An easy way to make what you are watching on [[Homestarrunner.com]] appear in "full screen" is to first replace <tt>.html</tt> in the [[toon]]'s URL to <tt>.swf</tt>. This will work with all [[Strong Bad Emails]], save for [[senior prom]], and most toons. A few of the toons, however, (usually older ones), will sometimes have a different SWF name than their HTML name. To find out what the SWF name of those toons are, you can right click the page and select "View Source". In the source code for the page, you will see some text that looks like this:
-
First, go into the page source by going to the '''View''' tag at the top of you internet browser and choosing the "Page source" option...

Now, here is an example code-->

<HTML>

<nowiki><HTML>

Now copy THAT part that is identafied by the "here!!!s" and --s, and type it in after homestarrunner.com/ and there you go!

Like so:

-
http://www.homestarrunner.com/welcome.swf

Please note that you CAN NOT navigate in "full screen mode"

There is a way to be able to view the Flash file of any toon or Strong Bad Email. These Flash files of the toons will always fill up the entire screen of your computer.

How to Make Homestarrunner.com fullscreen

An easy way to make what you are watching on Homestarrunner.com appear in "full screen" is to first replace .html in the toon's URL to .swf. This will work with all Strong Bad Emails, save for senior prom, and most toons. A few of the toons, however, (usually older ones), will sometimes have a different SWF name than their HTML name. To find out what the SWF name of those toons are, you can right click the page and select "View Source". In the source code for the page, you will see some text that looks like this:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Everybody! Everybody!</TITLE>

</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="black">
<center><OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
 codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
 ID=newintro WIDTH=550 HEIGHT=400>
 <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="welcome.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#000000> <EMBED src="welcome.swf" quality=high  WIDTH=550 HEIGHT=400 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED>
</OBJECT></center>


<center>

<embed src="main_nav.swf" quality="high" loop="false" menu="false" bgcolor="#000000" width="550" height="10" name="main_nav" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</center> 

</BODY>
</HTML>

What it says right after it says <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE= will be the SWF name. Enter that in the page's URL and you will be able to watch that toon in full screen.
