[Laszlo-dev] LPP-8107 fullscreen, some questions

[Raju Bitter]

Thanks, Max. It's working for SW9 now, I just needed a place to put  
the display state in a way that's easily accessible. Right now I chose  
to add a @displaystate attribute to canvas with the values of  
"fullScreen" and "normal" (take out of  
canvas.sprite.stage.displayState)? What do you think?

I don't know what the impact would be of making every SWF run with  
allowFullScreen="true", but I've there have been some problems with  
fullscreen mode:
  * iFrames are hidden when you go in fullscreen: http://drumbeatinsight.com/examples/htmlcomponent/fullscreen/HTMLFullScreenOpaque.html
  * Safari had a bug for some time with receiving mouse clicks and  
keyboard input, don't know what the status of that is.

I'll send out a first version of the fix for SWF9 only for review to  
you today. I stilll haven't figured out how the Flash properties are  
passed into the embed script, though.
