Put the function in your HTML page. Then use getURL with the javascript function inside.
There we go…

on (release) {
fscommand(“fullscreen”, “true”);
}
and if you want to make a exit buton just type in this code
on (release) {
fscommand(“quit”);
}
Stay Cool
P.S. i didn’t mean to lecture you i just dont want to see people starting an argument over something stupid, i know alot of people here hate fs but hey it all depends what and how you use it, besides its your website you can do whatever you want thats why i always post regardless if you use it or not but just so that you know how to use it

Hey grim, that code is only for the standalone player. It doesn’t work for websites.

Full screens are evil!
Here is the history of full screens:
x rated sites were finding that the on exit pop url function did not have enough punch to keep the ‘accidental’ visitor long enough to download x rated gifs to draw the viewer in, so they created full screen where it took the time to download the full site.
The guy who started this also created the disturbingly, slithery and useless Pop- under window function that is only used for ads and x rated sites.
Think about it, when is it appropriate to use a pop-under window?
Why do you need to go full screen on a website?
No wonder you got defensive.
You are working for the devil.

Rynoe, stop trying to cause trouble.
Chupa directly stated that the project was not for her, it was for someone else and she was just trying to help them out.

Take care of your chupa friend.
She’s wandering off into the woods…
and should be careful.
