Hi,
I was wondering if there is a command than when a button is pressed, allow the flash file to go full screen. I am talking for a website here, say I have my .swf in a .htm file. But I press a button on the .swf, I want it to go full screen, no stretch, just use plain background of my htm file and center the flash. To be like a projector full screen, without the navigator menus... is that possible, if so how? big thanks!
 
What do you mean by... without the navigator menus?

You mean the browser's toolbar & such?

Through javascript you can force the window to resize to fullscreen, but that won't get rid of the toolbar & such.
You'd need to open a fullscreen popup for that, getting rid of some of the browser's features.

Furthermore a true full "naked" fullscreen (like a projector file) with no borders whatsoever, is to my knowledge, only possible with IE. Most other browsers will retain some outside borders, and closing buttons.

It's not even possible with IE anymore. XP service pack 2 prevents it.
 
Ah ok, well thanks for your replies guys
