Hi,

I'm making a video wall at the moment and in the wall is a videoplayer which is a separate swf loaded in. On the player is a fullscreen button however when it's clicked i only want the player to go fullscreen not the whole flash application....is this possible?

thanks in advance

Greg

There are two ways to limit what is displayed in full screen:

1. Specify a rectangle (part of the application as a Rectangle) - in this case you need to set scale mode to scale

2. Reposition and resize the objects that you want to be in full screen and, perhaps, hide the objects that you want to be invisible. In this case you need to set scalemode to noscale.

No1. has one drawback - it doesn't scale the area very gracefully and visuals become pixelated. No 2 is more controllable.

thanks for the responses guys. I'm surprised it's not possible to target an embedded swf to make fullscreen.....maybe in the future hey!

I'm going to try the manul resize option - seems to make most sense.

thanks

By default when you set the stageDisplayState to fullScreen, the flv player will automatilly take over the entire screen..
The option is fullScreenTakeOver which is by default set to true so when flash is made fullscreen the flvplayback will take over the screen.
I hope this is what you want.
If you want only the Flv will fill the area without altering the stageDisplayState then you need to write code to Resize the Player on the stage..
