Flash and Fullscreen [Solved]

[chickpea]

So I have the latest flash installed and it works fine. However, I know that the newest flash supports "fullscreen" mode. As I am unfamiliar with how flash actually works behind the scenes I have a few questions about this.

I subscribe to a portuguese language website "Globo" (http://www.globo.com). Globo recently changed their problematic video rendering over to flash video which is a VAST improvement for those viewing Globo on a linux box. However, as the videos are generally telenovelas (hey think Sopranos not crappy mexican melodrama) I would like to view them in fullscreeen mode, instead of the tiny little box that flashplayer gives me. So, how do I enable fullscreen mode using webbased flash player 9? Is there a secret hotkey? Or, as I suspect is the case, does the site dev need to enable fullscreen mode via the site coding? Such that, if the website wants you to see the videos in fullscreen mode, they would provide you with a little "fullscreen" button, but if you don't see any little buttons, you are SOL.

Thanks.

as far as I know - the option is there on the bottom if it allows it. Not all flash videos allow it, when it does it should appear on the bottom - a button to click

bummer, that means I'm SOL. Thought so, thanks Wolfden.

Hi chickpea, the fullscreen feature in Globo Videos will be implemented in the next release. That should be up in the next weeks.

I'm glad you enjoyed the new flash version. Many more new stuff comming.
