Using the full-screen publish settings

The easiest way to make full-screen video work in Flash is to use the FLVPlayback skins that enable full-screen viewing and to let Flash write code in your HTML file to allow the page to make use of full-screen mode. Since you have already used an FLVPlayback component with a full-screen mode button, the final step of the lesson is to set the publish settings to use the Allow Full Screen template.

1.	With the lesson11_start.fla file still open in Flash, choose File > Publish Settings. On the Formats tab of the Publish Settings dialog box, make sure that the Flash and HTML options are selected. [View full size image]

4.	Test this project in your default browser by choosing File > Publish Preview > Default – (HTML).
5.	Your project should play in the browser the same way it did when you viewed it in the Flash testing environment. Now, however, when you click the full-screen button, the video file that is playing should take over the full screen. Press the Escape key to return to the normal view of the project.
