    15 Jan: FullScreen and wMode

    posted by: martijn, at 15 January 2007 8:29 GMT+1, 7 January 2008 22:39 GMT+1

    I'm still working on my Flex FLV Player for the Repent website. One of the main features will be the fullscreen option. Because the player has rounded corners I used wMode to place the swf in the page.
    I couldn't get fullscreen to work when it was embeded in the website but in the test fase it worked. After a lot of research through google I still couldn't get a solution. So I blamed SWFObject for the failure and found the solution when disabling wMode by accident when I was reimplenting SWFObject.

    Conclusion: FullScreen and wMode together will break FullScreen.

      == WMODE="TRANSPARENT" WORK AROUND ==After days of research and testing a work around has been found to keep wmode as transparent and redraw the swf when exiting fullScreen mode.Set the swf inside a div and apply the following javascript function to that div: <script language="Javascript"> function refreshvideo() {     var vidDivBorder = document.getElementById('vidDiv').style.border;         if(vidDivBorder == '0px solid rgb(0, 0, 0)'){             document.getElementById('vidDiv').style.border = "0px solid rgb(255, 0, 255)";         }         else{         document.getElementById('vidDiv').style.border = "0px solid rgb(0, 0, 0)";         } } </script> Then call that function via Flash when exiting fullScreen:ExternalInterface.call('refreshvideo');The change in border color causes the flash to reappear consistently.This has been tested on Window$ and Mac in IE 6/7, FireFox 2, and Safari.
