Flash video fullscreen in IE and FF

yarano · 08-22-2009, 04:30 PM

Question, which I don't know even has an answer that I want, but anyway here it is.

I have dual monitor setup on my PC. I have had it forever and I love it. Another thing I love to do is watch flash videos either from youtube, or any other site. My question is when it comes to watching them full screen, either in IE or FF as well. Full screen works great, they open up fullscreen and I can watch em and have a happy day, BUT- I can't do anything on my other screen without the video cancelling out of fullscreen and continuing to play in the IE window. Is there any way, such as a setting or third party application, to keep a flash video full screen on my secondary monitor while I do something else on my primary. I'd love to watch videos and still be able to play WoW or surf a separate IE window while the video is fullscreen on my secondary monitor. Is there a way??

Thanks!

Maybe use a flash play app (instead of IE), feed it the URI for the file you want to watch (assuming the source site allows direct access to the file), and viewing the file in that manner.

WOuld obviously be a huge pain for 30 second videos, but for 45 minute videos this would be a viable alternative.

Not much of a solution I will admit, but since no one else has offered any advice...

Good luck!
