This is the behavior I see:
1) WORKS: Canvas resizes to full screen, debug window resizes with it
(if debug is enabled)
<canvas width="100%" height="100%"
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="fullscreen2.lzx.swf8.swf?lzproxied=false" width="100%" heig\
ht="100%">
<param name="movie" value="fullscreenexample/
fullscreen2.lzx.swf8.swf?lzproxied=false">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="scale" value="noscale">
<param name="salign" value="LT">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
<param name="menu" value="false"></object>
2) WORKS: Canvas resizes to full screen, debug window resizes with it
(if debug enabled)
<canvas width="100%" height="100%"
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="fullscreen2.lzx.swf8.swf?lzproxied=false" width="600" heig\
ht="600">
<param name="movie" value="fullscreenexample/
fullscreen2.lzx.swf8.swf?lzproxied=false">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="scale" value="noscale">
<param name="salign" value="LT">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
<param name="menu" value="false"></object>
3) WORKS: in normal mode at 800x800 pixel, going into full screen
without problem, debug window resizes automatically. The passed values
of 100%25 (URL encoded) for width and height have preference over the
canvas settings in LZX
<canvas width="600" height="600"
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="fullscreen2.lzx.swf8.swf?
lzproxied=false&width=100%25&height=100%25"\
width="800" height="800">
<param name="movie" value="fullscreenexample/
fullscreen2.lzx.swf8.swf?lzproxied=false">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="scale" value="noscale">
<param name="salign" value="LT">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
<param name="menu" value="false"></object>
4) PROBLEM: Reported values for canvas dimensions in normal display
mode: canvas.width=500, canvas.height=400, but area covered by Flash
movie is 800x800. In case the debug window is visible it's sized for
the 500x400 dimension, but can be visibly dragged in an area of about
800x600 pixels. Going into full screen canvas still reports 500x400
pixels, debug window can be dragged in a larger area (around 800x600)
<canvas width="100%" height="100%"
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="fullscreen2.lzx.swf8.swf?lzproxied=false&width=500&height=4\
00" width="800" height="800">
<param name="movie" value="fullscreenexample/
fullscreen2.lzx.swf8.swf?lzproxied=false">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="scale" value="noscale">
<param name="salign" value="LT">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
<param name="menu" value="false"></object>
5) PROBLEM: Application initially has dimension of 800x800, but
centering takes place based on the 600x600 values for canvas. oes into
full screen without any problems. The debug window resizes (if
visible) on maximizing, but seems to miss the minimize event and stays
large
<canvas width="600" height="600"
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="fullscreen2.lzx.swf8.swf?lzproxied=false" width="800" heigh\
t="800">
<param name="movie" value="fullscreenexample/
fullscreen2.lzx.swf8.swf?lzproxied=false">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="scale" value="noscale">
<param name="salign" value="LT">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
<param name="menu" value="false"></object>
Does this make the situation clearer? I did all this testing to make
sure everyone has the right understanding of how apps behave.

It seems full screen mode shows the application at the size
specified by the developer. If resizing is desired, percentage
values should be used for width/height - whether specified in the
query string, html embedding code, orcoming from the canvas.

Subject: Re: [Laszlo-dev] Query args width and height processed by
LaszloCanvas.lzs#construct()
Yes, I know that the LaszloCanvas code is looking for those args.
Isn't it like there are 4 sources for the width/height value?
1) canvas attributes
2) embedding code
3) query args for SWF file
4) default values 400/400, in case the query args contain an invalid
value
But what you are saying means: if a developer wants to use full screen
feature, he must take caution not pass any values for width and height
into the app at runtime, or full screen mode might not auto-adjust the
canvas size.

I don't know the history, but notice that the canvas is _looking_
for those params. It's not that query params override an
application var or setting (which could be a security issue). The
developer of the canvas specifically asks for these params.
The history of canvas size is long and tortured, and there are a lot
of crazy paths in the compiler to handle absolute vs. percentage
sizing. I am a big proponent for letting the size be dynamic, taken
from the browser or query args, rather than having to recompile your
app to resize it.

Perhaps we want a different behavior when fullscreen is on. It
should act much more like the default of 100% by 100%. Maybe the
part of canvas.construct() that registers for screen size
notifications should be refactored to a separate method so it can
be called when fullscreen is turned on...
