We have a blog set up and testing, and are able to embed from a few sites like youtube and vimeo, but they won't go fullscreen at all. With youtube some videos don't let you go fullscreen when embedded, but the ones that do, they have the button there for it and it doesn't work for us. Also, embedding videos from sites like Revision3.com and MTV don't work at all. For Revision3 I see a black frame and for MTV is the same.

We are using tinyMCE. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Searching on the forums I haven't been able to find anyone with the same problem of not being able to go fullscreen and being unable to embed some site videos properly.

I've not used TinyMCE to embed flash, but you need to make sure it is setting the allowfullscreen parameter to true. If this isn't done then the flash player will ignore any requests to go to full screen.

Try this page on the adobe website which gives more details about full screen playback.

Do you mean this in terms of the code I am embedding or in the code of the site in general? I'm not the one that will be dealing with this so forgive me for asking, but is it that for any time I am embedding a video I have to ensure I add in the extra code? (as the link is leading me to believe)

Will report back when everything is tried out.

Also, fullscreen is only supported in flash player 9 so check your embed tag on the page to make sure it's using fp9
