Let’s go Full Screen with our Flex apps. Thanks to the new Flash Player beta it
is so easy to do.
The following is a very simple sample of going full screen. The only key point to
this is that it must be something that is triggered by user interaction.
YOU CAN NOT FORCE A USER INTO FULL SCREEN MODE.
ALSO, REMEMBER THAT THE KEYBOARD ENTRIES ARE NOT ALLOWED WHILE IN FULL SCREEN MODE.
Thanks to ohwhen for pointing this out.

You must also set the allowFullScreen value in the html to true:
1 | <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> |
