using extended desktop, videos wont stay in fullscreen
I'm using the extended desktop to watch videos on my tv while I continue working on my laptop. My problem is when I switch a video to full screen mode on the tv, as soon as I click on anything back on my laptop the video exits full screen. It's only a problem watching videos online on a web browser (I've tried it on both Firefox and IE8). From what I've been able to find out the problem is that when I click something else it takes the focus away from the video. So is there any way I can stop this from happening? or some other way I can keep videos in full screen and still work on my laptop?

most flash based videos ( like youtube or similar) wont stay in full screen if you click outside the browser window. unfortunately, this isn't really an error, it's just the way they function.
