Hi all- firstly I must say I feel rather priviledged to be posting alongside a few of the best minds in Puppylinux What I arrived at is: run the Flash animation in Seamonkey and send F11 to Seamonkey with xsendkey so that it goes fullscreen. This may be a faulty configuration in Xorg (but I could not find it). Strangely, on the particular (embedded) PC running Puppy Linux, the canvas of the standalone player would shrink to approximately 1/6th of the screen size. The second attempt was to launch the standalone Adobe Flash player, and send "Ctrl-F" to it with xsendkey. The weird thing is: Opera would not fully support the particular SWF file (even though Opera claimed to be using the Adobe Flash plugin, version 10). Since Seamonkey does not have a command line option for fullscreen, and Opera has, I installed Opera. I first tried to simply run the Flash animation in a web browser and make that web browser fullscreen. Hence my question about gnash.īefore arriving at a solution that works, there are two attempts that failed, strangely. The animation had to run full screen gnash has an option for this, the Adobe player does not. (I do not know anything about how this animation was built: there are at least three layers of managers between me and the developers of the animation, and communication gets distorted along this path.) It worked with the Adobe Flash player and gnash. I have not tried all media players, but the particular "SWF" file that I needed to run did not work with VLC and some others that I tested.

I solved my problem, but in a slightly different way than your suggestions.
