Issues with FLVPlayback in Fullscreen

We have a Flash project where the end product will be a Windows Projector (exe) file since it will not be played online within a browser. I'd like to use the following actionscritpt:

stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;

However, I'm having issues with the FLVPlayback component. Initially it would load over all of the other content (just from being introduced in the first frame), which is not desired. Then I discovered:

fullScreenTakeOver=false;

This seems to supress the video until I want it to play.

However, now when the video ends, the entire screen goes black. Please note that this is not the case when I'm not in FULL_SCREEN.

If it helps, we're developing in Flash CS5.5 using Actionscript 3.

Hi klad,

Thanks for the reply. After the video ends, I have the playhead going to a blank frame where there is no video component on the stage. However, now that you say that, I'm wondering if that doesn't actually remove the component?

Note, I don't see the skin controls, but I'm wondering if that is what is causing the black screen. If so, do you have a code example for how to remove it?  Sorry, I'm new at some of this.

do you want to return from fullscreen when the video ends?

Actually, I don't want the video to be full screen at all. Our Art Director pitched an idea to the client where these doors zoom up and then reveal a video player, and then close when the video is finished. There are a couple of places where video content
is displayed, but the rest of the presentation is Flash animations, text with audio voice overs and 360s. I'm wanting the overall project to go from 1024 to 1920 (full screen) or fit whatever resolution the user has set. The issue is that if I use the stage.displayState action, it does something funky once I encounter a video. The rest of the project is fine in full_screen.
