flash actionscript: This seems to be the holy grail of the flash videos. I searched google all
over, but can't find a solution....

I need to make my flv full screen. I saw youtube does it, and the flv truely
takes the entire fullscreen, and the video quality does not seem to degrade.

Does anybody know how to do it?

thanks in advance.

(I hear microsoft's Silverlight will have full screen support automatically,
but I hate micro$oft products. I need to do it in flash).

Depends on which version of Flash you're using...

Flash 9 has it built-in I do believe:

accessible with actionscript as well.

Otherwise, you can get very close to fullscreen in the confines of the browser
window with something like this link I do believe:
