[Xerte] Ispring SWF - full screen issues

[Peter Snowball]

Pleased to advise that using the online toolkit ISpring page template 
the full screen problem only occurs if you include an "Ispring player" 
when you export from PowerPoint to swf with Ispring.   If you publish as 
"stand alone flash slides" or player "none" all is well including 
animation and audio and full screen behavior.   Note that my PowerPoint 
only includes animation and audio and no embedded movies (SWF, MPEG or 
WMV) in the PowerPoint. (single slide SWF attached and ispring settings)

If you have timed transition over a number of slides then this works 
fine but you have no control over progress and importantly audio - which 
was why i was trying to include a basic player.  This work well in 
default display but goes berserk in full screen mode as reported.

In Xerte (not online toolkit) I still get the import media problem (no 
problem with online toolkit ispring page template) and  all is OK (no 
full screen issues, correct sizing etc) if SWF is published with no 
Ispring player. However the native Xetre controller does nothing.  
Should I be able to control the SWF with script eg volume control and 
progress.
