Can not maximise flash player window

Asked by Stephen Hamilton

Hi i am new to Ubuntu and i was wondering if i can maximise the flash player window on BBC i player, YouTube etc. The flash player works fine apart from this issue, so im happily watching a video and want to go fullscreen and a frowning plug in appears telling me that the plugin has crashed. This happens in all three browsers i have installed. I have 32 bit 10.04 Ubuntu by the way, any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Stephen

Hi yes i can use the pop out however i cannot go full screen with the pop out. The BBC i player is the BBC,s own website showing there programmes

Until now we don't know which flash player e.g. adobe, gnash, swfdec?
e.g.
It was suggested (for 32bit, bug report comment #27) to disable visual effects.
