full screen mode trouble

[oluc]

I have set my flash to full screen mode. It has a menu with several different flv movies. When I click on the flv it then goes full screen and I no longer see the custom buttons I created for it and at the end of the movie I have to hit the esc btn to get out of it. but when it is not on full screen i have it programmed to go back to the menu after the flv ends.

is there someone who has experience with this and could give me some direction please?

It could be a bug or it could be a user error problem.  Can you provide a link to demonstrate the problem?

Unfortunately I can not provide a link as they are not on the internet. I could provide the files possibly but they may be a bit chunky.

This is what happens... without full screen mode: video selection buttons slide onto screen, user clicks one of the buttons - buttons disappear and video comes on screen and plays. there is a play/paus btn and a stop btn which are custom btns and work well. there is also a go back to menu button which leads to the video selection btns. when the video is done playing it automatically goes back to the video selection screen.

This is what happens with full screen mode: video slection buttons slide onto screen, user clicks one of the buttons - buttons disappear and the video comes on screen - taking the whole screen. all of the buttons are hidden and not viewable/clickable. Then when the video ends its just a black screen and nothing happens. So I have to press esc to get out of full screen mode and then it is back at the video selection buttons screen.

try using, where myFlvPlayback is the instance name of your FLVPlayback control.

myFlvPlayback.fullScreenTakeOver = false;

Where and how do I use this string, please?

there's no string, but use when your flv component exists.
