How about opening the Flash film in a popup window the same size as the
screen, with the toolbar, and scrolbars..etc removed?
It's not quite fullscreen, by it's the only way I can think of, if you
definitely can't run .exe files.
Although how will you open the browser, if you can't run .exe files?
How do you even run the system? Surely, that makes doing anything at all
with the system impossible....
