FLASH: Flash projector on UNIX

[Robb Masters]

I realise that Flash can run in a browser on a UNIX box using the Java player, but I'd like to achieve that same effect as can be achieved with a Flash projector - i.e. user double clicks on a icon to get a full-screen, and ideally borderless, movie.


I've thought about the user clicking on an HTML file, but I can't find a way in JavaScript to maximise the current window or open a new maximised window.


Anyone got any ideas? Any JavaScript tricks I'm missing? Is there a Java playback engine I could address directly? Or even command line switches (to turn off toolbars and go full screen) for common UNIX browsers?


Any help would be much appreciated.
