FLVPlayback FullScreen mode

[soggybag]

I'm working on a video player using the FLVPlayback class. When in fullscreen mode the video takes over the entire screen and the controls are hidden. Is it possible to modify this so the controls remain visible?

Hey soggybag,
I've had similar problems. it can be remedied by using the flvplayback's fullScreenTakeover parameter. it is set to true by default, meaning it will take over the screen when flash goes fullscreen. set it to false to stop this from happening.

Thanks a lot that was a great help.

It seems with fullScreenTakeover set to false you need to scale your video and other content to fit the screen.

I used:

var swfStage:Stage = stage;
// Set stage scale mode
swfStage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
swfStage.align = StageAlign.TOP;

Which looks good when the movie scales up when entering Fullscreen mode. But the scale of elements on the stage get a little strange when exiting Fullscreen mode.
