Hi there

I am trying to make a fairly basic little standalone ap. A menu screen with Two buttons that play two seperate fullscreen FLV videos.  
AT the end of each video the menu screen reappears.

I can make this work fine in the swf or small standalone but As soon as i view full screen the video goes black.  
The wierd thing is if i let the video start before selecting fullscreen the video will then play in fullscreen.

I’m a newbie so im sure there is a much more efficient way to do this but for all it’s worth this is the code!!!  
I have the 2 videos on Frame 2 and 3

button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playvid);  
function playvid(event:MouseEvent) { gotoAndPlay(2); }  
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playvid2);  
function playvid2(event:MouseEvent) { gotoAndPlay(3); }  
stop()

any ideas…many thanks
