What I'm after--but I don't think it's possible--is a way to build a
JavaScript-powered button which, when clicked, makes the browser go
fullscreen-no-browser-chrome. While the main interactive content remained a
DHTML app. I thought it might be possible to use Flash's fullscreen
capabilities, but I realize now it isn't, for the reason you give. It's a
pity it isn't possible to go fullscreen-no-browser-chrome even if the user
wants to by clicking such a button (which doesn't exist).
Thanks, Michael, for your help and your comment on Slidvid. Here's an
article I wrote about Slidvid: http://netartery.vispo.com/?p=789

Hi Jim...
That's really impressive. Very nice work. If I'm understanding your
question correctly, you're asking if you can silently trigger Flash to go
full screen. The problem is that when you go full screen with Flash, the
only thing full screen is the Flash stage, not the browser. For the
browser to go full screen that's F11 on the keyboard. Hope I'm answering
that correctly for you.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Flash fullscreen in a JavaScript app?
Hi,
I've developed a JavaScript slideshow at
http://vispo.com/nio/pens/slideshow
I want a fullscreen button in it. No browser chrome whatsoever. None.
As you probably know, this is fully supported in Flash but not in
JavaScript. Which is a real annoyance. There's the fullscreen='yes' thing
as
a parameter in window.open, but this still results in some browser chrome.
Is it possible to insert a little Flash app in the HTML which, when
clicked,
causes the slideshow to go fullscreen while also permitting the user to
use
the JavaScript controls? Normally what would happen, I realize, is it goes
fullscreen and you have a fullscreen that has nothing on it but the
fullscreen button. Which of course is not what I'm after.
