If I understand correctly, you want users to click on a link that then opens
up a new window that is fullscreen and closes the previous window that is
now behind.
This is what we do:
<script language="Javascript">
function openWindow()
{
window.open("**URL**","NewWindow","width="+screen.width+",height="+screen.he
ight+",left = 0,top =
0,fullscreen=yes,navigationbar=no,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,stat
us=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no");
closeWindow();
}
function closeWindow()
{
window.open('','_parent','');
window.opener = window;
window.close();
}
</script>
After playing around with many options, this code seems to work well for us.
Remember, fullscreen is not really fullscreen anymore. You still have some
browser chrome left behind and in IE 7 there's a bar left behind in
fullscreen that you can't remove by default. So unless you plan to scale
your content, adjust the area size of your file accordingly.

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] full screen window
I cant afford two windows as the window which I have to open will get
opened by a link on client's site which will just launch this window and
so if I use another window, it'll make two popups opening using a single
link which is not desired.
I got this code on net:
self.moveTo(0,0);
self.resizeTo(screen.width,screen.height);
But this doesn't hide the standard buttons, address and status bar.

Can't be done AFAIK. I'm pretty sure you have to launch a new window
(which
is a good thing, as no one wants browsers to be able to resize
themselves to
fullscreen)
