Flex application 有一個特點就係可以完全跳出 web browser o既框架
Adobe AIR 當然係其中一種做法~
但係 Flash player 本身 support full screen mode
所以直接用 full screen mode 就比起 AIR 直接同快喇~!

要用 full screen mode 首先要改動 SWFObject 或者 Object tag
主要係加入 allowFullScreen 呢個 parameter
以 Flex Builder o既 HTML template 為例

SWFObject:

AC_FL_RunContent(
    "src", "${swf}",
    "width", "${width}",
    "height", "${height}",
    "align", "middle",
    "id", "${application}",
    "quality", "high",
    "bgcolor", "${bgcolor}",
    "name", "${application}",
    "allowScriptAccess","sameDomain",
    "type", "application/x-shockwave-flash",
    "pluginspage", "http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"
);

Object tag: (要留意加左兩個地方~!)

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
id="${application}" width="${width}" height="${height}"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab">
    <param name="movie" value="${swf}.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="${bgcolor}" />
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
    <embed src="${swf}.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="${bgcolor}"
        width="${width}" height="${height}" name="${application}" align="middle"
        play="true"
        loop="false"
        quality="high"
        allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
        allowFullScreen="true"
        type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
        pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
    </embed>
</object>

之後 within Flex application 就可以利用 stage.displayState 開動 full screen

stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;

如果想做到 toggle full screen effect 可以利用簡單既 if… else… statement

if (stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL)
{
    stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
}
else
{
    stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
}

但係要留意一點~ Full screen mode o既所有 text field 係唔可以 edit 架…
講真… 咁o既 limitation 可以話將個 application 廢左武功…
暫時都無解決辦法… Astro 都唔得…

Adobe Labs – Flash Player 10 Beta Release Notes
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/releasenotes.html

Limited Fullscreen Keyboard Access — In Flash Player 10, key events are supported for non-printing keys such as arrows, shift, enter, tab, space, etc. Limited access to the keyboard will allow fullScreen games and video controls with keyboard access in a secure way.

背後o既原因係擔心有人 develop 假既 OS login page…
都好無奈… 如果咁既話所有 web browser o既 full screen mode 都應該 disable text input…

Adobe Labs – Talk:Flash Player:9:Update:Full-Screen Mode
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Talk:Flash_Player:9:Update:Full-Screen_Mode#Why_suspend_key_input.3F

When considering this feature, several security concerns impacted our decisions for this first release. The reason keyboard input was blocked was to help prevent phishing attacks using Flash, where full-screen is used to simulate a log-in screen, someone else’s website, etc. This also impacted our decision to add the overlay to visually inform the user that something had changed and they were in a new state.
