But to go fullscreen on a flash video, it still has to be embedded in a page (typically). True, you can go to http://sitename.com/video.swf - but that's quite rare and isn't best practices.

I get what you're saying, actually agree more than disagree. But as it stands, I was merely playing devil's advocate since when it really boils down to it, the way I use Flash/Flex, it's as part of the site... not as an ad, it has to be embedded, and when it's all said and done... I treat the dynamics of that project as a per page project. Especially when I have to deeplink into the darn thing.
