If all your users are running very old versions of Internet Explorer then you can use the ExternalInterface API to call a JavaScript function which calls the Browser/DOM window.open() function. The third argument to window.open() should have "fullscreen" in the features list (i.e., ..., "fullscreen=yes,channelmode=yes", ...). This technique -may- even work on recent versions of IE, but I wouldn't rely on it work robustly (x-browser, or even x-version).
See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536651(VS.85).aspx For a more modern, standards-orient take on this, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DOM/Window.open This feature of windows.open() was fun and even potentially useful back in the old days of IE-only DHTML coding, but _not_ something I'd recommend these days. (If I remember correctly, in I.E. 5.0 you could create a kiosk/full-screen browser window, and then invoke window.resizeTo() on it; thereby creating an arbitrarily sized, *completely frameless* browser 'canvas' on a user's desktop. Just the thing for spoofing native OS dialog boxes and other social engineering. Good times, that!)
