Fullscreen Flash from Browser

That sucks, you'd have to make a button based virtual keyboard lol

You could have the contact form maybe pop up as new window... Would still bring you out of fullscreen I'm afraid.

Virtual keyboard is the way to go really.

The goal was just to offer a little eye candy. In this case it is better to just let sleeping dogs lie.

This is just a wicked, wicked thing to be able to do.

Problem is, this seemingly is set up to work on the the presumption that the movie (you are displaying fullscreen) is the _root movie being played.

The way my videos are situated in the grand scheme of things, there are 3 levels.

Overall movie (called by the index.html file)
that calls another movie (videos page, an imported .SWF)
that calls another movie (which is the swf containing the actual video).

grandfather > father > child (where the video is)

I want to fullscreen the child, not the grandfather.

I put the code in the child (the SWF file where the video actually is) to "fullscreen" - and what happens - the overall grandfather index.swf file gets fullscreened (as expected I guess) - I want to be able to fullscreen just the video itself (which is technically the grandchild in the scheme of things)

Is this possible at all? I'm doubting it, :p but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Working example

go to my site click on "Saphire Videos" and then click on the button of that video to allow "fullscreen" (a little tv icon) and you'll see what happens.

Seems Like there was a way to set what part of the screen is used in fullscreen but I couldn't find it. As a matter of fact I'm sure of it as I did it once long time ago when flash 9 player was new. I don't have access to that computer at the moment (it was in the flooded part of my house, yes I live in the Atlanta Area)

Well that would be AWESOME if it would be technically possible to do so.

I'll keep tinkering as long as I know it CAN be done.

Do you know/remember if the code was issued in the grandchild (where the video is) or from the highest level movie (the index.swf file or the "_root" if you will)?

I tried

on(press)
{
_child.Stage.displayState = "fullScreen";
}

from the middle level (the video application that envokes the individual videos) but that didn't seem to work.

Before you go fullscreen!
stage.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle(0,0,320,240);

Doesn't seem to work. Given there are 3 levels,

level0 (overall index.swf file)
level1 (videos application)
level2 (where the video is itself)

I tried

(from level2)
on(press)
{
Stage.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle(0,0,360,270); //changed the dimensions to match my actual video size
Stage.displayState = "fullScreen";
}
Nothing happened

(from level1)
on(press)
{
_level2.Stage.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle(0,0,360,270);
_level2.Stage.displayState = "fullScreen";
}
Nothing happened

(from level1)
on(press)
{
_child.Stage.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle(0,0,360,270);
_child.Stage.displayState = "fullScreen";
}
Nothing happened

And for the heck of it (from level1) - maybe it would fullscreen the level1
on(press)
{
Stage.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle(0,0,360,270);
Stage.displayState = "fullScreen";
}
Same thing happened when I put that same code in the level2. The level0 fullscreened. I think THAT result hints that this isn't going to work.

I'll keep tinkering. But, please let me know if you ever find that code though someday. :)

Thanks for your help.
