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.

Todays popular websites use smart algorithms to determine what we want or might like. Google is famous for its mix and so is [...]
At the Next Web conference there was an overall urge for relevancy. You noticed it in presentations and startups. Unfortunately there weren’t many speakers that had exiting answers. In his presentation Robert Scoble made clear that for most new web applications ‘The first experience sucks‘. Why? This is inherent to how these new web applications work. The [...]
Since we started with the concept of EN we had a certain idea of what it would be like. Now we have the first working version the possibilities seem endless, but what is the killer application or function? What is it that gives new options to the things we do with news? In this post I’m [...]
EN.nl (and.nl) is a new project where we are experimenting with new media, users, technology and journalism. This project is an open project where the public process plays an extremely valuable part in designing and shaping the news website. The online news industry really changed over the last years. I think we’re at a point where [...]
