User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_4_11; en) AppleWebKit/525.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.2 Safari/525.22

Flash Actionscript mouse over events are ignored in flash fullscreen mode. The problem started with version 3.0. It is not a problem in 2.x. It seems to be Mac only.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Navigate to any Flash site which includes a Fullscreen button
2.Rollover effects work in normal screen
3.enter fullscreen they no longer work



Safari had the same problem in version 2x and Apple fixed it in version 3

Does the problem also happen with Firefox 3.5 beta4
(ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.5b4), and/or
with recent Shiretoko or Minefield nightlies
(ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly)?

Yes it does. 

At this site when you rollover a menu item a submenu pops up. If you click FULLSCREEN they no longer popup on rollover—you have to click.

I can confirm this also. It's happened since v 3.0 for me and still exists in 3.5 and also in 3.6a1pre. I'm using OS X 10.4.11 and it's happened for all Flash Player versions that have full screen (9+)

You can see it here:

I've also seen in on a bunch of other sites including youtube and dailymotion. The same sites in full screen work fine in Safari and Opera.

I should probably also point out that this same issue exists in Camino so it seems to me that it's probably something with Gecko causing it?
