Macromedia flash 8

does anyone know how to use this program? I have some questions and I need some help.

First question, how do I make it so that the movie has the ability to be played full screen? I started with a movie and it's not a huge size but I didn't think it had to be in order to enlarge it. I want the ability to right click on it and choose full screen.

if it's embedded in a html page, the html sets the size on it, you need to open the .swf itself, then it will be as large as your web browser window.

hmm it's not in an html page or anything. I'm using the program to make a flash movie and I'm using the "test movie" option to see my progress, however, on this option when I right click the file it's still not as big as the whole screen.

Ah okey, I thought you meant Flash Player. I have no idea about that though, sorry :/

It's okay. For some reason when I right click the program to open it after I've sent it through AIM it opens on a browser window which I can maximize and it goes full screen. However, this won't work when viewing it any other way x_X. I'll hopefully figure it out :)

I dont have this program but the way i learn all of my graphics/animation stuff is mainly by messing around with stuff and google. I think I used it at school once and if i remember right there are some great tutorials that teach you step by step what to do.
