Hello guys,

Don't yell at me. I hope this is not the same usual boring full-screen flash page solution :rambo:

Just to make things clear, I'd like you to understand that I am a first-time poster and have very limited knowledge of Flash. :angel: However, as a C# programmer, I always tend to look for solutions to major problems/dificulties around the web first and then asking in forums. As you may have guessed, I could not find the solution so here I am!

Well, for the sake of it:


I have seen this tutorial http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/fullscreen.htm
I have also seen this one http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/fullscreen.htm
I have been trying my stuff here: http://www.rodrigoresende.com/teste/master2.html
I have seen this wonderful example and wish I could be able to reproduce it http://www.sonyclassics.com/volver/main.html
I understand how to basically use the System.capabilities class and the Stage class

My questions are:


How can I get the browser visible internal area (the area my flash animation will be into, which is the resolution - toolbars - menus)?
How can I resize the background picture, just like it's done in the Volver website?
How did these guys from Klimate LLC get to do that? That's really nice!
Is it even possible? (okay... I'm not underestimating anyone... I'm stupid :-)

I'm sorry for the many questions, guys, but I'm the type of newbie you get by openning your doors to the web. Hehehe.

Cheers and thanks a lot in advance,

Congrats, kirupa people, for the excellent tutorials and articles
