      @Andrei
      Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, it is so. Because of some limitations of Flash Player, it’s not possible to make HTML widget work in full screen mode so far. But the technology develops rapidly, and we expect to improve the widget as soon as we have such an opportunity.
