Question

Full Screen movies do not work in Firefox

Hi All,

I am having a problem publishing Flash 8 movies full screen. They are fine in Internet Explorer. But Firefox crops the full screen so that you only see a portion of the full screen movie.

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.4, as well as version 2.0.0.6 on my laptop. Can't get full screen to work in Firefox most of the time, but occasionally it seems to work. Is this a Firefox problem, or Captivate problem?

An example, look at the full screen movie:

Thanks, Suzan

    It worked fine for me in Firefox 2.0.0.6 with Flash Player Plugin version 9.0.45.0 at a screen resolution of 1280x1024.

    Is your problem that the browser window refuses to display at full screen or is the Flash movie itself not showing at it's proper size? Knowing that would at least help us know where to look.

    Mmm.. Interesting... because I am using Firefox 2.0.0.4. I am also using Firefox 2.0.0.6 on my laptop like you are, and it seems to work fine. I guess it don't understand the technical details of why full screen will not work on Firefox. What I find interesting is that some of my full screen movies do work fine on 2.0.04. I wonder if it the Flash Version in which the full screen is published? I will try some further testing.

    I am concerned because there are likely many users of earlier Firefox versions, and I need to produce a full screen which will work no matter which Firefox Version you use.

    Thanks!
