How does YouTube make video Full Screen?

[jlfximedia]

Hey Peeps, how does youTube make the flash object jump to full screen without pausing the stream? I need this kind of functionality and would like to know.

someButton.onPress=function() {
if (Stage["displayState"] == "normal") {

Stage["displayState"] = "fullScreen";
} else {

Stage["displayState"] = "normal";
}
}

I'd love to know how they scale a video for fullscren use. I've downloaded a youtube video, and am making a fullscreen player for it... but when I do that it becomes very pixelated, whereas the YouTube fullscreen function smoothes the video very nicely...

[Paul Ferrie]

Most probably youtube is using a high res video for the fullscreen and low res for standard.
When you scale images or video beyond it's intended size thats what cause's the pixelated effect.

I think what you really need is a youtube-like proper fullscreen vid so I got this to work..

and heres the sourcecode

(also as attachment)

the fullscreen part is nothing special really.. one line of script on a button

on (release) {
Stage.displayState = "fullScreen";
}

but you also need to edit the html file and set the allowFullScreen parameter from false to true, it is there just set it to true (don't write it twice like I did :) )
Also make sure your file does'nt get overwritten.. go to publish settings and uncheck html

so either
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
...
<embed src="example.swf" allowFullScreen="true" ... >

or
AC_FL_RunContent( ... "allowFullScreen", "true", ... )

this is also in flash CS3 help :)

peace
