Hi everyone,

I am working on a custom video player on Flex Builder 3 with AS3. I got the video to switch between fullscreen and normal view perfectly fine. I am setting stage.fullScreenSourceRect to display the fullscreen.

So as usual, when I am in fullscreen mode, when the video aspect ratio and the monitor resolution doesn’t match, I have some empty space at the top and bottom of the video screen. My problem is, no matter how much empty space I have, I want my video control bar to appear at the bottom of the screen just like YouTube videos. Right now, it appears at the bottom of the video screen. Basically, I guess I need that to be visible outside of the fullScreenSourceRect. Is that possible? Or am I using a wrong method?

Thank you very much in advance!
