Hey guys, so OK, I'm researching fullscreen mode today to try to
identify a bug in our project. Basically, its the same old story that
going to full screen triggers a security error (only in IE).
Doing some research, I discover that its probably due to wmode=opaque in
our object/embed tag. But then I see that supposedly they fixed this in
the MovieStar build last year.
Anyway I'm using Flash 10 at this point - and IE still won't allow me to
go full screen using opaque wmode.
I was ready to call it a day - but I simplified the project some and
produced a test case with two pages. One using opaque, the other with a
default wmode of window. Testing this morning confirmed my suspicions
that IE didn't like opaque.
But then my boss, saw my test in the afternoon and saw that fullscreen
using opaque worked just fine! I was stumped. So I tried it out, and
fullscreen worked even though it didn't before, and I was really confused.
Then I copied out all the code into another page....test.html.
Fullscreen still worked. I changed opaque to transparent. Fullscreen
STOPPED working. Then I changed transparent on the same file to opaque
again - and it STILL didn't go full screen. I even viewed the source to
make sure my HTML was current.
Anyway, I'm stumped. Is it just that wmode+fullscreen is incredibly
flaky in IE regardless of player? Like it'll work one minute and not
the next? Its almost like it the flash player is caching the wmode from
previous sessions and making security decisions based on that.....
I'll be testing more thoroughly tomorrow, but if anybody could save me
some time, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks!
ben
