As per their FAQs:

Fullscreen only works with Flash Player newer than 9.0.16.

It is controlled by showfullscreen option which clearly mentions that it only works with Flash v9.0.16 or higher.

An alternative is to switch to FlowPlayer plugin. I've used it in a current project with great success. It provides many more options and supports mobile devices too (iPad etc).

Here's a Flowplayer demo for switching to fullscreen: Forcing to view the video in fullscreen mode
Another one: Custom Fullscreen action with overlay

The best player to use would be videojs. Really flexible. I have used it in one of my projects and i would remend this for you. Got a full screen option by default. Uses js and no flash needed at all.

NOTE: as explaned by the author of the FLash Player here

• Fullscreen only works with Flash Player newer than 9.0.16.
• Fullscreen is not patible with wmode transparency.

so we can at least simulate the full screen for those that not support it by using the $(document) width / height ( or whatever you want ) to fix the player size: and make use of the wmode property; this way you can use CSS position and z-index to display the controls over the flash player.
