How do I add a full-screen button to mp4 videos?

I am making a multi-screen HTML 5 help project. We want to add videos. Right now the videos are mp4, but really we could convert them to anything. I want the videos to appear on the page at a nice small specified size. That I can do. However, I want the user to be able to expand the video to a boarderless full-screen size, similar to Youtube videos. I can't find any option to add a full-screen button to the video player. Can it be done in Robohelp? Do I have to buy an external video player?
Thanks.

Despite the similarity in names, Java and JavaScript are separate languages. For embedding Flash players or controls in web pages, you would be using JavaScript.

How do i add a Full Screen Button?

Hi guys,
I have used Quicklime X - File > Save for Web option to upload a video to my web site.
This gave me a Java Script player and code to embed into my site, i have all the files running local on my server and the videos works well.
My problem is that there is no full screen button on this player...
Dose anyone know where i could find some code to add a full screen button to this player?
I cant imagine it being to hard... but my knowledge of java is very limited.
Thanks for your help
Alex

How do I code a full screen button?

I need to code a full screen button for a SWF. I've tried a few ways but I can't get it to work.
Here's my Action Script:
function goFullScreen():void
    if (stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL)
    stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
    else
    stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
    fsb.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _handleClick)
    function _handleClick(event:MouseEvent):void
    goFullScreen();
Here's my html:
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
<param name="allowFullScreenInteractive" value="true" />
Any help with this would be greatly appriciated. I've tried online tutorials and code snippets but none of them work. It's only a few lines of code but I can't seem to get this feature to work.
Thanks,
David

IOS6... How do I see the full screen when watching youtube videos and second the map quality is very poor, foggy most of the time and images overlap to each other... Can I restore to IOS6 if these problems can not be solved?

I just upgraded to IOS6 and I have some difficulties that I never had on IOS5:
How can a see the full screen when watching youtube. Address bar is always in view.
Maps are foggy and some images overlap to eachother.
If these problems can not be solved, how do I downgrade back to IOS5?
Regards,
Luis

No, there is no legitimate way to downgrade iOS to an earlier version.
Be patient, Apple will eventually get around to fixing the "bugs" in iOS 6.

How do I make a Full screen button in inDesign for interactive PDF?

I posted this question in the inDesign forum and someone told me to post it in the Acrobat forums.
I would like to make a button in inDesign to give users the option to view a PDF at Full Screen. Much like the button the inDesign Magazine PDFs have.
Thank you for any help!
Best,
John

How do I add a Acrobat button to my inDesign button? I created a button in inDesign with a rollover feature and I want to preserve this feature in Acrobat. Can I apply some type of "invisble" button in Acrobat with a Acrobat JavaScript action?
Thank you!

Full screen button in MS Word for Mac 2011?

Does anyone know how to add the full screen button (two diagonal arrows in the top right hand corner of most apps) to MS Word for Mac 2011? I don't want to use full screen mode. I just want to get Word to fill the screen without manual adjustment.

I recently had my hard drive replaced and had to reinstall Microsoft 2011. I know for a fact that I had the diagonal arrows before and now they are gone. I have searched high and low on how to get them back on with no luck.

Full Screen Button in Captivate Player?

I'm adding captivate demos into my RoboHelp 8 project and was
wondering if one could add a Full Screen button to the captivate
player to enable the same functionality that is now available when
adding Captivate movies to PDFs.
Thanks!

Welcome to our community, Clay
There is no functionality like that that I'm aware of. At
least not directly in Captivate or in RoboHelp. Sorry.
But a thought does spark here. I suppose you might try
creating the Captivate inside the PDF. Then drop the PDF into
RoboHelp. Maybe that would provide what you are looking for.
Cheers... Rick

How do I make full screen button for interactive PDF

I know in Acrobat I can set the PDF to open in full screen mode. I want the PDF to open in normal view. There will be a full screen button. Click once and the PDF expands to full screen. Click again and the PDF reverts to normal size.
I wasn't sure where to post this but figured this is the place to start. Any advice on how to do this appreciated.
Here's a movie of a PDF that has the feature I'm seeking:
Full Screen Normal Screen button
Was testing the link and I see you need QT Pro to download. Here's a zip archive of the same movie for download.
Movie Download

The client (a woman's club) indicated that about half the women found the full screen annoying and the other half found normal view annoying. So I made it an option. Also, most PDFs I receive such as ID magazine have the option to view normal or full.
One thing I haven't figured out is how to get the page you're on to be highlighted. So if you go to page 5 in PDF, I would want the button for 5 to be highlighted in red. I ended up using page numbers but would like to be a bit more streamlined.
I received a PDF the other day and at the top when the page numbers and left/right arrows are, the page numbers read
FC, IFC, 1, 2, etc.,
IBC, BC. I thought that was pretty cool. I imagine it has something to do with pagination in ID. Have to see if I can figure that out.

I am trying to add a full screen mode button for non scalable pubished video in captivate 7

I am trying to add a full screen mode button for non scalable pubished video in captivate 7. For captivate 6 I used a widget from CPguru but that is not compatible with captivate 7.

Hello,
We have tried the Fullscreen widget from CPguru.
It seems to be working fine at our end.
Could you please try using the widget in a new project.
It could be specific to the project you have created. If possible, share the cptx file with us for better investigation.
Share the file (at https://workspaces.acrobat.com) and send it to [email protected]
Thanks,

Adding full screen button to DW Flash video?

When I finish a project, I take the video out of Apple Compressor as a .flv file. I then take this and drag it into an HTML file in DreamWeaver. This brings up the "Insert FLV" window, where I can choose some controls, set auto play, etc. None of the preset controls has a "full screen" button. I'm looking for a way to add this functionality to our web site. Are there either 1) other controls templates that I can download that have this built in or 2) an easy way to add full screen fuctionality to that already existing template? Bear in mind I know little about using the Flash program itself, but I have and I will if I need to manually edit something. Ideally, there would be just some other template that I can download to do this kind of thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Carl

Thanks for the reply.
I've already thought of YouTube, but our organization's filter occasionally blocks YouTube content, therefore it's unreliable for us to use for our internal viewers (we are a school district)
Your Option 2 doesn't work for us because we don't want to open and use Flash each time we embed something. Our workflow is quick now because it comes right from compressor and goes right to DreamWeaver. The ONLY drawback is that we can't make it full screen, which is what I"m trying to rectify. I don't want to add another program/step into the mix here.
Ideally, the solution to this would be a place I can download a "plugin" template for Dreamweaver to add more options to the drop down list when I add the flv to the web page, that would of course include a full screen button. The other option would be a resource I can use to figure out how to modify the existing Flash settings to use Flash to make a full screen button on that.
Ideas?
Thanks

Why No Picture When Full Screen Button Is Pressed?

When I open up IPhoto all the thumbnails load OK. Yesterday I tried to show my grandson some of his younger pictures taken 3 years ago by hitting the Full Screen button. What we saw was a dotted frame with an exclamation mark inside. To my dismay many of my older pictures display the same thing. How do I solve this problem?

If you deleted pictures then you moved and altered things. Then rebuilding won't work.
You'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Remember: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
You do everything in the iPhoto Window - there is simply never a need to do anything in the iPhoto Library Folder. Ever.
To delete pics: in the iPhoto Window put them in the iPhoto trash and then go iPhoto Menu -> Empty Trash. This removes pics from the Library and the HD.

How do I switch to full screen when watcing videos on Yahoo plus7

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S2 4G. The full screen button as well as pause, volume etc, doesn't work! It works when using the Opera Mobile Web browser, so why not with Mozilla? Any suggestions?

I am one of the individuals who use a third-party app to tether internet connection from my phone for my tablet. When using the stock browser, i have no problems, but when i try to use firefox, all the is displayed is an "Offline Mode" screen. This all would not be a problem except for the fact that a bunch of my bookmarks are on Firefox. So how do i switch settings for the pade to be "Online vs. Offline"???

How can I create a full-screen view of Keynote slide in Snow Leopard?

How can I create a full-screen view of my Keynote slides in Snow Leopard?
I'm going to be importing into ScreenFlow to create a video.
Thank you!!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Do you want static screen captures or motion video of slides as titles, bullet points, and the like are presented?
Run the Keynote slide presentation in full-screen mode, then...
Static full-screen captures - use Command+Shift+3.
Static partial-screen captures - use Command+Shift+4 and use cursor to select the area of the screen to capture.
If you want motion video as builds occur, why not use Keynote's built-in Share, Export function?
(I'm on iLife '09.)
Also understand that the default slide format for Keynote is 1024x768, not full-screen MacBook 1280x800 screen size, so you'll have wide black borders unless you change the default size or crop the finished screen captures.

How can I exit from full-screen View?

On the View menu, I clicked "Full screen View", but then I couldn't find any way back to normal view. I had to Force-Quit Firefox to escape.
How do you exit from Full Screen View?
(I tried Esc, Ctrl-C, and many other key combinations)

Try F11.
