Fullscreen FLV bug on PC Safari 3.0.1 on up?

Question

So for some bizarre reason the QA people at my office are
planning on halting the launch of a built video player - for the
.02 percent of the people that use Safari on the PC.
The issue is when in fullscreen, the scrub bar that i have
maintains it's length. So rather than having, say, a 25 pixel wide
scrub bar it just stretches as the video plays. Naturally this
becomes a problem since a user can't see where they are scrubbing.
I spent some time searching the web looking for answers
(including going through Adobe's forum, support, documentation,
etc) and so far there doesn't seem to be an answer. The funny thing
is that Safari on the PC isn't listed in the supported
browsers...but as anyone who's dealt with QA people knows, that
answer won't do.
The AS code for the scrub bar is standard:
function videoStatus() {
vPlayerHMC.vidPlayer.amountLoaded =
playFlvStream.bytesLoaded / playFlvStream.bytesTotal;
loader.loadbar._width = amountLoaded * 104.8;
loader.scrub._x = playFlvStream.time / duration * 104.8;
var scrubInterval;
loader.scrub.onPress = function() {
clearInterval(videoInterval);
scrubInterval = setInterval(scrubit,10);
this.startDrag(false,0,this._y,105,this._y);
loader.scrub.onRelease = loader.scrub.onReleaseOutside =
function() {
clearInterval(scrubInterval);
videoInterval = setInterval(videoStatus,100);
this.stopDrag();
function scrubit() {
playFlvStream.seek(Math.floor((loader.scrub._x / 108) *
duration));
and has worked on all other browsers and versions that we are
supporting the fullscreen mode.
I found a post on PixelMonster describing a similar bug -
however it listed the bug for AS3 (we're using 2) and a change in
the SWFObject param (wmode = opaque)....however we can't use that
since the wmode is preset.
Anyone else having a problem with it...or know of any
possible solution?
Thanks!

Answer 1

i guess you can. are you using one of the skins that has a
fullscreen button?
