Keeping Flash video fullscreen on dual-monitor set up?

Hi all,

I have a dual monitor set-up and watch video on one screen and would love to be able to carry on surfing/working on the second monitor while have that flash video remaining full screen - but obviously as soon as I start typing or clicking the video leave the full screen format.

I have search the forum and web without success so any idea or suggestion would be appreciated,

Regards,

What window manager are you using? Fullscreen Flash works fine as described on my xmonad setup.

I have the same issue with xfwm4 and nvidia twinview: the flash video/game/whatever will stay fullscreen on my second monitor until the browser window loses focus, e.g. I click on anything on my primary monitor.

Re: Keeping Flash video fullscreen on dual-monitor set up?

hello, is an answer has been found since ?i have seen on ubuntu forum a poor solution in zooming ctr + in firefox that do the job but why youtube or other flash video player has not an option to keep the fullscreen even if the window lost focus. a way to do it could be to make flash to believe that the focus has not changed, then to block the signal (dbus?) to the flash window named plugin-container. any idea to do that?
