Question

How can I show a youtube or bits on the run video full screen on my app? Is there a special link I have to naviate to? Or is there a special API that takes care of that to view it fullscreen?

The idea is to click on a link ‘show video’, then show the video fullscreen, and get a button play pauze and ‘done’. When clicked done it goes back to the previous page.

I don’t know how to get started on this one. Can anyone help me out?

I’m creating an iPhone app.

Thanks!

@Muhammad has the first part right but to get it to close when you hit the blue done button you’ll need the following code.

replace

win.add(activeMovie);
activeMovie.play();

with

win.add(activeMovie);
activeMovie.fullscreen = 1; // this must be defined after you add to the window!
activeMovie.play();

then add this

activeMovie.addEventListener('fullscreen', function(e) {
    if(!e.entering) { // this is run only when exiting fullscreen aka the blue done button
        activeMovie.stop();
    }
});
