FullScreen in Web Browser

Hey Guys,

Is it at all possible to have a user hit a webpage that will then open a .swf fullscreen? The .swf will still need to be able to talk with the PHP backend though.

I’m aware of the whole “popups” are bad web karma, but for this purpose the user is expecting and wants it to popup.

Or is my best option to use Javascript to peel away all the address bar, footer bar, back, forward buttons etc and have the swf embedded in the webpage?

I’m using Flash CS3 with AS3.0.

Thanks!
