Fullscreen Flash

I’ve been seeing a trend lately with Flash going full screen. Not only is it going to the edge of the browser, it is taking over the screen regardless of browser. This has been made possible since the arrival of Flash Player 9.

While this is by far the fastest way I’ve seen to make a Flash swf full screen, there are some limitations. You can only enter full screen mode with a mouse click, you can’t use any Keys when in full screen and in a web browser, and a notification will always display for a second then fade out.

To be up and running, you only need one thing in your HTML, an extra param in the object and/or embed tag; allowFullscreen = true.

The actionscript 2.0 required to go full screen is Stage[”displayState”] = “fullScreen”; and to go back Stage[”displayState”] = “normal”;

    I’ve tested this on my Athlon XP with Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2, and Safari 3. While I find Safari fast for some things, getting control of my cursor once I enter full screen mode takes a bit of time - an annoying amount of time.

    In all cases, full screen mode has worked, and pressing the esc key immediately puts the browser back to normal mode.
