We are just going to remove the option in the next player version.

Hey, effective solution :-D

So, if we want to offer our customers a way to view flash full screen,
is there any other way to do that ?

I'm guessing the answer is no, blame Adobe, or use HTML5, right ?

Well if you want then to be able to view flash fullscreen, there is a fullscreen button in the controlbar, which still works fine.

OK, but what if you don't display the control bar because your site uses custom controls? Is there a way to toggle using JavaScript to simulate clicking on the control bar full screen icon?

Sure, you can make a button on your page’s html, then called jwplayer().setFullscreen(); on it – http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/12540/javascript-api-reference

Note: This function will only work in HTML5 mode, due to Flash restrictions on setting full-screen mode..

any news on this flash thingy?
cant be so hard to fix the toggle fullscreen button, youtube makes it possible too..

This is a Flash security issue itself, not something we can work around.

Ok you might help me with that work around.. i enabled the controlbar in my slideshow (using jwplayer -> flash) to enable fullscreen again, but as always i got a new problem.
Now, after each new medie-file (video/audio/image), the controlbar shows up.. is there a possibility to only show it on mouseover, not after changing the clip?
i should be used in a shop windows and the controlbar somehow.. yeah.. sucks :-)

thanks in advanced!

Set the controlbar variable to over , and the controlbar.idlehide variable to true.
