Last week I started experimenting with the full screen functionality in the new flash player. I build a simple player that plays YouTube and Google videos full screen.

The Flash full screen is real full sreen. Use the [esc]-button to leave full screen modus. The right mouse button gives a menu.

Note: You need Flashplayer 9,0,18,60 to run Full Screen. Download it here. The latest version of Flash 9 will do.

Not the right version of Flash, see how it looks.

December 2 Update:
Right now I’m building a videoplayer for the Volkskrant, a Dutch newspaper and website. It allows everyone with a website to embed Vk.tv videoreports and reviews made by editors.

This videoplayer has the option to jump to full screen by right-clicking the screen or by clicking the fullscreen icon in the lowerright corner. You only see the button if you have the appropriate version of Flash installed. If you click [deze video op je weblog] (this video on your blog) you can set your own size for embedding the video on your website.

Jonathan Glazer directs the new Sony commercial, to be released tomorrow. The enormous buzz, trailers and previews around the release of this ad is amazing. Almost like the release of a new blockbuster.

The ad launches at 8.35pm GMT Tuesday 17th October. The ad will also be available to view here in High Definition and will be accompanied by a fascinating 5 minute ‘behind the scenes’ documentary.
