[solved] Fullscreen videos on multiple-display system

So I have an external display connected to my laptop, and it would be nice if I could watch full-screen videos on it while doing other stuff on the laptop display. But the problem is, whenever I have a fullscreen video running, it exits fullscreen mode the instant I click on any other window.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening? I've been looking through Openbox's rc.xml, but I'm not seeing anything that looks like it'll help.

if you're using Chromium/Chrome, try MaximizeFlash, you just enable it for the flash content you're watching and switch to fullscreen (F11)...
