Can I have control Quicktime to play full screen?

Question

My QT player will allow me to choose a full-screen mode when
I play movie clips. Is there a lingo method to make a QT movie
scale to full screen like this?

Hi
Following Robs answer. I had been using Mpeg advance script
(below) to force a video to go full screen. This worked great with
MX however the effect seems to have changed with MX04.
It now leaves a small gap at the bottom of the screen hiding
the in built QT controls - Any ideas how to remedy this.
Mpeg Advance Behaviour below (used in combination with Mpeg
Advance Target behaviour)
-- Mpeg Advance Xtra Full Screen behavior

property pFullScreenAtStart
property pFullScreenOnClick
property pIsFullScreen
property pOriginalStageRect
property pOriginalSpriteRect
on mouseUp me
if pFullScreenOnClick then
me.toggleFullScreen()
end if
end
on beginSprite me
if pFullScreenAtStart then
me.toggleFullScreen()
end if
end
on toggleFullScreen me
if not pIsFullScreen then
pOriginalStageRect = (the stage).rect
pOriginalSpriteRect = sprite(me.spritenum).rect.duplicate()
(the stage).rect = the desktoprectlist[1]
sprite(me.spritenum).rect = the desktoprectlist[1]
pIsFullScreen = true
else
(the stage).rect = pOriginalStageRect
sprite(me.spritenum).rect = pOriginalSpriteRect
updatestage
--force the stage to redraw, necessary in MacOS Classic
the stagecolor = the stagecolor
updatestage
pIsFullScreen = false
end if
end
on endsprite me
if pIsFullScreen then
me.toggleFullScreen()
end if
end
on getPropertyDescriptionList
set description = [:]
addprop description, #pFullScreenAtStart, [#default: false,
#format:#boolean, #comment: "Enable full screen at beginsprite:"]
addprop description, #pFullScreenOnClick, [#default: true ,
#format:#boolean, #comment: "Toggle full screen on click:"]
return description
end
on getBehaviorDescription me
return "Drag to video sprite to enable it to resize the
stage and play in full screen mode." & RETURN &
"PARAMETERS:" & RETURN & "• Enable full screen at
beginsprite - When enabled the movie will go in full screen mode as
soon as the video sprite is initialized" & RETURN &
"• Toggle full screen on click - Determines if full screen
mode will be enabled and disabled when the user clicks on the video
sprite."
