Show Flash movie full screen in browser?

[Adam Albright]

Hi, I'm new to Flash and known next to nothing about scripting either
in Flash or in Java Script for a web page.

What I'd like to do is as follows:

1. Have a fully Flash enabled site. In other words the WHOLE web page
is taken up by the Flash movie, with various scrollable tex boxes,
etc., showing what I want. You see several sites offering Flash
templates and there's a option to go full screen with the demo of
the template playing in a new browser window shown full screen.
I LOVE that effect! I know, not everyone does, I do.

2. Once the Flash files are preloaded with a typical preloader
(I don't care what size the flash is at this point) I would
like to have the Flash play in FULL SCREEN mode based on the
browser's screen resolution. ie. If the user has his browser set
to 800x600 then the Flash movie fills the screen at that size. If
he has a 1024x768 resolution it would fill to that size and so on,
all automatically. I know that's easy enough with Java scripting,
for HTML,but I'm stumped doing it with Flash!

3. Finally I'd like a button to exit to drop back, since lots of
people get stuck if the whole screen is filled and they no longer
have normal browser controls and don't know to use the right mouse
key. I assume you could just throw in a get URL statement that
would jump to an none full screen page.

Anyway thanks for reading, would be greateful if anyone can help me
out on this.

Adam:
2.In version 5, if you put in your first frame (any layer) the following:

fscommand("fullscreen", "true");

you will get what you want.
3. The button i what I would do.

I am not sure how the same would work in next versions but I assume the
same. I just opened my v.5 .fla with MX and it showed same action as in 2.
