Is there a way to force the viewer to be full-screen? I do not want the user to be able to resize the viewer as this causes a very cluttered look. I'd like to leave the user able to fully minimize the page though.

Any help would be appreciated!

Ashley,

   As the Viewer is just a swf playing in the Flash Player plugin in the browser you would have to have control over the browser to prevent browser resizing. I am not sure that this is even possible.

Thanks Robert! That's good to know. I hoped there may be some way to force the window to be full screen, but oh well. Thanks again!

Ashley,

   Just to be sure that I am not misunderstanding you. You can cause Flash Player to go full screen (i.e. now browser toolbars, statusbars, etc). You can see what I am talking about by going to my site and clicking the 7th icon in the header:

No, that's not what I was looking for. Pretty cool capability though!

Not sure if there is a way to force the browser to do it, but if you choose "View" "Full screen" (F11 in IE), it goes into full screen mode BUT it also allows you to enter text, etc.
