event) {
    stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
}

What happens is that when I test the file in flash CS5.5, the swf navigates fine, but no fullscreen effect occurs. When I export to Flash player 10.2, the file goes fullscreen but then it sticks on the frame where the action is located and the playback begins to flicker. If I create a projector and comment out the fullscreen code, and instead use the fullscreen option under VIEW, the fullscreen kicks in but then the playback fails to work properly. When I take the swf into a browser window, it doesn't respond to the fullscreen code.

I read a bit about how the embed tag in HTML needs new fullscreen parameters, however this didn't seem to make any difference.

I know it's doable, just not how....

I have learned that in order to have the fullscreen take effect, a user must initiate it, so I have successfully created the effect by attaching it to a mouse event. The problem I am having now is that the playback head sticks in fullscreen mode after playing the mc on frame two where a timerFinished function is supposed to move the playback forward to frame 3. The navigation works perfectly without fullscreen mode, however the playback sticks in fullscreen whether in a browser, stand alone projector, or just playing back in flashplayer 10.2. Here's my code if it helps to get a better sense of things (each frame has a stop action associated with it also). I sure hope to hear back from someone on this.....

fullscreenMe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fullScreenIt); 

function fullScreenIt(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay('two');
stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;}

And here's the code on frame 2:

var titlesTimer = new Timer(11000,1); 
titlesTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, titlesTimerFinished);
titlesTimer.start();

function titlesTimerFinished(e:TimerEvent):void {
//trace("timer is finished");   
MovieClip(root).nextFrame();
}

var creditsSound:credits = new credits();
var creditsChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
creditsChannel = creditsSound.play();

And here's the code on frame 3:

import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

function alphaTween(mc,b,f,d) {
    var Alpha:Tween = new Tween(mc, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, b, f, d, true);
}

alphaTween(moon1,0,1,7);

var moonTimer = new Timer(1000,7);
moonTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, moonTimerFinished);
moonTimer.start();

function moonTimerFinished(e:TimerEvent):void {
//trace("timer is finished");   
MovieClip(root).nextFrame();

}
