YouTube full screen problem

Hello,

We are attempting to integrate the YouTube functionality inside a flash website. Since the container itself is in Flash and not traditional HTML, the full screen of YouTube turns the entire parent SWF to go full screen.

The source can be downloaded from:
http://202.131.103.236/YouTube_Problem/YouTube_Problem.zip

Kindly unzip and run bt.html. You may require to host it since it is accessing an external URL of youtube video. Once the video is loaded, pressing the full screen from YouTube player causes the entire SWF to go full screen.

We attempated using focusrect to fullscreen only a portion but that results into a very poor quality of video while full screen, both normal and HD version.

Any idea how to achieve best quality on full screen in this scenario with only the video in full screen and not the whole screen?

Inputs and suggestions are much appreciated.

Hi rascalpants,

Thanks for chipping in. However, the suggested steps are difficult to implement in our case. It is a mandate for us to use native YouTube buttons for full screen and other controls. So, m not sure if the suggested solution can be achieved with this mandate being there.

you should be able to...  if the player is a standalone that is in a Div over top of your other Flash, then you are golden...  

what would be the restrictions that you see?  

I believe using an external player is the only option you have, because you can't target movieclips in full screen yet.
