Understanding Full Screen Flash Video
by Carl Sundermann on Sep 22, 2008 at 7:50:23 pm

Hi all -

When I joined my company several years ago, I brought the knowledge of how to embed Windows Media video into a web site. About a two years ago, I changed from Windows Media to Flash video. That was a pretty easy process to learn, especially since we used Sorenson Squeeze, and that was able to spit out a FLV and a SWF at the same time (it used a pre-made template in Sorenson for the SWF) and I upload the two and I'm done. Well now I want to add a "fullscreen" button to my SWF file. I've been researching this for about a week now, and I'm finally ready to break down and just ask for help.

I understand a couple of things regarding Flash video. 1.) there are two components, the FLV and the SWF. FLV is the video, SWF contains the controls. 2) I can use the Flash program (we have the whole version as it's part of the creative suite) to put FLVs in a SWF. But I don't know how to do this. And, even if I did know how, I don't want to use this method because I want a simple way to add the SWF to the FLV (such as now when all we do is use Sorenson and it does it all for us) 3.) We have played with Dreamweaver's ability to make the swf file. That seems to work well - Just make the FLV in Sorenson, and then when you drag this into Dreamweaver, it will ask about settings and the 'skin' for the swf file. However, none of the skins have a full screen button.

So, my question here is really many questions in one. Hopefully you can see that I have a good foundation of understanding, but I just don't know where to go from here. Does anyone have a website(s) or books that I could get that would help solve this?

Remember.. The end goal is for this to be easy to fit into the work flow. Ideally, I'd be able to have Sorenson Squeeze (5) put the skin onto the FLV... It works great now... The only thing it lacks is that full screen button.

Thank you!
