Flash elements disappear in full screen mode

I was surprised to find that a button and a dropdown list disappeared when I went full screen on a Flash app. Turns out that if you use an FLVPlayerback component it forces everything else on screen to disappear if you go fullscreen. Nice feature unless you don't want that to happen.

To fix it:

myFlvPlayback.fullScreenTakeOver = false;


Thanks Adobe forums :-)

...which, according to Google Translate means: "The anguish of life, not have too little, but in too much luxury."

Great advice! Thanks 出遊
