Help Flash 10.1 + full screen streaming

I find Flash is superb for watching live sports streams over the web on my Desire. Only problem is when I select full screen option on an embedded flash player, the picture goes full screen then freezes. Bizarrely if I run my finger over the screen in full screen mode the image starts moving but stops as soon as I remove my finger. Does anyone know what may be causing this? It is a problem that I have only recently encountered.
I can pinch to zoom but fullscreen would be better.


I am rooted using Leedroid 2.3d
 
right this problem HAS been mentioned a number of times on here...by myself actually no less lol...

its to do with the latest updates to 2.2...namely 405.2 and 405.5 and yes that includes the new leedroid too...

basically there IS no fix right now, only a work around..

when your using your browser DONT use it in landscape mode straight away to view a flash video....use it in portrait, start the video running THEN tap the fullscreen button...this will then *FORCE* the phone into landscape mode...and HUZZAH! it will work fine from then on..

this must unfortunately be done everytime you want to run a fullscreen flash video....I found this purely by accident when I couldnt get top gear to work..

I know its not the best answer you could hope for...but the actual fix lays at the hands of android or HTC whichever allowed the bug through I guess...
 
Thanks for.your help. Your workaround works just fine and will certainly do me for now. Sorry I missed you earlier post on the subject. I do try and look...honest!
 
Glad it worked for you and sorry I dont have any better answers or a true fix...it is a lil bit of a pain..

and yea actually it was probably easy to miss what I'd put before as it was generally in the ....404.5 update threads...but kinda buried most likely that the search wouldnt pick it up, but dont worry...alls well that ends well...

heres thinking that now theres a *THREAD* with this in, it might be easier for others to find now :)
