Hi

I need to expand my flashmovie to fullscreen, so I foud this tutorial: [http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/08/07/creating-full-screen-flex-applications/](http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/08/07/creating-full-screen-flex-applications/)

But I can’t gett it to work.

I’ve tryed to write it i my own Flexfile, and I’ve tryed copy/paste, that’s the last section.

This is my code:
