How can I stop Flash from leaving full-screen mode when it loses focus due to a mouse-click in the o
- by therefromhere
On a multi-monitor system, if I'm viewing a full-screen video in Flash on one monitor, clicking the mouse on the other monitor causes Flash to leave full-screen mode and revert to normal size.
What's the easiest way of preventing this that works on my version of Flash?
My system is Flash 10 (10.0.12.36), in Firefox 3.5 on Windows Vista 64, but I think it affects all current versions.
This is very annoying behaviour, but unfortunately, according to this bug report response it seem to be a security feature, rather than a bug:
We understand that many users would
like fullscreen on one monitor and to
be able to interact with your OS on
another monitor. However, due to
security requirements, we require that
Flash and Browser must be the current
focus of your OS.
