Flash Video Player - Add a Full Screen Option

I want to add a button to my custom Flash Video Player that will make the video blow up full screen. I've seen this done with the YouTube and other Flash Video Player websites. Does anyone know the code how to do this?

PS - I'm using this code for my video player:

code:

---

// NetConnection setup

var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();

nc.connect(null);



// NetStream setup

var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);



// attaching NetStream

video.attachVideo(ns);



// playing external flv

ns.play("myflv.flv");

Im having the same problem doing exactly the same thing. Iv asked so many people about this, but its seems to be a secret of some sort. Did you ever get this problem fixed?

No luck yet. If I find anything, I'll post it here. Please do the same.

Im looking into it as we speak, as soon as i find something that works i will post here...

Here you go.

Code:

---

maximizeButton.onRelease = function() {
        Stage.displayState = Stage.displayState == "normal" ? "fullScreen" : "normal";
}

---

replace maximizeButton with the name of your button's instance.

You also have to include

Code:

---

<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">

---

and

Code:

---

allowFullScreen="true"

---

in the embed tag.

Im not 100% with you on this one?

Do I attach the following code top the button?

maximizeButton.onRelease = function() {
Stage.displayState = Stage.displayState == "normal" ? "fullScreen" : "normal";
}

And where is the following code inserted?
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">

Thanx for you help on this matter...

maximizeButton.onRelease = function() {
Stage.displayState = Stage.displayState == "normal" ? "fullScreen" : "normal";
}
is the actionscript that you use for your button, the <pram name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> you add to the html for embedding the .swf, hope this helps.

Im getting the following error:

There is no property with the name 'displayState'.

Whats this about?

hmm, did you change the name of the button from maximizeButton to the name of your button?

I changed the name of the button to maximizeButton

Stage.displayState = Stage.displayState == "normal" ? "fullScreen" : "normal";

did you give the button an instance name of maximizeButton?

yeah

hmm, I'm not sure then... maybe its a Flash 8 problem since I tested the code in Flash CS3 (9), its Actionscript 2 code though so I dunno lol.

did you put allowFullScreen="true" in the <embed> tag for your swf? you need both the <pram name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> and the allowFullScreen="true" in the <embed> tag.

This is what I use

Code:

---

<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','640','height','512',"allowFullScreen", "true",'title','Video Player','src','newplayer','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','newplayer' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="640" height="512" title="Video Player">
    <param name="movie" value="newplayer.swf" >
    <param name="quality" value="high">
    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
    <embed src="newplayer.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="512" allowFullScreen="true"></embed>
  </object></noscript>

where newplayer.swf is the name of your .swf
And change the width and height to your .swf's dimensions.

lighthugger - how did you fix your problem? I also get the error...

There is no property with the name 'displayState'.



thanks a lot!

Was there any resolution to the displayState error? Thanks!

Would you guys know a way to have an auto-exit from full screen, once the movie is done?

You could try using my FLV player, it supports fullscreen:

http://www.osflv.com

Not sure the code to add it to yours, since mine uses the FLV playback component.

Try This:

maximizeButton.onRelease = function() {
Stage["displayState"] = Stage["displayState"] == "normal" ? "fullScreen" : "normal";
}

I have a script that provided by adobe (comes with Flash media service>
I want to add this button to existing player

There are 4 files in the folder

1. livetest.as
2. livetest.fla
3. livetest.swf
4. livetest.html

I attach everything to http://www.mediafire.com/?y0ourz4jjty
File is more than 300 Kb (570 KB)


Can some one tell me how to add the fullscreen button to the player.

Thank you very much.

any help
