[SWFObject] fullscreen

[Aran Rhee]

Tino.

My understanding (after playing around with the new functionality and
reading stuff on the labs wiki) is you can only initiate fullscreen mode
from within actionscript, so you can't ONLY use swfObject to get things
done. You do however need to add a new tag to the HTML to allow fullscreen
to happen at all (allowFullScreen=true):

So in swfObject, so would add a line:

so.addParam("allowFullScreen", "true");


I suppose you could use external interface etc tio invoke the full screen
functions from the browser, but I haven't played with that idea yet...


Eg AS functions:

// functions to enter and leave full screen mode
function goFullScreen()
{
   Stage.displayState = "fullScreen";
}
function exitFullScreen() 
{
   Stage.displayState = "normal";
}
