Absolutely Brilliant!!!!!!! Been trying to sort this out for ages.... this is the closest thing to perfect i have seen. Cant seem to move the slider to where i want though... watching the whole video seems only option. But VERY VERY GOOD!!!! Thanks a lot Cyberghoser!!

Im using 10.0.45.2 and it works great for full screen.... You can get the .deb from Adobe if you dont have it in synaptic Good Luck

If anyone's looking for something cool to watch in flash, MIT have entire lecture courses online now... http://academicearth.org/ Cool Dude, glad it worked, the Greasemonkey script posted above by cyberghoser1 is great for full screen You Tube as well.... the only thing i can't do in Firefox now is Facebook Poker but that works fine in Seamonkey....
I haven't marked this post as solved because Flash is still a bit of a pig to use!! i still cant use poker in Firefox and the Greasemonkey script works really good for full screen video but thats all, you lose all the controls of the You Tube player for example.... These are just 2 of many Flash issues.... I know some of the fun of Ubuntu is constantly tweaking and playing with it, but i think it's about time Adobe sorted this out!! Flash content is everywhere and we are all using it, it works fine on Mac and Windows so why can't they sort it out for us? Seems a bit suspect to me!!! Who knows hopefully the new 10.1 will sort it out when it comes out..... Good Luck with all your Flash problems....!!?*:¿?=%$·!!!!?¿¿¿? Peace
