Keep streams fullscreen?

The newest version of Flash should allow you to do that, though it may be buggy at times and minimize your full-screened Flash.

If you need to, you can always pop-out the video, than just maximize the screen, it's not full screen per-say but it's quite big enough.

Having recently bought a 2nd monitor myself I was having the same problem. This article should point you in the right direction. http://lifehacker.com/5486698/flashhacker-keeps-flash-videos-in-full-screen-on-your-dual-monitors

Patching a flash dll with a hex editor allows you to watch fullscreen on another monitor while still using the other.

Open C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\npswf32.dll in your favourite hex editor (eg. HxD - Freeware Hex Editor and Disk Editor | mh-nexus) (For Vista users the file will be here : c:\windows\sysWOW64\macromed\flash\npswf32.dll)

Go to offset 0×136340 (hex address)

Change the byte from 74 to EB.

If you do not have 74 at that address you have a different version of Flash installed than the one this will work with.

That was the old trick, and might still be applicable. I can't post a link to the source as I had it copied in a txt file, but I remember there being several places where you could download a hacked npswf32.dll file so you wouldn't have to do the editing yourself. Search around on google and I'm sure you can find it. Whether or not it will work on the newest version of Flash though, I cannot say.

EDIT: I am fairly certain this is the trick for Flash 10.0, my last statement is meant to convey that I haven't updated my Flash since then, so I am unsure if it will work with Flash 10.3 (which I believe is the current version)

Just to update, I've used this on the most recent version of Flash and it seems to work just fine.
